Quote: Robbie Rotten "It doesn't sound daft at all, JWP, I completely agree. When you love something so much, you can't help but be upset/angry when you see that thing being made a mockery of. We, as fans, dream of the club winning, doing well, enjoying themselves and us enjoying ourselves. Seeing that team, rock bottom in terms of confidence, and our manager slumped in his chair looking gormless all night hurts as a fan, I'm sorry but it does, and for him to come out and completely contradict everything he says/does, is like a kick in the balls.

I apologize if I sound OTT, but seeing that tonight was the last straw.'"


I know what you mean. It's like someone is pee'ing up your back and tell you it's raining.

If he was honest enough to come out, last week, this week, whenever. Lay his cards on the table, tell you we stank, the players were crap, tactically he was exposed and him & Wright are going to get together a Plan B, I'd still be bloody angry, but the acceptance of wrong doing I'd respect. We're all human, we all make mistakes, and thus we can relate to such things. To make out, we're just a few little tweaks away from greatness just beggars belief, and isn't consistent with reality, which I just saw with my own eyes.

I've never felt so bitter towards somebody that I don't know. It's terrible really, I'm not like that, but I really am angry at what he's doing.

I agree. I honestly felt like he was joking, I really did, I just don't know how he came to those conclusions, especially when he spent most of his time staring into the sky.

THE PLAYERS ARE NOT PERFORMING!!!

Basic player mistakes and player errors are costing Jimmy Lowes his job. I suspect tactical play developed in training has not yet been employed due to the wire playing on the back foot during most of the last three games.

It appears Jimmy is backing his players to the hilt, as you would expect. Obviously staying cool under pressure ensuring a ‘no panic’ mentality is Jimmy’s style, nothing wrong with that.

Additional unnecessary pressure added by Skent, with his probing questions to Jimmy is not helpful to Warrington. Cracks are obviously apparent with Jimmys uncomfortable demean during the interviews…. Skent to Jimmy is the BBC to Alex Ferguson.

The players need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask are they giving everything?

On a positive note the players Jimmy has brought in are performing. Higham and Carvell a pair that Jimmy can build on.

The old guard need to play catch up and produce an effort in line with Jimmys new recruits.

COME ON THE WIRE!!!!

Are the performances due to the players following Lowes instructions or realising his techniques don't work and try to fix then?

Quote: WANDERER "As an outsider looking in, I have to agree about the players in terms of being to blame.

The truth is that the so-called big names are no where near as good as the hype would suggest (examples Briers, Monaghan, King & Vinnie Anderson) and the youngsters are simply not yet up to it at SL level (examples Riley, Penny, Blythe).'"


Not Mr Stat Attack?!


I'd like to close this post with a final comment,
Lowes out.

It appears Jimmy is backing his players to the hilt, as you would expect. Obviously staying cool under pressure ensuring a ‘no panic’ mentality is Jimmy’s style, nothing wrong with that.If he is sticking up for them in tough times, he's had 7 months to bring players on his side. Backs against wall for a long time and no change, there not repaying him

Additional unnecessary pressure added by Skent, with his probing questions to Jimmy is not helpful to Warrington. Cracks are obviously apparent with Jimmys uncomfortable demean during the interviews…. Skent to Jimmy is the BBC to Alex Ferguson.
If a couple of tough questions are enough to unravel the coaching, then he shouldnt be in coaching of any sport, unless its tiddlywinks. Don't get that immunity until you earn it, and then it doesnt last.

The players need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask are they giving everything?

On a positive note the players Jimmy has brought in are performing. Higham and Carvell a pair that Jimmy can build on.
Not particulary, while neither were players Lowes had final say on, one is injured long term seemingly (fancy that!) and the other has seemed to regress

Quote: Lowes Out Hanley In "I think the title says it all.

Personally I cant wait till 2009 is over and alot of these drunkards are out of contract and dispatched elsewhere.

Hanley is needed and needed fast, he will sort the wheat from the chaff.

Show no mercy Ellery lad.'"


Do you [iseriously[/i believe that even Hanley has the ability to turn around this shower of e around and turn them into matchwinners?

Do you think he will get rid of the drinking culture that embodies the club currently?

No chance at all.

No doubt these "superstars" were out beering it up again just like they were doing last week after the Catalans game. icon_rolleyes.gif

I don't think you can blame a drinking culture on what we have seen for the last 7 games, it goes much deeper than that. The whole culture of the club needs to change and that needs to be done through strong leadership and a very strong coach. The board need to appoint someone with vision.

Quote: pilki22 "We need a coach which will motivate the team and not be in it for the money.'"


Nonsense. We need a thoroughly professional, highly-paid coach who is in it for money and bonuses achieved when he brings success to the club. Plenty of passion will come along with that. The sort of coach who 'will not be in it for the money' will be found coaching in the amateur leagues.

By the way, Ellery 'I'm the daddy' Hanley is not a thoroughly professional coach, just a fine ex-player with minimal coaching ability.

I'll start by saying that Hanley wouldn't be my choice, just to be clear. I'm well & truly in the 'Get Tony Smith at all costs' camp.

What I will say on the Hanley issue, is that off field stuff, I'd back him to make inroads. He'll ruffle & few feathers do doubt, bruise a few egos, and you'd have to have a strong boardroom to back his decisions, but I do think he'd tackle those issues head on. It's the onfield stuff that would worry me about Ellery, does he have the knowledge of SL to make us a top team, Wigan fans for example think Noble is behind the times (I don't), and he won it 3 years ago. Hanley has been out of top flight RL for so long, does he have the tactical nous needed at this level ?
