I've noticed a number of postings on multiple boards suggesting we are going to smash all and sundrie before us. I think some of us are getting a little ahead of ourselves and we need to take a step back.

How many times in the past have we slagged Saints and Wigan fans for being cocky as we didn't like it. Now it seems we are doing the same.

In Smiths latest interview he talks about humility in Winning and Losing. I think us as fans should also follow this and not be so cocky. We are setting oursleves up for a big bubble burst.

Yes we have started off pretty well and things are going good but i dont think we should get so ahead of ourselves as these fans will be ramming it back down our throats!

I'll second that. Nothing worse than arrogance. We all know we can be world beaters one week and dire the next. Hey, thats Warrington RLFC. Thats why we love it eh?

Agreed. Although you will be hard pushed to see a more gracious and humble post match interview following dishing out an absolute pasting than you saw from TS on Saturday. If Wire can continue to play and react with the dignity and class he gives out we won't go far wrong win lose or draw.

Message board bravado is irrelevant to the squad. The only people heading for a fall are the originators of the ridiculous posts.

True - until the over confidence of the fans spills onto the players. We've seen that many times before in Warrington, both during and pre-message board era.

Since the draw was made yesterday i've been cringing with some of our fans comments on the Bulls board, we all know what happened when a few cocky Wiganers were spouting off before there trip to Odsal and were left with egg on there face. We have two massive games coming up before the QF, starting friday at Leeds and then the Giants come to town, and will no doubt be looking to redeem themselves after Saturday.

I can't imagine that the people who write these, wire to beat the world threads are anything other than new' ish supporters, because I cant believe anyone like myself who have experienced the Wire rollercoaster over the past 10, 20,30 or so years would ever be foolish enough to write the crap that I have been reading this weekend, its nice to believe and I want success as much as the next fan, but one step at a time.

Che won't allow over confidence - regardless of what the fans say.
I do find it annoying and disrespectful to opposition teams to say that 'we'll smash tem by 50 et etc'
Having said that the quality of the crusaders game was attrocious IMO and i reckon maybe I could have put 50 past them! icon_lol.gif

A couple of people talking crap on the internet doesn't mean our whole fan base think it.

But on the flip side Wire haven't shown this sort of consistency in years!! Arrogance is a pet hate of mine but surely we can be quietly confident of all games we go into?

Take a leaf out of TS book and keep feet firmly on the ground we have some very tough fixtures coming up and it will test the team to its limit, we need luck on the injury front, but I do have more faith this year in the fringe players than prev years, and this year we have been able to pick when and when and were to play them unlike prev seasons when we had to throw several in at the deep end because of the injury crisis we went through for a couple of seasons. wont be taking any of the next three games lightly, we will have to be on our A game for all 3 icon_cool.gif

As a Leeds fan as you can imagine we have been getting plenty of stick this season. it's quite funny as the pies, your lot, even sanits are giving it some again which is a suprise to be honest. Even hudds up to this week have been at it! All saying how they are gonna be unstoppable and champions! I've had to laugh as only one team can win it so there are gonna be plenty of fans who look stupid come season end. as you will have already worked out if you are serious title contenders winning the cc is no consolation to not winning the big prize at OT! In 09 hudds season didn't fall apart until late august! there is a lot to unfold this season.

A few overenthusiastic 'kids' get ahead of themselves with the 'we're gonna destroy them' style quotes and all Wire fans get labelled cocky and arrogant. Just the same as a handful of 'fans' can't handle their ale and get aggresive and we're all labelled as 'scum'. Truth is that the vast majority of Wire fans are all too well aware that we are more than capable of imploding and being on the wrong end of a hiding to just about anyone.

I genuinely can't imagine Tony Smith directing his squad to rlfans or facebook for advice from the Gurus of Warrington.
