The Warriors have churned through eight coaches in 12 seasons but a losing run in April convinced the club to go all-in on their award-winning rookie coach.
Andrew Webster’s upgraded contract extension – which will see him become the equal longest-serving Warriors coach in the club’s history – was negotiated in just 48 hours, without a manager.
“When we do have a tough time, and tough times will come, Webby’s the bloke I want to be in the trenches with. I know he’s got that character that will be better in those times. Should Webster see out his contract, he would equal Ivan Cleary’s six-year stint as the longest in charge of the club. Since Cleary’s departure at the end of 2011, the Kiwi side has churned through eight coaches in 12 seasons.“I never wanted to leave in the first place, so now I get to lock up the future which I’m really grateful for,” Webster said.
