He wont be happy until he's had the last word, nor will he ever admit that he's wrong.

Didn't we all complain about Powell crying over his injuries?.....

Have we got any injuries at present?

What! When did he become coach at Warrington, I'd missed that announcement with all that went on in France.

Well, according to McNamara we were just milking it. Lying down and wasting time when suffering from nothing more than a ruptured testicle. Mard s!

What was Kenny Edwards doing to incite the crowd ? I missed the game and couldn’t see anything on the YouTube clips

Basically, as the play was stopped by Childs following the mass brawl on field, the wire players saw what was going on in the stand. Many of the Warrington players had family members in that side of the ground. The players attempted to walk over and gesture to the fans to ‘calm down’ and stop(this was including Catalan players as well), as the players walked over and concern grew Kenny Edwards just out of direct viewing of the Sky Camera’s waved his hands up and down inciting & shouting like a buffoon to carry and ‘keep going’. His own players including I think Remi Casty shoved Kenny Edwards away and told him to stop. I’ve seen video of evidence of this, that along with his housery around the ruck and kneeing players in the head, he ought to be ashamed of himself as a professional rugby league player.

He’s got previous for inciting people to fight at a rugby league game, surprise surprise, his track record in the NRL speaks for itself..

“In 2012 Edwards joined the Southport Tigers in the Gold Coast Rugby League competition. After acting as a trainer in one of the Tigers' under-17s matches, Edwards was accused of repeatedly inciting his team to fight their opponents. He was subsequently banned for the rest of the season, but had the charges downgraded on appeal and was allowed to play for Southport in the final series.”

How has Lineham been banned for moving off the mark? The disciplinary minutes mention him using the shoulder in the 65th minute, but watching it back there’s nothing of the sort in that incident. The pedant Child explains to Hill that the penalty was for moving off the mark instead of playing the ball where he should have. There’s nothing dirty about it, IMO. Was he banned because he's got ‘previous’ this year? I honestly don’t understand.

Bollock(s)!

Widnes v Toulouse!!

Chris Hill was a model player as regards discipline when he played for us at Leigh. It has obviously been coached into him at the Wire. So my question is which coach is responsible, as he is never in trouble with England either.

Good post.
He's a good captain but does give away daft penalties.
He doesn't call the plays on the pitch anyway.

I would probably say that Hill has slowly declined over the years since being given the captaincy, I actually think it burdens his abilities as a player. The amount of penalties he gives way now compared to 3-4 years has most probably increased (without actually checking the averages over a season). And far to often he gets involved with ‘dummy spits’ with referees when something goes against him and sometimes with opposition players. It certainly didn’t go on when he first arrived from Leigh, when he was a lot more no nonsense and he seemed to make a lot of yardage on the back of it.

Ps this isn’t a major dig at Hill, he’s still one of the first players I’d have down on my team sheet..

Agree with this, he moans too much and for me it puts him off his game. He would be much better just leading by example, just knuckling down and getting on with the game. He would be a great captain if he did that.

Exactly I think it’s an element ‘trying to hard’ at times with Hill and a lot of it boils down to outright frustration. Saturday nights game against Catalan, his behaviour at times was a prime example of that, although I do admit that was a pressure cooker scenario given catalans tactics/agenda and Childs ineptitude.

I am hopeful that Widdop is given the reigns of captaining the side next season as I think we will see more of the old Chris Hill back and it would enable Widdop to really stamp his authority on the side. I’m sure he would revel in leadership of the team & it would allow the likes of Austin, Clarke and Ratchford to follow on the back of it.
