I said before the season started that Wakefield will be no pushover and definitely not a bottom side as you seem to state, their only problem will be injuries and strength in depth, they have hard working forwards and a 6 and 7 that can cause problems against most sides, I wanted Warrington to win but credit where credit is due, Wakey deserved the win and dominated every area of the game 

As limited talent wise as Jordi Crowther is, at least the guy has constant enthusiasm and plays on the front foot. Not really one I'd be having a pop at. People like Sam Powell laughing at the play the ball on the back end of a drubbing by Wigan is more concerning as an example.

If every Warrington player had his effort and commitment Warrington would win hell of a lot more games than they would lose 

It did mate, we struggled in the first 40 when we looked very leggy. Speed and skill rescued it for us.

Well, I'm back after a year of missionary work in Keighley and I wish I hadn't bothered.


When I saw Powell in the stand I assumed we'd reappointed him based on the ineptitude on display.


And given we are coached by a modern great of the prop forward genre, how have we ended up with a set of forwards that could be intimidated by the local girl guides?


Fortunately, the latter day church of Peter Deakin still needs a minister, see you in twelve months.

Woeful. Burgess has a couple of weeks to turn things around. Good cup win and beat Saints away and we could be back on track. Reality says we may just pip Widnes (at best) and get bullied at Saints. Faith in a small pack, terrible recruitment, dire and predictable attack and falling out with all and sundry….not good Sam, not good. 

Edited for accuracy.

We have one of the youngest squads in the league. We aren't world beaters but we ain't journeyman either. Maybe your team underestimated us as much as you seem to.

Awful, awful, awful. The smallest pack in the league. Even Stevie Wonder could see in the off season we needed at least one massive prop, probably two apart from the club.  It's [pure neglect. A strong season last year we should have kicked on and improved the squad like every other team bar Salford did yet here we find ourselves lucky to even be on 4 points. The writing was on the wall in game one and two when we only just beat Catalans and Huddersfield who were battered by Hull FC. We haven't played well once and I think it will be a long season where we'll be lucky to reach the play offs but it will all be ok because the sport got a few more viewing figures in Vegas.

 

Something is clearly not right, and we can now say this based on the evidence of several games. You simply don't go from having the tightest defence in the league, to conceding the Liam Hood try and similar debacles, without there being something amiss. It is pretty much the same team as last season in terms of personnel, but it doesn't look like the same team when it comes to performance. So, the important question: what happens next? Do Sam and the boys take a good, hard look at themselves, pull their fingers out, and get back to being last year's animal? Or do we fall into a long slump, with increasing bitterness, scapegoating and recriminations all round? This is Wire, folks, so draw your own conclusions!

This is what I was thinking. Something looks amiss in the group. We have a track record of this only going one way when the players get like this  - with the coach paying the price. It's ingrained in our culture. 

Big test for Burgess and Chambers.
