I get your point and I’m probably just desperately scratching round to find some positives, but at least we have another academy prospect coming through.

Good to see Wrench back too - surprised to see him in the 13 but probably shows how much King has been struggling.


Other than that, very disappointing,  top six is looking increasingly unlikely and that must be putting pressure on Burgess’ position.

Last week we were well up for it. Even with a make shift side like today, against probably better opposition (sorry Wakey) but it was another of those typical Wire performances. Which really annoys me as we know what we are capable of, but we seem to turn it on and off whenever we want to. I turned it on and we were 12-0 down after 10 minutes. That was enough for me to realise it was going to be another of those 'poor' performances, and it was. I know a Wakey fan who tells me Mason Lino is only championship standard but we made him look like Andrew Johns today. I'm so bored of watching us this season, apart from the cup i'm at the point where my interest has wained. And i'm not even looking forward to the cup. I know we can cause an upset (2019) but lets be honest, Hull KR are just going to bully us off the park like Wigan did last year. We are not even in their league. Tough run of fixtures coming up. With KR in the league then Castleford who we underestimate at our perile. Then Leeds after the cup. We could still be stuck on around 12 points by mid June and losing pace with those above. 

Let’s not get too carried away. It was bad, but throwing the toys out is a bit daft. There were chances in the game to change the momentum and we just didn’t take them. We struggled to create any ruck speed, which in part was down to us being soft carrying the ball away from our line. Wrench, Lindrop and particularly Thewlis were driven back on a number of occasions. Missed King and Ashton in that area.


We do need to get better at kick collection though. Really bad, really really bad at kick catch. Need some intense practice in that area, it’s been a trend all year. 


We’ll have plenty of chances to get ourselves in the 6, and have a cup final to play for, without our 2,4,5,6,9 and 12. No excuses, it’s a squad sport, but the amount of salary cap in the stand is insane. We just didn’t have it in us today to deliver a fight like last week, but that fight is still there when we need it. 



To the guy who said Vaughan is rubbish, take your meds and get some bed rest. 

Well, the last 3 weeks has summed Wire up in a nutshell 


Heroic defeat
Ground out win
Battered.


For those who follow football,  will be familiar with the term Spursy


I think in RL terms , its known as Wirey 

He was great last week. Not so much this week. 

What chances were those then?.

Have spurs won 6 trophies in the last 15 years?

Classic warrington. Players are only bothered by the cup and lift for those games. A big two fingers up to the fans. 


Darryl has done the double over us. Tell me was this game any better than the Wakefield loss that got him the sack? 


We are as far away from a GF win as ever.  

At 12-0 we got into decent position and Dufty drops it from Sneyd. We lose the Tai challenge which is 50:50 really. Vaughan offloads 15 yards out and it’s intercepted. Thewlis is dragged into touch and we have the Russell interception pulled back for the late Tai tackle. That is all at 12-0. We just turned it over softly, didn’t try and build pressure but tried to solve it on our own. 

I don't see it as two fingers to the fans. I think the rest that teams get when they are out of the cup makes a difference with less injuries etc.HKR/Leigh/Catalan & Wire didn't play that well at the weekend. Mind, totally agree with you that we are highly unlikely to appear at the grand final ... as we are quite simply not good enough.
