| Quote: Barbed Wire "Sims gets a bad rap on here, but when he wasn’t on the field the difference between him and his replacement was astonishing. He may not have been a stream train, but he was a good defender, good communicator and carried the ball up often finding quick play the balls.
Sometimes the beauty is in the detail. If you look at Mikaele/Sita for example, highlight reels are great, skittling players at will, but they caused so many problems for the defenders around them because they had no idea of how to get the basics right.
No world beater, probably didn’t get as much out of him what we would have liked, but he was a good player for us. Minor addition, his engagement with the fans, especially the younger fans, was a huge success for the club, even the BBC microphone thing and the Question of Sport appearances etc got the club into the media spotlight. Not that any of that should add value as a prop, but the club as a business should have acknowledged that.
I suspect that if he came from Batley to Warrington on the same money, he would be well liked and fondly remembered. But as he was an import with a decent reputation, we hold him against that.'"
Sims was pants for 2 seasons….however credit where due, he showed up in his final season. |

We played that many games in that season (51 league and cup), that it felt like it continued into 1975.

Yes that is correct, and that led to the “Five Trophies” in the 74 Calendar Year achievement, the fifth of which being the Locker Cup at the start of the 74/75 season, |

We won the Locker Cup in the 73/74 season as well. 74/75 had nothing to do with the 5 trophies season.

I agree with you, but I’m referencing the “Five Trophies Year” , not the ‘Five Trophies Season’.
I never mentioned the “Five Trophies Season”, you introduced that. |

Nobody ever called it the 5 trophy year. Any trophy won after June 1974 had absolutely nothing to do with the winning of the previous season. I cannot explain it any simpler. Sorry.
Also Dave Wright didn't play for Warrington in the 74/75 season, he had returned to Australia.

I don’t think you knew of the “Five Trophies Year”
You mistakenly assumed I had referenced the Five Trophies Season”,
My point was to suggest Dave Wright as worthy of inclusion in the best overseas team, by indicating the Five trophies Year achievement in the year he played 74.
You then started arguing about the Five Trophies Season, which I never mentioned
Now I cannot make it much simpler for you but over to you |

Well thanks for butting into mine and Weavers conversation with your usual trivial and childish comments, but I’m disappointed in you that you couldn’t phrase it as a question. 
And it’s not very pleasant of you to try to initiate a pile-on with your little clique on here, so have to report your post to admin.
However at least you are better informed now of Warrington achievements, not surprised you were ignorant of it. |

I must have dreamt having been present during the season/year/12months/52weeks. As for butting in, I thought you were posting on a forum…
