i think your missing the point re half backs. We don't have any.

Warrington Wolves coach Tony Smith:

"The thing that really hurt us was that they had five seven-tackle re-starts and, while that doesn't sound much, throw a penalty or two on top of that and it starts to mount.

"Our last plays weren't good enough this week. I thought our goal-line defence was pretty good in the first half but it took its toll and cost us in terms of energy and affected our decision-making."

On Wolves' Super 8s hopes: "It's unlikely, isn't it? There would have to be some real twists and turns for that to happen.

"If we don't make it we'll do what Leeds did and roll sleeves up and get on with it


Make of that what you will.

Having been there, I'd say it was a fair summary. What he doesn't mention is how toothless we look with the ball.

His comments on Wolves web page is even worse reading, i cant copy paste it as ive already puked reading it once.

As evidenced by being the second worst attacking side in the league.1 point in front of Widnes may I add.Truly shocking.

Absolutely, none of this is new, it seems to be a problem that can't be fixed - otherwise after 20 games and countless hours on a training field, it would have been fixed already?

As I already said, no half backs.

They aren't good enough, I agree. But this goes deeper than that. There is no attacking structure, no one running attaching lines for the halfs to hit, no dummy runners, the structure isn't there for them to flourish. Brown had been ripped to pieces here, but he isn't a bad player - Wayne Bennett has selected him, and he has been successful at Widnes.

BUT, he is such s bad fit for this side it's unreal. He plays to a system, we don't have a system.

I can only assume that the club ,as a business, are happy to see what we assume is their main source of income,the team, be systematically dismantled before our very eyes.
Perhaps the HJ will look excellent converted into luxury apartments & with a central lawn for residents to exercise their pampered pooches or maybe even to use as space for allotments. The remnants of the playing staff could merge with Crosfield's or Latchford while Tony & Rich become advisers at the dole office & part time squash champions.

I have to say that was definitely the 'weakest' Warrington performance I have seen at BV in the last decade. It was surprising how little energy they had or urgency.
I don't think we were too hot but easily did enough to win.

I hope things pick up for you guys as the Wire supporters are definitely some of the best in the
league.

The most irritating thing for me. listening to Radio Leeds, was how obvious the deficiencies are to everybody. The commentators were harping on about how good the team/squad is on paper but that they looked clueless. CLUELESS the man said. What the golly gosh do they golly practice in training. They also made reference to the 'lifespan' of a coach and the fact that in their view TS is a good coach but perhaps the players have grown bored of his team talks / methods and are just not listening anymore.

As Runningman pointed out, the evidence is their in black an white.
