| Quote fez1="fez1"I must apologize to the Mods for my recent posts - every one containing at least one expletive - (or lots of .... ).
I've not been on here since Friday night and have seriously thought of giving up supporting the Wire and RL for good.
I was / am totally pig-sick.
I have been supporting Warrington since the early 1970's and I honestly cannot think of any time I've been as hacked off as I am / was after Friday.
I've seen them lose 80 - 0 at Stains
I've seen us lose with seconds to go against Stains
I saw us lose to the Joe Lydon 'wonder drop goal' in the 80's
I saw us lose to Wigan in CC final in the mid 90's and in the Regal Trophy that decade too.
I've seen us lose away at Hunslet in the 80's.
I've seen us get stuffed by Bradford and Leeds.
Even losing the 2 GF's was not as bad.
This list goes on.
In all of the above (except Hunslet!) we were never really the 'class' side or something conspired against us (particularly the goons injuring Monas and Ratch in the 2nd GF).
But I have honestly never taken defeat like that on Friday.
Totally livid. It's beyong 'upsetting'.
My long suffering wife was totally understanding though - that's the one saving grace.
Nor sure where I go from here.
I've decided not to make the 300 mile round trip to Hull on Friday and have still yet to decide whether to watch on tv.
Can't even persuade myself to see how things are going on the club web site or the Warrington Guardian.
Why, why, why ?

| Quote Psychedelic Casual="Psychedelic Casual"I'm absolutely alright with it now, in fact, it could be a blessing in disguise. Whether that be in the short term in regards to the Play-off semi final and Grand Final (if we get there) as they are the two most important games of the season where we might have gained a new found realisation and thus determination going into those games; or longer term with regards to the attitude and application of certain players or even the coach where the top brass have seen enough with regards to some of them or him, after last Friday.
In the grand scheme of things I thought that thread we had last week about the 'if Carlsberg did rugby league then beating Wigan at home to win the League Leaders Shield would be it' was a bit small-time in all honesty as we have another go at it next week anyway and the bigger games are still to come in October. Plus in no way did last Friday come anywhere near the disappointment of the 2013 Grand Final. I've still not got over that if I'm honest, whereas I was over Friday night by Saturday afternoon.'"
Please tell me, how long have you been involved in middle management.
I don't think I've ever read a bigger load of corporate BULL5H1T in my entire life.
Please tell me you have your tongue firmly in your cheek. I can't honestly tell, as I have a belly full of Wainwright's in me, and I need my bed.
Night, night folks |

Same goes for this week. If we win at Hull but don't lift the Super League trophy I will not particularly care a jot that we won the league ladder.
What last Friday could have done, like I say, is hit home with the board and made them think on about a few players/coaches/the coach. That could end up being a good thing. |

Monday, April 20th, 1981 will always be in my memory. All we needed was to beat Leigh & we would be the League winners.
Alas things fell apart & we lost to a Des Drummond try

Psych,
The thing about the GF defeat was that outside influences (dirty tackling by the goons was tolerated by the officials) turned the match.
Friday was totally down to us.
That's what's really got to me. We turned victory to defeat. Not Wigan.

Yes - afraid so, but more annoyed with our performance.

One game though. Why are we throwing in the towel, over reacting and giving up on the team because of one game? |

But it's not one game, is it. As I've alluded to, many times this week, we have a habit of bottling it/throwing away huge leads, not only this season, but in our recent past, too.
We look like we have no answer, when somone has the temerity to eat into a big lead.

If we had of won last Friday then this thread wouldn't exist. This thread, especially the opening post is with reference to last weeks Wigan game, is it not?
A point off finishing top and a game away from the Grand Final, it's hardly the end of the world is it? We've got issues I agree, but we've improved massively on the last two seasons and things have been worse, much worse, regardless of how we all felt last Friday.
Yes, it may well end up being the same old story and we fluff our lines once again. We'll probably get turned over tomorrow and the odds are against us for when we go to Wigan, but how about we get behind the boys and give them our support for another couple of games at least?

You could well be right the thread may not have existed had we won, but we didn't win and not only that we threw away victory after being in a commanding position and it's happened numerous times and it's actually becoming a habit.. Last Friday, The Challenge cup final, Cas at the magic weekend.. Those are just from this season off the top of my head...
You have to understand that stuff like that really grates on people and for a lot of Wire fans it felt like the last straw..
You know that every Wire fan will be right behind the boys tomorrow night , the playoffs and beyond.. But if things aren't right we are going to discuss it on here.. |

One game - Come off it? Look at the facts.
Last 3 league games
Wigan - Lost 2nd half 12-21
Widnes - Lost 2nd half 10-12
Catalans - Lost 2nd half 8-22
More tellingly the recent big games. (Ive now added Magic 2016)
CCFinal 2016 - Lost 2nd half 6-12, ahead at HT, lost game
Magic 2016 - Lost 2nd half 0-22, ahead at HT, lost game
SL SF 2014 - Drew 2nd half, lost game.
SL GF 2013 - Lost 2nd half 0-24, ahead at HT, lost game
SL GF 2012 - Lost 2nd half 4-12, ahead at HT, lost game
SL SF 2011 - Lost 2nd half 12-20, ahead at HT, lost game
The omens are clearly not good if we are not unassailably ahead by half time.
Quote DAG="DAG"We've got issues I agree'"
Are these them? Our inability to win big games when we are ahead at HT? The Wigan game rubbed salt into the wound as they were down to 12 men for 20 mins. The backlash is justified. |
