| Cas did the same to us in the league game a couple of weeks ago with quite a few bodies missing. The only difference was we managed to pull the game out of the fire in the second half.
I think they might have come with a plan to win today.

Poor performance by us. Imaginative performance from Cas.'"
Those poor performances in big matches are becoming quite the regular occurance with this side....

Widdop trying but looks surrounded by a poor poor team.
And why is it we cannot address the right side garbage defence? I said previously we need Hughes at right centre all season.'"
Hughes was the worst player on the field,............and that took some doing today! Hopefully Powell realises(as Wigan and Huddersfield did)that he's a plodder(and that's being generous!)

If Powell used today as a benchmark, not many would get into the 2021/22 squad but I hope he'll be moving a few on. Hughes, Charnley, Austin, Davis, and Akuola should all be surplus to requirements.
However, I wouldn't blame him if he was having second thoughts at working with that bunch of.pretenders.

| I understand the Police are looking for a number of men from Warrington. They are accused of impersonating rugby players and receiving money under false pretences.

I don't trust Price to get us either of the other two.
I'd change him now, we're bottlers under him.'"
It's not just under Price that you've been Big game bottlers tho is it?
Since Tony Smith arrived in 2009 he was relatively successful as he won 3 Challenge cup finals, 2 League leaders shields but lost 2 Grand Finals with probably the best squad that Wolves have had in SL
You lost out to the Rhinos in the 2012 Grand Final when they limped into the final play off position of 5th but beat you in the Grand Final.
In the 2013 Grand Final Wolves were 14 points up against Wigan but still managed to lose by 14 points
Now that can be called being bottlers, there's something that has been clearly wrong within the culture at the club for quite some time
I can actually see Powell coming in tho and actually delivering a Grand Final win for you guys
So perhaps 2022 will finally be your year

| The fact that Hughes is our captain sums us up under price, an average player who even struggles to do the basics right. Charnley needs to go and if we lost Clark but got mcshane I'd be happy, walker was more lively when on. Philbin needs a rocket as well and Davis isn't good enough.

We have no divine right to win trophies, its the manner of our failures that hurt. Under price its simply awful the team seemed to give up at 14 down and that's simply n t gold enough. Time and time again if you get 8 points ahead of this regimes wire side we just fold.

Davis is a really good player but he isn't big enough, if he wants a serious career he should change to interchange hooker IMO.

I like hill, but the lad is a serial loser and unfortunately it’s seeped right through the squad.

| Fair play to Cas.
They thoroughly deserved the win.
Powell through shapes at us that I'd never seen before and we couldn't handle it - we didn't know how to handle it.
His team executed the plan well with minimal handling mistakes.
They beat us in the middle (unusual for us) and on the edges (right edge in particular).
Many posts are critical of individual players, but that (in many cases) is wrong and misses the point.
We were 2nd best all over the park and after we went 18-0 down there was no way I couldn't see us getting back - even if we did score because we couldn't defend our line.
Price may have won us trophies but for most of his tenure we've watched really poor footy. (Maybe we were spoilt by the TS tenure).
The occasional flashes of great play - like Hull and Saints in the cup - were undermined by a total lack of ideas in attack from an expensively assembled team underperforming at an individual and collective level.
And this is where we are now after the Cas match..... again.
Price hasn't been and isn't the coach to turn it round.
I just wish I'd wake up in the morning and it would be 2022.
