If we go onto playoffs with our back up squad, we're toast. If we go in at full strength, we've a chance. It's as simple as that.

The next few months is to decide who of the squad players we need to move in. I suspect Currie is top of that list. Peanut isn't far behind and Ratch is back up next year.

Can't win en all

Quick question, were you this knee jerk when we actually was poor?

I noticed after the Wigan loss you'd sprung into action and after this Saints loss, you've made the most of the opportunity to rain down a load of negatives.

What do you want now: sack the coach? Get rid of all the players?

If we win next week, will you be back?

Hard to see any positives from that although Walker and Russell had great games. We have no strike from centre and Ratchford, Minikin and Matautia are just not good enough to win trophies. It is not as if you see them creating space for the wingers either.
We badly need Wrench back and just wonder if Thewlis could make it there.
Might be time to bring Riley Dean back too if we want more creativity.

The disappointing thing was the lack of fire and passion bar a few minutes when Kasiano and Matautia came on.

Dufty’s ‘efforts’ for some of the tries was risible and all teams will be targeting him with the kick now - seemed spooked to go for a high ball.

But we’re 8 from 10 and need to come back strong against Wakey and build again.

Bongser wishes that Leigh had 16 points (therefore 16 clear of the dreaded bottom spot) and were top of the shop (at least until Sunday). This time last season you were collectively dropping more liquid than Niagara.

A tad of perspective needed perhaps, ladies and gentlemen.

Your friend,

Bongser

We are 8 from 10 going into a much needed break for a squad that's running on fumes right now.

If nobody saw tonight's result & general display coming after the previous 2 games, then I'm sorry, you probably need to find another sport to follow...

Yes. I expected a response tonight after Friday and we reverted to the same game plan by the looks of it. So now I expect us to wallop the team who are bottom or we've truly lost our mojo.

A certain element of our posters on here expect things to run perfectly from start to finish. We discovered new frailties last week against Wigan and some can't believe that everything wasn't fixed in one week. Even though much of our success in the opening 8 fixtures was down to the solid base our forwards established, some believe we must be enept because we can't perform without it. Some believe that we should be beating much more successful and established sides with similar issues to us ie. Lack of forwards, straight away without giving the coach and his new squad chance to rectify the situation. Some just like a good moan and Warrington losing provides a great opportunity for this.

What would your gameplan have been without a descent set of forwards 'Warringtonwolves69'? I smell a rat here.

I think the important question is 'Why is Wilkin allowed to commentate' If you find him annoying, believe me as a Saints fan it's like purgatory

No need to launch an ad hominem attack, we're all frustrated by the last two weeks no matter how we dress it up, but at the end of the day I'm entitled to my opinion and don't need people jumping down my throat.

Dear god what kind of fans have we got ... Eight wins on the bounce... Let's all have a party ... Lose two matches and it's.. let's bring back public executions ... A season is fluid ... Good wins and bad losses with injuries playing a part ...I've seen nothing to say that Wigan and sts can't be beat so long as the team learns the lessons and the fans learn to have a bit of faith

Fans recorded the biggest ever home crowd at the HJ last week. Let's not have a pop at us fans a lã last season

It's not the fact that it's 8 wins then two losses. It's the nature of the losses. We've been totally outplayed in both, nilled in two halves and looked devoid of creativity and nerve by teams we should be considering our nearest rivals. Wigan, I could kind of take, but to lose in a very similar vein to a poor Saints team is just disappointing that's all.

You have been saying this for 60yrs?

2 depleted sides playing in the first quarter of the season. Not exactly a massive game was it. Yeah bar a few we weren't good and just shows when we don't have the forwards we can't cope. I disagreed with Dita about 7 props aren't enough, but seeing as our whole plan revolves around our forwards i tend to agree now.
Again this was an overhyped game that isn't the be all end all on the spectrum. But seeing as they were much more depleted than we were it shows we still aren't good enough.
Back end of the season might tell a different story but i'm not gonna sweat it at this stage of the season.
2 week break and away we go again.
Russell was proberbly our best player today

I totally agree that we're all entitled to our opinions:

We've won 8 out of 10 against some very decent sides including Catalan's away, so my opinion is that you seem to be enjoying the negativity around these 2 results given the 'passion' in your numerous posts in the past week.

The 'passion' mirrors my levels of disappointment, tis all. I'll rein it in.

BTW, someone kind of nailed it for me in a earlier post: it looks like we're running on empty.

Disappointing, but there's a long way to go and we need some losses early doors to help us learn some lessons for when it really matters.

Grow up fella if this is your disappointment you’ve seen nothing from the late 90s early 00s onwards. Get to bed.

I've been watching Warrington since I was 5. I'm 36 now. But carry on patronising me, sound. Prick.

What? I have no idea who that is so don't conflate my posts with his.

Of course you have! That explains your OTT posts

We were bad tonight but nothing is won in April

"Top of the league, we're having a laugh, etc"

Also, can people stop saying we're missing Mikaele - he's gone & isn't coming back, can we move on please

Also also, our 2 worst performances are with McGuire playing, hmmmmmm
