| I cannot believe fans would put seeing entertaining rugby over winning a grand final. I simply don't care if we win the final in the most boring game of rugby the world has ever witnessed. I want my team to win. if they do it in an entertaining way, then great. But this is sport and sport is about winning.

A couple of years ago I might have agreed with you, but I watch rugby league because it's entertaining. If it's no longer that, why watch? I'm compelled to watch my Warrington, as I support them, both fanatically and financially (although fans cash input is less important these days) but for the investment, I would appreciate entertainment in return.
Some of the best games I've witnessed as a spectacle were at Knowsley Road when we would throw the kitchen sink at Saints and they would inevitably prevail, just because we didn't win doesn't mean that I wasn't completely enthralled in the entertainment.
I'm completely behind Tony Smith, and it will be a sad day when he does leave this club, but we have had some great value from him. Tough act to follow

| Winning in sport is everything, nothing else matters. Winners breed winners, the trouble with this country is that successive governments have pushed us into the "taking part counts more" and "being inclusive" and ffs don't upset anyone by a team winning. Junior teams not allowed to win by certain levels no "A or B" teams. It has now spread to adults hence the lets play entertaining and it doesn't matter if we lose, well bo11ocks to that.
This is sport not a past time, winning is everything!

| Surely Mr Moran will want a championship for all his financial input over the years at some point? Where do we draw the line and say we need a change and some new ideas? When do we get to a point when things (behind the scenes, in the dressing room) go stale? For me, we are very near to this point. For all the great things Tony has done, surely the end game is the win Super League, which in his 8 year tenure, has yet to be done.

Agree with you on the Knowsley Road games when we were plucky underdogs, just falling short at the last (as we all including the players secretly knew they would). But things are different now.
Out of interest do you think we have been remotely exciting to watch in the Agar period 2015, 2016 ?

| Not that we use excuses but there should be no reason why we cannot go one better than last year. The squad over the last few years has had players that never really played much part due to injury. Most of these are off the cap now and I know injuries can happen at any time but we have a more robust squad now. There has been enough time to transition from the Monaghan, Morley, Briers etc era.
I would imagine if we don't at least equal last season then there will be some difficult decisions needed.
I like TS and would love to be at the club for a long time. If the results are not there then It will depend if there is a better coach available.

The "Agar" period? Never heard so much midless dross. No other assistant has ever received so much attention.
And for what it's worth, Warrington we're exciting to watch for large periods last year, especially the early parts of the season. I was entertained throughout the season.

| I'd be very happy with Powell coming in to replace Smith when he goes.

| why the powell love in? yeah they have previously played some good rugby, but there's zero pressure or expectation on him, and the closest they've got to a trophy was a kicking at wembley.

| When Smith leaves, PLEASE don't let it be Powell.
As obnoxious as our coach was, before Smith (and that takes some doing). odious twunt.

| And in his interview for the Guardian ,Matty Russell acknowledges that there is no Plan B.....surely our esteemed coaches should work on this problem especially if it has held us back for the last umpteen years.
