Actually I don't think LW's negativity will be repeated by everyone if we lose to Les Cats. I think a lot of the fans on here think that we could easily lose because Cats have a very good side this year and have home advantage.

At the moment Wire are approaching a transition. Briers will not be here for much longer (1 yr ?), Morly is sadly a shadow of the man who smashed Crabtree a couple of seasons ago and Hodgeson is likely to be here for 1yr max. (and prone to injury). Add to that the injury to Monas and its not hard to see why we are not the team we were last season. It means we have to rest our ageing rockstars and either blood our new young talent, or buy some new established talent. TS took a gamble today, but at least had the guts to keep the faith with his young guns. I think we are perhaps all guilty of being a bit negative after a couple of years of high quality rugby. Perhaps we need to cut them some slack and accept we may well see a dip in performance before a new, stronger team re-appears.

Was that aimed at me fella?

Tbh today we seemed like a cigarette lighter with a broken flint ,plenty of gas in the tank but no spark to get it working. I thought McCarthy seemed to liven things up when he came on as did Harrison & i thought Grix had a good game.Sadly ,at the moment ,O'Brien's close to the line pinpoint kicking needs to be worked on but it can only get better with practice.Higham is having probably his best performances for us to date & good to see Carvell getting back to normal. Things can only get better but Smith's ring must have been twitching at times today.

yeah - newish to the forum - didnt get it tbh?
is it related to the new lads progressing/getting experience?
been out tho

AND - slow typer

FFS, I can't believe the negativity around here at times

Our Leader took a calculated risk.....it paid off....great stuff
Youngsters get game time at the highest level...great stuff
One of them picks up a MotM award....great stuff
We win...two points...great stuff
Morley (reading between the lines, today) may well be staying next year...great stuff
We're near the league's summit...great stuff
Yet we've STILL got negative people on here. Tell you what, #### off to Widnes or Cas and take mediocrity/5h1te week in, week out. We don't need your crap round here. We've won the LLS shield and 2 CCs in the last 3 years, and people still bleat. DO ONE, or be thankfull for what we've got.

Some people, honestly!

How many times did DVDV and Andersontry to replace Briers in 1999-2002 because he wasn't experienced enough. Nowe 10 years later we're saying that O'Brien hasn't got the experience to be the main playmaker. O'Brien is where Briers was 10-12 years ago. He's a real; talent and will be a worthy successor to Lee Briers when the time comes. There's been criticism of Myler on this threaf too. He hasn't played for weeks and yet his ability gets questioned even now. How many times does it have to be said before the penny drops with some People? Myler and Briers are completely different in their style of play. He have 9-10 first choice players out and still win a SL game, yet still people moan.

THis. Well done Lefty, couldn't have put it better myself.

Myler, still not fit for the 17... great stuff

iswt?
yeah - I agree (have mentioned on other threads earlier), we played excellent stuff at wrong end of season last year. but, we got the monkey off our back re LL sheild
I don't know if you heard the CC draw on tues morn or not? but when Leigh were drawn out, the next team drawn were - SUPER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS - ........................................................................LEEDS - I thought we were champions by WINNING THE LEAGUE?????

i just don't get it..

we're doing ok, blooding youngsters, resting veterans for next week, getting 2 points albeit in a scrappy manner, the future's looking good, 3 trophies in 3 years, 3rd in the table, off field sucess as far as marketing (bigger turn over than wigan's) lottery growing every week, u 20's, u18's etc top of their leagues!
cheap bitter in the new corner!

so what's the effing problem... people have such short memories!

Lucky to get the win today IMO. Salford controlled the first half yet somehow went in 12-10 behind we had a good 20min spell in 2nd half when we posted some points and took control. Think we lacked ideas in attack at times but with only 1 real playmaker in the team what can you expect. Positive we had 8(?) Home grown players in the side and still came out with the win. Thought Currie Riley and Hill stood out today for me.
