53838_1362327793.jpg And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

| Quote: Wolf Hall "We don't just lose a game, we lose lots of games, badly. That's what is right !
Today at last we win and we win well, that is probably why people are positive with relief.'"
We don't get beaten heavily though, that's the point of Smiffy's post, we get beaten through a lack of confidence or an inability to see off sides who we get the better of at points in a game.
Today, admittedly against a weakened Catalans, we took control of a game and managed to maintain our standards, while keeping the opposition confined to panic rugby.
No doubt we will continue to throw in performances that are nowhere near this one, but if between now and season's end, we can show flashes like today, then I'm happy to let the Powell project continue.
P.S.. Just as a history lesson, go and ask the older posters how the 85/86 season unfolded and how underwhelming it was until the last 2 months of the season....

No way a MotM from us. Just a brilliant team performance. A good[i 2 fingers[/i from Dean to Powell, as to what he (Dean) can do.
No resting on your laurels now, Wire. Onwards and upwards.
As an aside

TURD.'"
A good two fingers up to Powell you say. Perhaps there was a reason behind the scenes why he wasn't promoted as quickly as you'd have liked.
It be hard for you Tosh, to give credit to Powell, but credit where credit's due. A long way to go but definite signs of the quality coach he is.
I don't think anyone will be giving Powell two fingers after that performance.
Long way to go as I say, but keep the faith.

We don't get beaten heavily? Look at the results this season, we have been tonked on many a occasion.
Thanks for the suggestion of a history lesson...I have supported Warrington since 1958, so if you want a history lesson I would be delighted to help.

| Well, watching Longstaff at Hull today shows we can’t afford to lose him permanently. Hope he’s back after this month.

Yes, so you will be aware that, even during supposedly successful seasons, we never exactly set the world alight for the good majority of them??....

| Williams was the man of the match with Nicholson a close second for me. Matty is a great signing for you guys, he will go on to play at the top level.

Garbage innit.
Lewis just monstered him there, made him look daft for his two other tries

| Couldn’t watch the game today but wondered whether Jason Clark was an upgrade on Matt Davis today at 13.

I did post a little early maybe. Still, he’s young and developing and I’m sure he’ll be worth the investment.

I thought Clark was great today. Didn’t look like the Price version, - graft and nothing else. He seemed quite lively. Excellent in the build up to Williams’ try. Very un-Clark-like.

OR, maybe Powell saw that the player wasnt responding to his advice.. so went down another route?
coach publicly calls out player... player plays well.
Some players need that.. some dont... what apperared to most to be over the top criticism of 'one of our own'.. may turn out to be just what he needed to hear.
