True. "Let's all have a disco", and "we couldn't score in a brothel". Happy days

Did it? Not where we were stood it didn't!! You'd rather be beaten 80-0 by saints than beat London 40-38? I take it you're locked up again now

| It's all relative isnt it? Youd rather watch the 80-0 again than the 26-24 loss to leeds in the play off semi i bet. When the 80-0 got to 50 youd just stop caring, the way we let London back into that game tonight was criminal and bloody annoyed me. Im glad we won because had we not we'd be in serious trouble. Ill compromise....thats the worst Wire victory ive ever seen.

| In another 20 years time nobody will be referring to our struggle to beat London 40-38! In another 20 years time people especially saints fans will still be reminding us of 80-0

| I enjoyed the game....how?
Well I've accepted Wire are a poor team...not moaning about it....that is what we are, the league doesn't lie. So being that, it was all set up to be a close game...poor London were the moral victors...it ought to have been 48-42 with conv and the robbed penalty from Atkins.
Hull kr...Well I'm expecting a defeat against them...if we win it'll be a tremendous result.
The sooner you all start accepting we're shat, the sooner you'll stop getting acid reflux...not had a Rennie in weeks.

Not sure there will be any fans left in 20 years time if the officials at last nights game have anything to do with it, what an embarrassment.

| Had the ref not completely missed Ratchford's try we'd of had another 4 or 6 points and London wouldn't have scored 3 tries at the end. Swings and roundabouts.

| Also the Jack Hughes 'knock on' in the build up to Hiku's try that some people were crying about - if the ball had been in the in-goal area it would probably have been awarded as a try due to 'fingertip pressure' on the ball such is the inconsistency of the application of the rules

| Outcoached, out played for parts, out enthused by a bunch of part timers ..... bloomin marvellous. Can't wait for the next thrilling instalment.
Mucho plaudits to London for a terrific effort although that Dixon chap is a bit of a pillock and I don't know if his previous dubious behaviour in the game did him no favours following that idiotic tackle by Atkins in the dying seconds of the game

| fantastic game management from K Brown.....3 mins to go, deep in the opposition half, 8 points up....I know I'll do a banana kick into the middle of the pitch and they can score from it....Dixon made Lineham look like a traffic cone set in cement.

| It was a strange game. I thought Sammut was outstanding, and their last tackle kicks for touch were also very good. Even better though was their enthusiasm and willingness to run and work hard. Finally, London simply never gave up, even when they were 20 points adrift and considering they are virtually out of running for 4/5th, it was great display of team work and playing for the fans and coach.
In contrast, we lack that enthusiasm and willingness to run that teams like Cas and London seem to take for granted when they get onto the pitch. It's interesting to watch Gidley and the way he goes about his job. He is far too slow now and of course he is retiring at the end of the season, but still puts in 100% effort. We don't seem to have players (in general) that display the sort of professionalism that he does. Every game he plays seems to matter to him.
Our error count in the first half was far too high. I would have to watch the match again, but I think Morgan Smith had a shocker in defence and was probably responsible for two tries. And of course several other players chipped in with errors as well, even Hiku managed a poorly timed offload. Defence in general was very poor as you could have inferred from the scoreline, and the officiating wasn't great either - although the ref seemed to be fairly even handed with both sides when it came to his errors.
Everybody will probably see the game differently, but for me, London put on an excellent display and it would be disrespectful not to recognise the fact. Our problem I think lies mainly in the players attitude and approach to the match, which simply isn't professional enough. Add to that a weakness in certain positions and the need for more coached moves, and I think you would end up with the result that we saw on the night. In the background, I still think we have a coach that is moving on at the end of the season, and that doesn't help in providing the necessary leadership.

| Excellent post Offload. I know Gidley is pretty much knackered now but we are still a much better outfit with him on the pitch. When he went off we pretty much collapsed again and almost lost the game. You might say London pretty much played to their max and we certainly did not and have not for most of the season. We desperately need a dominant creative halfback. On paper the team is decent so in theory it is a tweak not necessarily a revolution that is required. I will always carry fond memories of the Smith years buy the time has come for a change in my view.
One last winge ...
Agree with your 'coached moves' sentiment. What has frustrated me most is the lack of ideas when in the opposing 20. I know when Smith had Briers and Monas you could just say "play what is front of you" but with this lot surely they should have a set of patterns to fall back on or at least use as a basis for a move but apart from the kick and hope we are absolutely clueless. What do they practice in training ??
When was the last time a commentator said of a Warrington try ........... well that move came off the training ground

We are. The type of people who are invited to these forums are the ones on Facebook saying that "Smith needs to be given time to build a team".
