Neither glass half full or empty. Just a realist.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_49863.jpg



What's that noise
Shush everyone
That's it! It's the sound of the bottom of a barrel being scraped.

Let's all take our P&B tinted glasses off, and realise that Westwood's career has been on a downward spiral since 2013's GF defeat. For the next two years, he didn't let us down, but you knew he was passed it. Since the start of 2016 it's been like Only Fool's and Horses. Great for years, but now it's being flogged to death, and we should be left with our memories.

Yesterday's announcement is pathetic. I'm reminded of my first season of watching Wire in 79/80. A stocky figure warming up on the sideline as a sub. The crowd getting excited about a legend coming on the pitch. I watched with anticipation, and was a bet let down to see a shuffling Mike Nicolas just play AWFUL rugby. Shame really. Watching a club hero, merely going through the motions.

I've just heard that John Bevan has gone to his shed, to throw out all his old paint tins, and he's just caught sight of his boots. A glint appeared in his eye. Maybe we should get the near 70 year old to "do a job for us". Can't be any worse than Matty Russell

It's fair to say that a certain amount of sentiment probably exists in The decision. So please enlighten me who else you would have signed instead?

Nobody has a clue who they'd sign instead. Maybe some "top" overseas player that puts in a massive shift like Roy Asotasi. Can't wait. Bennie is past it. But he gives 110% which is more than you can say about some players these lot are happy to keep instead.

On a reduced contract, if that's what it is, I'm happy to see him stay. I don't expect to see him every game, but used in rotation and for some of the niggly games, he is more than worth another year. Still competent and always gives it everything. I wish everyone would put in a shift like Benny. We wouldn't be in this mess if they did.

As changed his mind and signed a 3 year deal with Melbourne Storm.

Sarcasm with a lack of substance in response to a point made. Pretty much sums you dullards up. Who are we replacing Westwood with then? Lets have some legitimate ideas. I await the next sarcastic remark with gusto.

Precisely the situation with Tony Smith, but the happy clappers won't have a word of it. How many more chances do we give? I like Smith and I'm grateful for what he's achieved for us but surely it's time to redecorate? We're still living in 2010.

Out of interest, who are you arguing with? Who do you think these 'happy clappers' are who think that Smith should continue?

Take a look at the Warrington Wolves Facebook Group for the misguided souls.
