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.

That reminds me very much of Warrington under Daryl Van de Velde, and dare I say it, under Cullen too. I felt genuinely sorry for you lot today, not pretty viewing.

Forgot Mark Flannagan.

Obviously a lot of the players above are not at the club for various different reasons not all down to the club and some of them I wouldn't want at the club but Wardle is the worst for me. I would have hoped we would have learnt from our mistakes by the time he left for Huddersfield for more cash than we would or could offer him.

Not been funny but give me Ben Harris over Atkins any day. More worrying for us is the juniors coming through. Are they good enough?? They're getting belted everyweek and a lot of them are full-time.

One player we have let go that could come to bite us is Ben Helliwell. Deemed not good enough for us. But had gone and signed for.... you guessed it Warrington.

Your fans were good today, nearly everyone of them stayed to the end and were singing for your team thoughout the game

I know how you guys feel, I have watched the Wire get battered enough times over the years believe me.

Not wishing to rub anything in but you just did not have any smart players out there. No one to give direction or that bit of class. I am a fan of Mick Potter and I think he has shown at Catalans and Saints he is a good coach. I think the loss of Matt Orford hit you hard and you are still feeling his loss.
