| The signing of both Sita and Bmm was met with positivity due to us signing two big runners with the ability knock others into next week when required. Have i missed these attributes over the past 23 rounds? I recall one big run from Sita, one from Bmm. Why do we use these guys from standing starts instead of on the run, that's frustrating and why (in my opinion) they look lazy and uninterested.

I don’t think he’s been poor necessarily, i think he’s been decent. I just don’t think his form has been as good as his 2017 dream team form. Probably due in part to Salford building their attack around him more than we do.

Smith picked Russell week in week out... Was that good enough for you? Because he was absolute cack.

I understand both sides to this and the views of those who have never put a pair of boots on should be listened to. I reckon though those who have played a bit to tend to have a bit more sympathy. (Garry Schofield not included)
If you've played the game you've played pretty crap yourself ... interlaced with the (very) odd satisfying display.

| It would be a quiet forum if only ex-players could comment. I've not played since school but feel that on a Warrington Wolves forum it is reasonable to discuss players performance.
If you don't like reading others opinions that you disagree with or find upsetting then perhaps the forum isn't for you. It's easier to take yourself away from the forum rather than trying to mandate that every poster adopts a "I shall not criticise" standpoint.
A good example was that I have never coached a Pro-RL side but I knew when Tony Smith had had his chips. I also knew that Russell and Rhys Evans were not the standard required. Luckily Price agreed.

| You don't need to be a weatherman to know it's raining but sometimes the comments on this forum are a bit extreme.

| We are all different but we all mean well ... I suppose?
Anyway ... I'm looking forward to the "RLFANS.COM Wolves" end of season get together. With extensive buffet and disco starting at 7.30 pm ending with a bit of 90's Disco frenzy then a slowy at about 9.05 ... and then off home. Perfect night.
I bet "Rubber" will be there ... as he goes where the music takes him!

I’m not complaining so much about discussing players performances as the way certain players get singled out for negative comments, when no one knows if the player is carrying an injury or playing to the coach’s instructions and TBH this is why I don’t tend to post on the forum and probably go back to not doing so

Despite how it seems this is a fairly broad church, you will soon recognise which camp (if any) particular posters are in. Keep the faith!

| I think BMM had an interrupted close season and he certainly looks to me like he needs to lose a bit of weight and gain some stamina, but he has shown enough in small doses to suggest he can come good.
Akeoula though is damaged goods for me. I'm pretty sure he isn't being told to take one drive every 15 mins, be sloppy and slow at the PTB, turn your back on defenders and give away penalties.
If YOU worked with a colleague who coasted his way through the day, did less than the bare minimum, continually made the same mistakes and took long breaks, whilst you grafted like a lunatic every day in the same job for comparable pay, would YOU be happy?
That's how Cooper must feel when Akoula ambles off after a hectic 20 minute spell.

He's told his sister to go home, as she looked more threatening in training. He's also banned his mother-in-law from coming, too

| I think it's time to close this thread as it's all getting too personal and has very little to do with rugby.
