Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you! - Winston Churchill:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40515.jpg



Quote: ThePrinter "The disappointing aspect of the game is that we actually had chances after the 30 mins mark to gain control and we blew them. I was fearful that we could get blown away in first 20 and the game be over before we'd even got going but it wasn't the case.

1, After we go ahead 8-6 and Warrington are starting to struggle in the rain we have Hall tackling Hodgson a yard from Wire's tryline and we have the position and momentum to dominate the last 10 mins of the half and a take at least a 2 point lead into the break if not 6 or 8, instead we concede back to back soft penalties and its 12-8 down.

2, The Delaney try, correct decision made, 2 knocks on, scrum to Leeds. Whether or not the players thought it was the wrong call they were still only 20m out with a full set at Wire's defence and if they score then nobody remembers the no try as we still come away with the try and the 2nd half plays out very differently.

As well as Warrington played in that 2nd half can't help but think we shot ourselves in the foot and our own unforced mistakes were the key.'"


I fully agree with you. Warrington are possibly the best side in SL and were clear favourites before the game and the pre match worry for me was to stop them getting their usual flyer and being out of sight by half time. Remember the last time we played them at Wembley under a different coach and most of the side was 2 years younger?

We were in the game at half time and for a brief spell had the lead. Warrington were easily the best side on the day but had we not given those stupid penalties away it could have been quite a different scoreline.

We went into the game without two of our key strike players. One injured and one in disgrace. The other key strike player Burrow was possibly not fully fit and lacked his usual zip. Warrington had a good game plan to close down both Sinfield and Burrow and did so to crucial effect including a bit of biff. Yet despite these handicaps, and 4 of our 5 props being below par on the day, the game was finely balanced until our discipline let us down in the 2nd half.

So the conclusion for some is to change the coach!

Now to the fans. We got exactly what we deserved didn't we? Afterall theres always some kunt on here telling everyone how bad we are, how we don't deserve to support this team. So i guess that sh*t performance was on us eh? Let's hope we get more.

Yes, you got what you deserved, sadly the players didn't. You don't deserve to support this team.

So, do you want to replace the threequarterline from yesterday, if they're "done"? You want to replace Ward?

Let's just replace fans like you who haven't got a fekkin clue what they're on about.

I Think you have some good young players however some of the older guys are not quite what they were and it matbe time to look at phasing them out burrows baily jjb etc

I feel you would benefit by rejuvenating the pack and accepting mediocrity for a season or so for the younger guys to gain experience

Coaching a team to every available final is conclusive prove that he's not good enough, apparently.

mc dermot imo is a top coach and given time im sure he will improve on the cc performance, if he is given time to buil his own team. ward is a cracking prospect and am sure a la myler will come good under the guidance of mcguire.

i think id start looking to replace burrow as with the money he is im sure there is sum1 better suited for the future. Top flight sport is ruthless and not one for sentiment he has been outstanding in the past and am sure that he gives 100% but if that 100% is no longer good enough....

No, I read the 1st page and couldn't be bothered with any more. I apologize, I have under estimated the scope of your stupidity.

Just because we didn't lose the game in the first half but rather the second doesn't change the fact that we were really outclassed at times. The way the score went happens in RL a lot - outmatched team struggles to compete and stays in the game for a while, but then falls away when the better team turns up the heat.

The threequarters are the least of our worries. The pack almost to a man is average without any linebreaking ability whatsoever (I suspect opposition coaches of half-decent teams barely need to worry about tries being scored up the middle from short range, we simply have no punch at all). We already have too many chiefs even before McGuire comes back, but bizarrely even with so many 'playmakers' look to have absolutely no clue near the line against a committed defence. Our defence was back to its 2010 sieve-like worst for long periods, with no control over the tackle at all.

I doubt a really good coach would make much difference, as the 'surgery' that needs to be done is fairly major IMO - we're 2 or 3 CLASS forwards shy at the moment.

Added to the above, picking a centre on the bench (and a decidedly average bench at that) with the plan to move one of the threequarters is bonkersville. we would also have been far better served with a Clarkson type forward adding mobility at 13 than a prop who simply looked all at sea as to what his role was supposed to be. The responsibility for those sorts of decisions and the lack of structure and rubbish defence belong to the coach.
