Quote: FlexWheeler "It's not a coincidence, a few is unlucky, but 6 on the trot, 4 in the last 3 seasons alone is not by chance.
Warrington fail miserably to do the basics needed in the big finals. They don't have the mentality. They never did. In the CC beat a crap Huddersfield team and then easily beat a Leeds team twice who at the time had a hoodoo. The common factor was that the games were open and won early. But when it comes to the grind, set for set, taking chances, playing for field position Warrington have never had that in the big finals, and that's where titles are won.
Honestly next grand final Warrington play I'll know in the first 10 minutes if they have what it takes. Are they finishing the set properly, are their attacks organised? Are they restricting metres from the opposition coming out of their half?
It's simple, not easy, but simple.'"
Yeah that’s fair enough and a lot of us have said it ourselves but as I keep saying; what does that say about the rest of the league and what the hell are the rest of them all doing?
We haven’t been anywhere near the best side in the country in the last five years yet in the last three years we’ve won the LLS, finished fourth once and got to four of six finals. What the hell is everyone else doing? We’ve got and had so many deficiencies that we should be a 5th-7th placed side, for me, maybe with the odd CC semi final.
What is everyone else doing that sees us keep overachieving? It’s not saying a lot for the rest of this competition, that’s for sure!
Two very poor half backs plus a very average and unfit Thompson, an over the hill Westwood, a less than average Hughes, a two stone overweight Murdoch-Masilla, a very poor GKing, no real back-up/interchange for Clark... yet we’ve had one LLS, a fourth placed finish and four of the last six finals made!
