there never was going to be a quick fix. and it looks as if the obvious weak areas are being looked at, the 3/4 and half backs. its the next signing after the Aussie wing/centre that is key, will it be an enforcer prop to add fire, experienced 2nd row or defensive lf as back up to jamie whose injuries have badly affected his on field performances this season (no criticism of jamie, as a string of them would affect any players performance).

Rubbish. You come out of the dressing rooms, put your shoulder in and sit the Warrington player on his backside. You tackle your nuts off for your team mate and fans. Not stroll out and give a half ar$3d performance. Disgraceful, disgusting. Attitude is appalling.

The contrast with last week is amazing. Sort of sums us up this season, capable of a good result occasionally (in the wet) and equally capable of total capitulation against a side that can throw the ball around.

At the end of the day Potter has signed a bad bunch. There is no real class in the squad, we have some good players but no class. If we want to be in the top 4 again the only way we will do it is to sign some quality players.

Od bring some through, but our juniors are looking shot to bits.

From a Warrington fans perspective, you have obviously recruited some very average players - Herbert is garbage, Kearney is almost as poor, and generally speaking you are too slow and lack ideas.

Sammut should hopefully give you a much needed boost next year, and Burgess looks a belter and definately a star of the future! Hope he doesn't leave to join his brothers for your sake...

Atkins scored 4 tries today. As one of our youngsters that is particularly galling. Another great recruitment cock up of the last 6 years.

Who let him go? Nobby or SM?

That seems to be an ongoing bone of contention...

Dunno but it was a bad one. Which gives me an idea...

Potter:

"We were poor in most facets of the game and they were very good which just goes to show if you are just not on your game you can get burnt, especially against a team like Warrington.

"Everyone makes mistakes, but we made far too many of them and the other team is just too good to give them those sorts of chances. We just gifted them so much.

"We have gone from being very good one week to very poor the next and Warrington were hot today and we just couldn't contain them.

"From one to 17 they beat us so we go back to trying to get the fundamentals right as I think we only had 13 sets in the second half so you can't win or even compete in a game if you don't have the football.

"We will review the game tomorrow and Tuesday and look to rectify some of the issues we have got because you can't ride the rollercoaster of having one good performance and then one poor one and that consistency has been a problem for us all year.

"I'd like to think we can bounce back but we need to address that consistency issue which has plagued us through the season and is why we are where we are on the table."

Not a bad team that.

“@mattdiskin: Back down to earth with a bump. No excuses the performance was embarrassing ”

Noble released him in favour of that world beating Aussie we had signed, Ben Harris, remember him? The one Caisley said would 'rip it up in Super League'?

That's the same Noble whom also released Bridge, told Leon he wouldn't make a stand off so long as he had a hole in his a*se. Some say he's a super coach too

In the ensuing years we have also lost Larne Patrick, Ben Hellewell and Joe Wardle yet here we are with no quality backs??

How things could have been so different

I've started another thread on these recruitment balls ups.
