I think this 'charge' has been levelled at virtually every Warrington coach since the 70's.
DVDV - his Aussie mates
Can't remember who, but Rocky Turner and Paul Bishop.
Smith and Asotasi etc etc
Coaches always have their favourites and as long as it's based on performance I've no problem with that. And therein lies the problem.
There are a wide range of views on what constitutes performance.
Jason Clark is currently in the firing line - I'm not saying whether that's justified or not, just that that's what many of the peeps on here say.
I think we use Charnley and Lineham far more as an aid to our forwards than we used in the past - partly because of the way the game is played now, partly because of out lack of effective props and they are working to the coaches tactics.
And this is why we won't get the out and out try scoring Charnley that existed at Wigan.

| Perhaps it would shake our attack up a bit if we wrong footed defences occasionally by throwing the ball about from tackle one instead of our forwards running into traffic for 3 or 4 plays.

| I think it’s time we picked one out of Hughes, Jason clark, and Davies, 3 of the same type of players in a team will never work, my preference would be Davies as he runs harder.

Hughes is a good player, he doesn't make many mistakes and his defence is fantastic. Every team needs a workhorse and hughes is a good one, I just wish he would release the ball a bit more. I don't think matt Davies is the same as the other 2, he is more dynamic, he's improving and he also covers 9 at a push. Totally agree with Hughes and Clark though, pick one and have the other on the bench. They're both good players I just don't think the combination works very well.

| Quote CW8="CW8"What would your thoughts have been on mamo at centre at the start of the season? I. Personally thought he would have been useless there, I was wrong. I could be wrong about the possibility of charnley at centre as well and let's face it we aren't likely to see it are we. He's doing alright at prop for the time being anyway.'"
I think Mamo would be great at centre. But I'm not moving King. Maybe put Gelling in the second row. He runs harder than King and has scattered a couple players for half breaks doing that. I think Charnley and Lineham are fine as is. Doing what they do. They can still score tries if we get the numbers. Which we aren't doing unfortunately.

| I think Charnley strike rate on the right edge has suffered in recent times as we sometimes have 2 players who prefer to run the ball rather than passing it - Austin and BMM.
Compare Austin to Briers who was sometimes criticised for not taking the line on enough. Perhaps a bit frustrating for Briers to understand how a player cannot execute some plays like he did but like comparing apples and oranges.
Another thing that I have noticed is that Ratchford looks like he prefers to pop op on the left edge.
So maybe we have a combination of predominant runners and if the pass is made then those players may not as confident at passing to their right.
When charnley does get the ball the passes are not always on the button. He often has to stop or reach into the air to collect that allows the defender to adjust.
I am not too sure his work in yardage is hampering his try scoring.

Yes and when a new coach comes in he has different takes on players and the fans get all excited as he's suddenly willing to drop players.
TS when he arrived - "willing to tell it like it is to Briers and ship Gleeson out, shows that it doesn't matter who you are in this regime you have to perform or get out"
TS at the end - "keeps picking the same old faces and doesn't give lads like Patton or Savelio a chance"
Price when he arrived - "willing to drop Atkins and ship Matty Russell out, shows that it doesn't matter who you are in this regime you have to perform or get out"
Price at the end - "he likes to pick names"

I agree with everything apart from re J Clark. I think he gets dominated in the tackle and we lose yards and momentum as a result.

Price had dropped Lineham from the squad more than once.

Agree with this. Lineham straight back in.

Agreed. Clark is simply not good enough. He makes very little metres and tackles. I'd rather Doro play there.
