I said pretty much this in an earlier post. I’m not sure if people are choosing to ignore it or just don’t see it.

I don't agree with either of you.
Perhaps it's a mental thing with the Challenge Cup....but you don't forget how to ride a bike!

We shouldn't be playing like we have been the last couple of months with the players we have.

Someone gets it.
Yes I agree. And as I keep 'shooting my mouth off' about...is that we have the ability...we are better than any team in SL.
The only question to me...is why?
Why are we getting beaten by teams that aren't as strong as ourselves.
It's not cocksure....it's a bonified fact...when it mattered...we didn't just beat our nearest league rivals...we smashed them. So why...and for any one who want's to reply, don't be giving me that 'form' bollox as an excuse.

Last year Steve Price said he wanted a resilient team and, after a slow start, our defence and teamwork did improve and we thought progress was happening. Like everyone else have to agree our play for most of this year has been pretty boring lacking in breaks, no runners, poor discipline and more errors than the opposition.
Losing Ratchford and Austin for a sizeable slice is partially responsible but it highlights the shortcomings we have in the rest of the squad to dictate and control play.
Having said all that, when it comes to big games, we have largely been successful ie Wigan in the Cup, Wigan at Magic, Hull in the semi and, of course, Saints on the final which surprised most of us.
While again I am not expecting it to happen, but if Price really does pull of a Grand Final win from this position, it will be a remarkable feat. Not that it excuses a lack of commitment in too many games this year.
Wane was criticised for boring rugby during the season and quite a few heavy losses but came up with the goods when it mattered. We have obvious weaknesses in the team so I am hoping for another coaching ‘masterclass’...or more likely my glass is just half full.

So did we have a puncture between 74 and 09?

No...we just traded the Harry Quinn for a Ron Spencer.

You kind of ruined your post when you said that we, as supporters, shouldn’t have any demands or expectations.

I think we’ve got every right to have expectations given the investment in the playing side of the club over the years. Up there with the highest spenders year after year, yet many seem happy to accept second far too often.

Given the above and adding the fact that many of us have never witnessed a Championship winning Warrington side, I feel we have every right to demand success too.

Winning the cup aside, we’ve seriously lost our way since May and that is down to Steve Price and his players. The form, the performances, the style of play, simply haven’t been good enough given the wealth of riches at our disposal.

It would be great to believe that Price has a battle plan up his wizard's sleeve to get us to the GF but it isn't going to please the regular supporter who likes to see effort put in during the weekly rounds. Many of us want to be entertained , which is why we watch RL.

I bought a bike this Summer after 25 years of not having ridden one and I couldn’t ride it, couldn’t balance! I had to sit on it in my hallway and try and balance and then go out round the block when I felt comfortable to. I’ve been no further than two miles on it in one go and still feel a bit dodgy on it even a few weeks in.

I started following Warrington in 2010 and got my first season ticket in 2011. When walking into a busy derby game that season (I’ve got a feeling it was Wigan) there was a bloke in-front of me loudly complaining about all these ‘glory hunters’ and he preferred it when there were just 3000 ‘proper fans’ at Wilderspool. It set me thinking about what defines a fan and at what point I could consider myself one.

Over the last 9 years I’ve come to the conclusion that one fan shouldn’t be defining another fan’s support (so I ignored the guy who told me I wasn’t a fan because I sat in the North rather than standing in the South). If supporting the team for you is cheering them on at 40-0 down, fine. If it means calling for the head of a coach/player who isn’t producing, fine.

For me, I’m in the camp that thinks we should be ambitious. Following Warrington has given me a pride in my home town that i didn’t have before and nothing would make me prouder than seeing them lift the big prize.
