I have decided to adopt my workplace motto “expect the worst but hope for the best” for the coming season.

Yeah Widdop needs a good year to actually entice an NRL club to sign him. So it could be a blessing for us, we've improved in the areas we needed to and in the interview KF did awhile ago, saying price needs to do better and he needs to improve our attack, clearly shows he's told price he needs to sort his poop out. I'm excited and have high hopes for this season and nothing anyone says can change that for me icon_smile.gif

SP couldn't sort our stale attack out during the latter half of 2019 despite his mantra 'we know what's wrong and know how to fix it'.
He couldn't. He didn't.
The CC games against Hull and Saints were 'one offs'.

The start of the following season promised so much with a really good 1st 2 games with more exciting footy, but then it was like 'oooh, I'm out of my comfort zone. Let's go back to what we did last year'.

I'd love to be positive but.....

The one thing I do want to see is Greg Inglis. That for me is the one positive.

Quote: sally cinnamon "It sounds a bit passive-aggressive from KF. Did he allow Widdop to look for other options or not? If Widdop is unhappy over here, and wanted to reunite with his young family in Aus, then its a difficult situation for him, now that that hasn't happened and he has to come back here. Surely it would have been better to say something like we'll be supporting Gareth in anyway we can to make his time in Warrington a success, and I know he'll handle this like the great professional he has been over his whole career.

Saying "we're expecting great things" kind of means, "we aren't expecting great things but we want to be able to be bitchy about it and criticise him if he doesn't dominate this season", and all this stuff about "put the rumour and innuendo behind him"....its not him that is starting the rumours is it.

I was hoping Widdop would find another club down under, it would have been better for him, and better for us too if he's a big earner because in my opinion he's not the player he was. But if he's back lets support him and make the best of it. As long as he gives his best, even if he's past his best.

KF seems unnecessarily snarky there.

But I'm expecting "great things" from Fitzpatrick this season, its time for him to put all the big talk behind him and deliver a Super League title, or else lets move on.'"

Great post and my point entirely.

Maybe if the same tone had been used towards his best mate (Price) sometime in the last 4 years we may have actually kicked on and not looked like an average team.

Or maybe winning involves a bit more than just bollocking the manager?

To win you need a decent manager/coach. The buck stops with the coach. All well and good slagging off Widdop but who signed the bloke?

It all seems so easy. You sack the manager, the head coach, the other coaches, half the players and hey ho ... you win the league. Like taking candy ...
Off we go again.

Where are you getting four years from? His first game in charge was February 2018.

Year before he took over we finished ninth, have we been better under Price?

I agree, and I would not have kept Price given the choice. However that is not what your previous post said. It basically said if Fitzpatrick had bollocked Price we would have done better.

So he took charge of the 2018, 2019, 2020 season. And this season will be his fourth, no?

You said the "last" four years but appearing to be counting a year that has yet to happen.

My bad. Just use what I said for the end of next season though as we’ll be saying the same thing don’t you worry.

I've said this for years (and this isn't aimed at LTS) we've got a bunch of fans, on here and especially on twitter that moan and complain about anything and everything, regardless of whats going on, Never talk up the good times and when things go crap as things can sometimes do, are the first and loudest to jump up and say "I TOLD YOU SO" even if we've had 4/5 years of relative success.


a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Packs Win Games Great Packs Make All Backs Look Class #onceawirealwaysawire:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_38352.jpg



I see nothing bad about Widdop’s game. I saw only a weak pack throughout much of 2020. We’ve had some of the greatest half’s in the world from Aus, their results flattered.
I can’t wait to see a left side of Widdop, off a heavy front row, surrounded by Currie, Inglis and Lineham. If that does put the jitters up you, cancel your subscription to view of Most Haunted.
