Quote Live Wired="Live Wired"I don't buy into this x number of players missing = poor performance. The players on the pitch today, were, deemed to be good enough to play for Warrington. Just the same as the players who play for Widnes tomorrow, are deemed good enough to play for Widnes. They are professional players, wether at Warrington or any other SL side. I draw the line at the players missing argument, when it's in the lower part-time leagues, where teams are affected by certain key players missing, or in Warrington's case, when Lee Briers is missing. As good as O' brien promises to be, you cannot go into a SL game with only 1 recognised HB.
Warrington are miles off last season's team ( good in the long-term), ie, fit for the end of season. But, any fan watching today, who thinks that we should be putting 50+ on every team, or blames the ref, is seriously deluded.
We seriously need a good hiding to knock this cockiness out of the club. This will be in France next week. The more worrying aspect, long-term, is when Briers retires. Myler is simply not good enough to move the team around, and O' Brien is still inexperienced.'"

We are 1 point behind Wigan/Hudds. But people can still complain.
*I’ve included Riley, who did play. But, he is never going to be a FB. Was poor today, and I’m one of his biggest fans. Interesting reading posts saying he needs to do this or that or the other. The truth is he’s not an FB and never will be. I still give him some credit though, as throughout his career, he has done what has been asked of him, to the best of his abilities, and never let his head drop; until today.
