Yeah it seems like a bit of a stretch

I think the recruitment team at the club need a massive kick up the booty.
There was the bright idea of Luther Burrell that didn't work ,Big Tom who went back home & the Aussie before him who wouldn't stay & now we have forwards on the books who are walking liabilities.
Even in the days of the sainted Tony Smith we were signing projects & liabilities. Its about time the club employed a proper ,knowledgeable scout to suss out the talent that we need.

Someone like Peter Farrell would be a good shout. Very knowledgeable. A proper scout.

Isn`t he already employed by Wire as a scout?

I believe he was headhunted by a club which has no track record of either bringing through young talent or of success.

This season is fast turning into an absolute poop show.

Warrington need to dip into their pockets and sign replacements for Mikaele and McGuire and quick.

The pack is weak. Bullock and Dudson are not up to standard. Philbin is made of biscuit and Kasiano blows hot and cold. The only prop earning his corn is Vaughan.

Come on Warrington pull yer fingers out!

How would you describe the seasons that the likes of Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds, Cas & Wakefield are having, if you think we are having a bad one?..

Or Wigan come to that

I don't think you'll find many Warrington fans, or posters on this board that disagree with your sentiment of wanting action from the club. But playing devils advocate, who do you think is available half way through the season (not under contract), and of the quality required, that you think the club should be 'pulling there fingers out' to sign ?

Are we??... I suppose it depends how you want to portray it?

We've won 3 from our last 5, that's not too shabby... won 11 of our last 15, that's not too bad either.

Performances have been pretty consistent to be honest, in that we haven't produced a full 80 minute display all season, so to say there is a downward trajectory there is probably an exaggeration, the only difference now is that sides are more clued up on how to deal with us - Stick with us and stay competitive and you will likely get a good 20 or 30 minute spell where, if you take your chances, then you will damage us on the scoreboard.

We are basically no different to all the other sides in the league, in that we are totally unpredictable. We just happened to get off to an unexpected flyer and that's ramped up expectations to unrealistic levels.

At least we should be safe from relegation this year .

On the whole I take your point and agree with you that top-drawer signings at this stage of the season seem unrealistic. However, less flashy deals can still be done, to bolster the squad. For example, Leigh managed to sign Frankie Halton from Hull KR a few weeks ago. I'm not saying Halton is a world-beater, obviously, and the fact that he's a Leigh lad was a big factor in that move, but he's a good, solid player and a genuine second row, who would have given us decent cover in that position.

I completely agree with this ... The number of times that both the club and the fans get sucked into the need for the "superstar" signing when in fact we have got the best value from the lesser known arrival... Right now the club needs to sign workers and not names

The hard fact is that most if not all imports are here for another two years pay. Even the Wigan starlets can't get gigs over in Oz but they still look like superstars compared to some of our donkeys.
The league is in need off a monumental injection of money to enable youth systems to bring talent through from schools being encouraged to play rugby. Instead ,we have a stagnating pool of recycled older players who can't go on forever.
A pipe dream ,i know, when even Union with its blue chip sponsors isn't all rosy in the garden. Massive investment & government encouragement is needed for RL to survive.
