Total shambles today. Totally embarrassing. Men against boys. Nah, men against toddlers. Who seemed incapable of learning from their (many) mistakes.

Change of coach and change of personnel looks to have achieved...precisely nothing.

Yep I was actually more worried about Wire scoring when we got to the end of our sets than when they got to the end of theirs.

Eight tries off our possession must be some sort of record.

I can understand teams putting in a couple of bad performances in a season, but its round 13 and we've been taken to the cleaners 4 times this year, absoultly hammered by, Wigan, Huddersfield, Salford and now Warrington, that is a complete joke.

Culture of the club needs changing. When Noble left we were a tough, loyal hardworking team. Now we're a set of soft jokers, who don't want to put in the hardwork and simply dont give a toss about each other or the club.

Noble back.

We are a mediocre side due to the mediocre signings Potter made, surely he should be saying get the cheque book back open because we need quality! The side we put out today would be a semi decent championship side at best, the gulf in class was evident today and we need not quantity but the quality players. None of this we are looking at blah blah, rubbish we get the signature it cant be that hard as seems like every bugger else has signed some class. I would actually agree that with Noble back he'd get a tough quality side, makes me laugh when i think that Bradford used to have the best on the line defence in the league!

Apart from one class basketball style try I don't honestly think Wire had to work for one point in the first half.

In fact (correct me if I'm wrong) I think we finished the first half having made less handling errors and given away less penalties than them. How many trys did they score off charge downs?

This isn't sour grapes I honestly though that Warrington dropped the ball far too many times to win a game by that margin. Bulls are now so bad it's laughable!

At least the beer's cheap!

I think there's a deeper problem amongst the squad. There was no fight today, they seemed resigned to it from the off. Reminds me of the side that went umpteen games without a win last season and can see us putting a run like that together again.

Not sure why either but it has been alluded to by ex players and in the media that morale has been at rock bottom for years. Not sure what's going on. Is it a symptom of too many defeats over a long period of time?

I went up for a pint 15 minutes into the second half and the bar was shut. Everything went against me today.

Top it all off, it was freezing in the shade! icon_neutral.gif

Potter said this week he's trying to change the culture of the club, but it'll take time. We having a losing culture now. It's a massive job to turn this club around. Noble's a good coach but I don't think he or any coach could do it alone. We need about 3 or 4 top professionals. We've had the odd one in Menzies and Morrison but we need more of that kind of attitude on the field to lead the way.

Ok - positives first.

Beautiful day for rugby
Sibbit had a good game.
We won the final quarter 14-10. Despite having only 13 fit players, all 4 props on the field and all 3 2nd rowers.
Hopefully Potter will now believe everyone else who told him Sykes is not a stand-off. A fact known to pretty much everyone from last season.

And that is about it.

If anyone was hoping we're a fairweather team, hard tracks etc - that's gone
Our defence was no worse than the Hudds game or the Salford game. A lot worse than the Catalans game or the Leeds game. The inconsistency is appalling.
We have now been mullered 3 times in the league - the problem with this one is it was at Odsal - so everyone saw it.
There was no way we would beat Warrington - I was hoping for a bit more effort though. Leadership is lacking.
We probably set a record for most tries conceded from our own attacking kicks. A whole new way to not complete a set.
The kicking was abysmal today - Herbert, Sykes & Ah van. Also Elima & Whitehead's attacking kicks were poor - why did they end up kicking?

We all take the mick out of John Kear but he's got a team with worse players than ours that had it not been for a points deduction would be above us in the league.

We all love Lynch, Scruton, Langley, Platt but they are average players that are first choice players in our team. It's time we faced facts the hype is just bullsh17!

There's a reason Diskin isn't at Leeds anymore but he's a senior member of our squad and probably one of the top earners. Yet we expect to compete with teams like Leeds. It isn't going to happen.

So we went into the game without five regulars, then lost Ainscough, Sykes, Diskin and Elima during the "game" and had no subs left.

Elima has done his cruciate.

Its looking very very bleak right now.
