With no Clarke playing, i'm interested to hear which players get the blame as to why we lost because no doubt if Clarke was playing he would have got the blame.

I also don't understand why Lee Mitchell didn't play and why Riley wasn't recalled unless there is a clause in their loan deals.

tony smith got it wrong imo

There'd still be 'supporters' who'd blame Clarke for
a) the value of the pound
b) our poor showing at Eurovision
c) Simon Cowell's evil empire
d) today's weather
e) not getting last night's lottery numbers
f) Kerry Katona's breast reduction
g) Saturday night TV
h) Sepp Blatter
i) the lack of Ryan Giggs morality
j) my car failing it's MOT in 2009

I don't get why he didn't play today, would have better than Monaghan and I reckon he's worth his place ahead of Higham anyway.

Sorry Reidy 21 are you trying to say he would have been better than Monaghan? If so, get real. Question, Why have Warrington improved over the last few years Answer Monaghan at Hooker Simples.

Totally agree that Warrington have improved with Monaghan at hooker but he wasn't himself today, defensively good as always but he was clueless going forward, the reason why Salford scored their first try through a bad decision giving the ball to Solomona to kick on the last. His scoots were very ineffective and if you watch enough they generally are but he gets the odd that breaks the line. Just think that Clarke would have done a job today.

Clarkey get off here now, your making a fool of yourself!

I dont get that his scoots are generally ineffective as he is so creative for us with Myler, Briers and Hodgson playing of his shoulder (Normally). Had Tony Smith played Clarke today instead on Monnas the crowd would have been in uproar. Thisd is not bashing Clarke, its just on past weeks performances.

They don't usually though, Monaghan seems to just run off away from Briers and Hodgson when we get a quick play the ball and he scoots. How can it be on past weeks performances when Clarke hasn't played?

Smith is to blame for not re arranging the game. To boot Morley got injured within the first 5 minutes and never recovered. IMO its too much to ask the likes of Morley and Hodgson to back up.

Erm how can I put this? Because Monnas has and hes been great. Clarke is not up to standard as lets face it, Smith sees him on a daily basis and doesn't fancy him. Memories are nice but there are times you just have to let things go.

That was my opinion and I stick by it and personally I think we should agree to disagree, because we could go on arguing our points all night.

Rhys Williams is bobbins.

After we had trouble playing twice in a short space of time at Easter, as soon as I heard that this game was going ahead I suspected we would lose, with so many players backing up from Friday. Add the weather conditions into the mix and it was a game with 'banana skin' stamped all over it. But on the other side of the argument, if we'd called it off, we would have had to rearrange it later in the year anyway, probably on a midweek date (hoping that we won't have any Challenge Cup weekends free!). So wouldn't it have been just delaying the problem if we'd called it off? My overriding emotion tonight is annoyance, mixed with quite a bit of relief at how the other results went!
