This bloke, (one of the greatest half backs to ever play the game), had some scathing views, and we agreed on a lot.

1. Why play a hooker who is finished, at scrum half, when you have a good young half back on the bench?
2. If Tony Smith doesn't like O'Brien, why not let the kid go for the sake of his career?
3. Why did Warrington sign a 34 year old forward?
4. What is Myler's role, either shape the team around him, or ship him out.
5. Monaghan & Westwood as joint captains, whats that about?
6. With no forward platform, and no creativity, it will be a very long season for Warrington.

His final thought was a bit surprising.

7. Wire could do with a few more good hidings to shake Tony Smith out of his comfort zone, and have some pressure put on him.

Murphy is all about shock and contraversy when he speaks in public. At James Roby's formum last week he slagged everone off, including players, management, the game itself, and anyone else who got into the firing line.

It was said to me that before Smith would let the players out of the dressing room he gave them the Murphy treatment too.

A bit of rant does no harm.

The way the players were apologetic on twitter i would imagine they got the hairdryer and both barrels of the shotgun.

And the football boot, and the slice of pizza.....
