You're kidding right? We have lost two games, that's it. We don't need to prove ourselves against Wigan and St H in rounds 9 and 10. We need to beat them in September/October.

Fairly hilarious thread. And yes I know I am guilty of histrionics on here at times.

Well, much as I rate Thewlis I think the full-back debate is over.

Spot on, thought that was his best game for a while. Exactly what we needed that second half

The only top 6 team we’ve lost against is Wigan. And by 6 points in the rain, understrength and playing poorly.

I’m not quite sure what we’re expecting of this season. Going the whole hog unbeaten whilst winning the treble and the world club challenge. That would have been a pretty good turnaround after last year. Personally I’ll settle for 4 points clear at the top half way through the season. Guess I’m a happy clapper

But that makes it fun, just some people are a bit touchy.

Maybe. What happens if Dufty has a St Helens type nightmare again?

Back to the bench again until he earns the shirt back, it must have had the desired effect as he changed the game tonight to earn the staring bernth back (which he has for me). We can't allow complacency to creep in, players need to play for their starting shirt IMO. Thewlis was alright at FB, I do think he should be first choice wing for the time being. Russell has done ok, he's been really useful cover and is doing what he needs to do from a squad perspective, keeping the first choice back 3 honest by giving us a viable rotation option.

I didn't fancy us for this game so I am pleasantly suprised. You have to enjoy being 4 pts top of the league and Wigan being stuffed at home.

What happens next week if we lose to Catalans, would you sack him? If he wins next week and loses the next one, would you sack him? If we win the Cats game, then win the next, then lose the first half of the 3rd game, would you sack him at half time?

After sacking him at this point, do we give another coach half a season, ie if they don't win the GF then we get another coach? We've got good players so half a season is long enough. Shall we rinse and repeat with an incoming coach every half season until we win the GF?

I'm enjoying being 4pts clear at the top..wonder how many teams would swap with us,..I know a certain club nearby would

Yeh if it’s ok with you ofc, only I thought I could make my own opinions and not need your permission.

I'm asking your opinion?

It would certainly have been the most Warrington thing ever if, having lost the game but still being two points clear at the top, we had sacked Powell as suggested.
