eer nope, but when you bet a lot on rl, you cannot afford to be blinkered

I'm not blinkered, betting Cats -2 or scratch today looks like a great bet on paper considering the past few weeks, fair play if you took it up.

Doesn't mean all your points were valid though.

In hindsight that was stealing money but foolishly i honestly thought we might just nick it.A tipster i am not

Spot on post...

What are your thoughts then ?

Is this the Mark M blind faith " we will win trophies under Cullen " rallying call redux ?

Here's a thing for you to remember. You're entitled to an opinion, but don't come shouting the odds especially when your chatting out your backside. Yeah we're playing poor at the moment. The team (the 17 on the field, not just Richard Myler) are making errors, poor defensive reads, falling off tackles, dropping the ball, poor passes, etc. and because of that lacking a bit of confidence. Individual errors at the end of the day. This can be, and I'm confident it will be, corrected come the business end. You can't play at 100% every week.

Win as a team, lose as a team. They all still get my backing (Still have a pet hate with Higham but I will concede he's been good for us this year).

IN SMITH WE TRUST

it's only 6 months (approx) since Wire were the best team in the country, thrashing most teams.
Not a crisis yet, just surprising. Can't remember the last time you got 'well beat'.

You seem to forget conceding 30 points at home to Wakefield in mid-March.

Apart from not being able to tackle,have any set moves,not able to pass,and basically no idea how to break a defence down, We are hot!!!!!

A few points i'd liketo make:

We've been poor overall so far this season. But we've had the toughest run of fixtures I've ever seen for the start of the season. We've player Hull Huddersfield Bradford Leeds Wigan and Catalan away from home already.
I think we're two points better off than we were at this point last season too.

If i were Tony I'd have the whole club stay out there another day and give the lads a day to have a stroll on the beach and a couple of glasses of wine with a meal on the front - take their mind off it all; it's been a tough start and we've been far from fully fit.

There's two weeks without a SL game. I'd get the lads back in on Wednesday and say "okay boys, the season starts here".

Everything will be okay!

Still over-playing in defence and attack, going for big hits giving penalties away or losing defensive structure or trying to score on every set rather than building pressure. It's giving other teams too easy a ride, and they know it. Suprisingly it's the 'old heads' that are the worst cuplrits at the mo. As the title of the thread says 'great test for Tony'.

I think the break from SL this coming week will give the coaches and players a bit of time away from the "crisis" at the club. The one major difference I see between this season and last is how we're starting games - last season we blew teams away, this season we're getting behind by a good few tries at the start of every game.

Not overly worried at the moment as good players don't become bad overnight, and a few tweeks from the coaches here and there will hopefully put things on track again. I'm not adverse to a few of those tweeks being in the form of young players coming into the team. Everyone knows the backbone of the Wire side is ageing and new players are going to have to come in at some point.
