Quote: Wires71 "I am saddened by the attitudes I see on here.

So OK we are not playing well and are likely to have an uneventful season. Some players are suffering with form, some signings have not turned out how we may have wished. But blimey the reaction? Like a petulant 3 year old denied a toy.

May I remind that Tony Smith has been the most successful post war manager this team has ever had. We have won 4 trophies under his reign and 2 GF visits. This was the stuff of fantasy in my period of watching since '79.

We are having a poor season but I back him to sort it out. The faithful backed Cullen for 6 seasons of mediocrity without achieving anything prior. Surely we owe Smith a little loyalty, breathing space and time?

Also the way certain individuals talk in derisive terms about players who have won silverware for us less than 3 years ago, but now are struggling, speaks volumes about them. e.g.) Joel Monaghan leading try scorer last year and darling of the faithful in 2014 can now "get shut". Ben Westwood who runs his blood to water and earned the monicker "Super" can now be got rid off like an embarrassing relative. Charming fans aren't we? Zero grace, honour or class.

To me loyalty and fairness means sticking with people through the good and the bad and giving them a fair chance and reasonable time to remedy the situation.

I believe that is in the best interests of the Club at the moment, rather than the rabid demands for a mass clear out.'"

Plenty of coaches in RL have seen success.... plenty of those coaches have then seen those sides fall away after a few years at the top.....but how many have turned around a bad few years to see past glories brought back to a club? i cant think of any

Simon Moran will show loyalty to Tony Smith and rightly so, yet I feel the length of Smiths tenure is in his own hands he has a team not performing as well as it should, he will have to correct that pronto for now, next season will depend on who he brings in and more importantly who he lets leave, he has to decide who's best days have gone and who doesn't fit into his plans.

Simon Moran will back him with a Marquee signing (massive disappointment if not) Tony's future will be down to Tony.

Hes earned the right to try and turn it around next season...if next season there are no improvements then it's time to go...that's if we don't get relegated mind.

I'm happy to give him another season to try and sort this mess out... I'm not sure he will get it if things carry on the way they are though.

At the end of the day we have seen 5 different coaches win the grand final during his reign at Warrington... For a few seasons we had the best squad of players in the league and didn't win it.

This is a big point.

Yes, we had a period of success. Winning three Challenge Cups in four years is an amazing feat but in reality we did underachieve in the period of 2010-2013 as we didn't win the Grand Final or go and compete in the World Club Challenge in any of those years...and as brutal as this is, we should have done.

Having a team as good as we did doesn't come round very often, we did some amazing things but wasted the chance to make a historic era in the game. We hung back as a defensive line and allowed Burrow to get a run on us and get Hall in for a try to allow Leeds back in the game when we were in total control for about an hour in 2011, we looked overly nervous and played within ourselves in 2012 and then blew a big lead against Wigan in 2013.
