I'd honestly have Price back on Monday.

God no, I would rather just stop watching rugby league, out of sight out of mind.

I'm not sure Powell is the right man, our kick chase and line speed have been awful all year, these are basics, but they're fundamental within successful sides if he can't instill basics then that's a worry, dropping Dean who has been our best half this season was a massive error as well.

BUT, don't forget how boring and poor we were under price, I would say that steve Price is the worst coach I've ever seen including plange etc. Price had a full salary cap and a lot of good players at the peak and he wasted the opportunity. The rugby we played was appalling, if we went a score down, we lost, the toothless attack is a hangover from price but I also don't understand why Powell can't change it?

Thursday will be embarrassing and painful. Not sure we have reached rock bottom yet.

Yes, it was awful to watch under Price other than two glorious games against St Helens and we were dreadful in knock out games after his first year, but what was hiis overall win percentage? We certainly won a lot more than we lost.

Note, I am not suggesting for a moment that he should still be here.

My post was over-emotional but I can't identify a single area of improvement. The only sources of any optimism are Wrench and Thewlis, and I don't think Powell can take much credit for them.

I think individually a lot of players are doing alright but there isnt a team there at all, it's all completely disjointed (like it was under price in all honesty). There are too many 1 man attacking moves and that just shouldn't be happening.

We need some big changes in personelle, we will have plenty of cap, squad and overseas quota space at the end of the year but I really don't fancy our chances of recruiting well to replace what will be leaving given KFP is involved in that process.

Thought Thewliss, Wrench and Ashton did well. Showed how raw they were thiugh, after making a great break didn't then know what to do. Who was supposed to be leading the team around the pitch, who was setting up plays. Looked very disorganised, which meant a decent effort brought little result.

This is the problem, we have no identity. We have no hard men, we have no metre makers we have no leaders, we have no defence, we have no controlling half backs and we seem to have no plan to make the best of what we’ve got. The only thing we have is the youngsters being very good - take a bow Thewlis, Longstaff and Wrench and for crying out loud build a team around them. I was up for giving Powell 2 seasons but IMO he has until the end of this one because this is really REALLY poor

I can’t begin to quantify the point of Oliver Holmes. It’s like he’s here for a holiday. He was pretty handy at Cas. Never have I been so wrong about a player as I have him. He’s not even bang average.

Don't worry guys widdop will be back Thursday ratchford at full back because of injury to to thewlis..and we LL get a good spanking..just hope Liam six again Moore ain't ref..

I've seen a pile of Lego collapse slower than Wire in the last 10 minutes. Are Warrington Wolves the Man United of RL ? Not looking good I'm afraid.

Completely agree. Don't underestimate what counts as a holiday if you're from Cas though.

Bang average are words we can use for quite a few of these players at the moment but I’ve said it on many occasions our recruitment is nothing short of shocking.Thurs could be a new low.

The Obvious
Physically we have go ourselves further & further behind other clubs. It is very painful to watch. Even our youngsters (who are looking relatively lively) are all on the less physical side. At the end of our sets we kicked for distance from well inside our own territory. Catalans were kicking from at least our half-way. Saints are even more physical than Cats. The odd bit of tinkering with this side is unlikely to make much difference against the big boys. Oh hell doom & gloom or what? Come on cheer up Smiffy!

It's the darkest before dawn. The nadir will be Saints. I will watch from behind the sofa.
