What would any board of any company do when the management continually can't get the best from their assets ?

Dec Patton is the only playing halfback at Warrington with a Challenge Cup winners medal, and without his ten minute input in the 1/4 final, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity for Austin and Widdop to play in the semi final to ensure Patton remains the only one.

Quote CW8="CW8"Very well put MIAW. You can't win a game of rugby by defending for 80 minutes and when the belief breaks so does the defence anyway. Attack is the best form of defence IMO, =#FF0000in 2012 we had the best defence and the best attack and there fore best points difference by a mile. The defensive stat was largely so good because we made the opposition defend so much. What a year to be a wire fan (except for the end of course).'"

They would review the value for money / return on each of those assets , against comparable assets in the rest of the market.

Again, start with the front row

Think we finished top with a points difference of +670 odd,...................and didn't even get to the grand final

That's the one then. Got my years wrong. Sorry rogues.

He might as well have gone, can't be good for him to keep.making the bench and not getting used.

Having a challenge cup winners medal isn't a measure of a players ability, for example, Chris Riley has three CC winners medals, Paul Johnson and Tyron McCarthy have one, Ritchie Mathers two with Wire.

Dec Patton has done a job for us, but he's not the future.

Robson, Thewliss, Doro, Roebuck, Longstaff, Dean and Connor Wrench managed a total of only 13 first team games between them through the whole season. That is not going to do much for their development. Either Price is very conservative or he felt under pressure to grab the points. Either way he has overseen an underperforming Wire team whilst simultaneously sacrificing game time for the juniors. Next season there will be no Reserves and no dual reg., so I suspect their game time will again be very limited.

I think i would rather watch a team with enthusiastic kids probably rotated into the team on a regular basis & being developed by the coaching staff into decent ,100% committed players than watching imports who only perform as & when it suits them.
