We keep telling ourselves this don't we. The truth is our backs are pretty average and we lack pace across the side and we don't know what our best team is.

We play full backs on the wing, half backs at full back, half backs at Hooker, defensive second rowers at centre and today I read in the guardian we will be playing a non-ball playing forward at loose.

We've been unlucky with injuries, we started the season without 3 of our 4 best players in hill, ratchford and curry and Clark has had quite a lot of time out as well. That aside we've still been far too poop though that's for sure.

Our backline is paper thin but ratchford, atkins, Toby King and Lineham are all good in my opinion. I don't think too much of the rest though. Johnson could be good in time and I'm sure there are other youngsters. If penny was fit I would play him over Russel.

If the clubs ambition is not in question, should the players ambition be in question?

In what is a bang average league this year I can't help wondering why we are not not several points ahead of Wigan & Saints. They are not good this year,so far, but we are even more mediocre when it is evident that we have players who should be able to do better. Improving on the basics would give us a shot in the arm for a start.

I'm half expecting a reaction from Leeds and Wire on the back it....however we are a better side than Leeds.
If we win this tonight, even Phil Clarke will have to relent his Wire bashing.

Maybe in your rubber bubble , meanwhile back in the real world

Cast you mind back 2 month.
There was a real world back then too.

A few short years ago the club as a business filled in the corners to take more customers to witness the heroics of the Mighty Wire on the field ,with talk of completing the job in the near future. That ambition seems to have waned with falling gates & i am very surprised that the business side of the Warrington Wolves RLFC are not expressing concern & urgency as to why there is no longer a need for ground extensions with top hotel facilities. The ambition of the business people in the club should be at least to get an 18/20000 capacity stadium with fans queueing for tickets to make sure they can get in to watch their heroes.Has the drive of the business development side of the club dried up to the extent that they are not asking questions of the results ,coaching staff & team? Are they not bothered that once people start watching from home it is hard to get them back to the terraces ? Are they not bothered if tickets & season ticket sales fall off a cliff ?

People laughed it off at the time, but let's face it, Fitzpatrick's appointment to a role as high profile as CEO was just a blasé and complacent move. Just another job for the boys. The club hasn't really been the same off the filed in a business sense since Gatcliffe left his post a few years ago.

Go on then , I'll have a bite , tell us all player for player what makes you a better team ?

2 mths ago we were still playing gash + the wins since where we've scraped results have just been papering over the cracks.Salford could well embarrass this p$ss poor team which if they do I'll be gobsmacked if Smith is still in charge.Other coaches have been sacked for less.

......and then bottom of the league and pointless batter Leeds Rhinos.
