Jack Hughes is the Captain and still plays every week. That's all we really need to know.

When have you ever seen him behind the sticks demanding more from his players? When have you ever seen him demand the ball and run over the top of someone when we start to look lethargic and flat? Never.

I've been saying it for years since Morley, Carvell & Co. moved on. We're too nice! We don't have anyone in our pack with a bit of grunt about them.

The sad thing is in Hughes' absense of Captain abilities, not one member of our forwards stepped up in that time has stepped up in a game and said "Give me the f***ing ball now. Follow me lads, I'll show you the way."

Too much complacency in our pack. We've got players up front who know they can do whatever they want and it doesn't matter because they'll still get picked every week.

In fairness Cooper does try the old ‘give me the bloody ball’ thing, he certainly gave it a go in the Wakefield league game. For me he was a shoo-in for Captain, still baffled why he’s never been considered but I don’t see the inner workings. He is, however, a leader in what he does on field, very articulate and Warrington born.

Wow! Well I have gone and done it. I sat through and watched the whole game. A horrible start to the game, they took advantage and we never recovered. We could easily have lost by more as HKR ran us ragged most of the time with Matt Parcell running the show. I haven't seen us so outplayed for years. Horrible defence around the play the ball.
Couple of their tries at the start of second half could easily have been called for forward passes.
Our best ... probably Bullock & Mata'utia.

Hard to watch but had to be done.

He has been the standout candidate for the captains armband since he came back to the club, I hope the only reason he doesn't have it is that he turned it down.
