Nothing 2 Laps around Vicky Park every day this week and a transfusion of 8 pints of primrose and blue blood cannot fix!

12 games in a Warrington shirt and everyone wants him hung, drawn and quartered. Some people have very shot memories, remember what happened with Matt King? I shall be bringing this thread back up at a later date, maybe when he scores 16 tries in the Grand Final and we take Bevan's statue down and replace him with Lineham. Cut him some slack, he will come good.

Keep the faith

I don't think anyone wants him 'hung, drawn and quartered' (well I don't at least).
I do think it's reasonable to question how well all our new signings are doing - including Tom.

He's the player who's impressed me with his try scoring - which is a big part of why we signed him - but he's got areas for improvement. The Saints match showed those.
Defensively - not so strong particularly given his size. Pushed off a couple of times and Hughes covered.
Concentration - my view is that he should have taken the kick off that went between him and Hughes.
Concentration - touching the ball as it went out from a Saints kick - he was only saved by his foot being in touch (and I doubt he planned that).

There are other things also but fixing the above is the priority. (All players have things to work on and they concentrate on their own 'priorities', so he's no different in that area.
The coaches will be working with him and I expect us to see improvements to his game through the year.
If he's got a rugby brain he'll learn and fix those issues.
Not all players learn though (Richie Barnett never improved his catching of the high ball for instance during his tine at Hull and here), but Agar in particular must be confident he can.

maybe when he scores 16 tries in the Grand Final and we take Bevan's statue down and replace him with Lineham

I think we would have to put a stronger plinth in

His metal ar*e would never fit there now that the NE corner is filled in.

Didn't we also lose at Hull through missing the goal kicks.

It seems to me that,over the years, our best performances & trophy wins have happened when our goal kickers have been consistent. Hesford, J Bevan, Hodgson & for the oldies Fraser & Gilfedder among other great kickers.

Evans in for Lineham?
Dropped?

Yes, disciplinary reasons.. its all in the team for this week thread.

out on the ale until 05.30 with Bailey the night we lost to saints.

Thanks MD.

we really missed him tonight.. terrible decision from Smith to remove him from the team.

SMITH OUT

I recall similar stuff about a certain henry faafili. He is primarily there to score and has been doing that. He has made a few errors and will learn from.them. Some ppl need to realise wingers are used differently nowadays!!

in what way is he different to Penny or Ormsby?

He's different in that penny weighs the same as one of his cheeks.
