Quote: rubber duckie "So I have less right to say Wire will win, than another poster can say Wire will lose…isn’t that the prerogative of a forum.
And you say I’m delusional.
Fair dos.
With all the delusions of bombed chances that blew our scoring chances and gave away easy ground, and incorrect ref calls, I believe we should have beaten Saints.
All that and Saints by their own admission played the toughest game all season, yet Wire have sheet loads of improvements yet to come from them. Wire we’re no where near their best.'"
Of course you should have beaten us, Walmsley Paasi, Wingfield, Norman, Delaney, Hopoate and Hurrell missing would be enough to incapacitate most teams. Couple it with Sironen, Makinson and Knowles playing injured any team wanting to be taken seriously in the competition should have seen the obvious Saints tactic of getting ahead and then clinging on. We had Royle at prop for christs sake.
But Saints did what they have done for decades, found a way to win, and Warrington did what they did for decades, found a way to lose. Until you address such a fundamental culture issue, you can have as much improvement in you as you like, it wouldn’t change the result.
Also I don’t understand the ref calling; what precisely did he get wrong? From about 20 minutes onwards you got about 10 penalties/ back to 6s to our 1. The breaking at the scrum penalty really annoyed me as Warrington had been doing it all game.
