After 7 games with 4 wins and 3 loses, what do we all think.
Not to paper over the cracks,but we have lost 3 games against the best 3 teams in the league and beat everyone else playing s**t.
We can only get better as time goes on and we start to Gel, so are things as bad as we are saying??

Im very worried that our passing and kicking is still shockingly bad..

The HB combination still needs time to gel. From what I saw against Huddersfield, the way we passed the ball, it looks like we may be finally starting to click. Myler seemed to have himself a good game, glad that Matty Russell is starting from FB now, it's just a question of who is the best pairing between Myler, Ratchford & O'Brien.

There is still a long way to go yet. Remember what everybody says; after 27 friendlies, the season starts in September.

The lucrative part of the season starts at East Hull.

Points for is poor for us but then you look at points conceded and in context it's not that bad with the exception of the Saints game in which we conceded 6 tries.

Huddersfield 2 tries
Salford 3 tries
Wigan 2 tries
Hull 3 tries
London 3 tries
Leeds 3 tries.

So if we can get to 20 points a game we have the defence to see it out

Lucrative? Everyone knows, that despite the Challenge Cup having the history, the competition everyone wants to win is the Grand Final. You're classed as Champions, you get to play the NRL winners.

I'm sorry to say, the Challenge Cup seems to be dying on it's backside. Poor crowds, Sky not interested in televising any games desipte having the rights to do so, amateurish coverage by the BBC (mainly camera work and commentary)

I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 cup wins, it's a fantastic weekend away, but I want us to win the Grand Final now, that's it. Another cup win would be a nice bonus, but the Grand Final is the big one.

On reflection we have had a horrendous start in terms of who we have had to play, we will get better once the partnerships start to gel and I have to say the second half against Hudds we did look so much better.

The challenge cup is only lucrative if you're
a) Lower league v SL (for the lower league club)
b) In the final

And even if you are in the final and win, your only reward is the trophy and a cash bonus probably. Nothing else.

Why do people always say things like this. Things can (and quite often do) get worse.

Doom

Edit: This is a general point about everything, not Warrington's season.

"Doomed, were all doomed!"

hasnt it always been that way

It's nothing to do with winning.
It's about reaching the CC final and making between £1m-£2m in merchandising.

I still have major reservations about the Myler-Ratchford axis but I think the time has probably come to stop experimenting and try and let things settle down and see where we are in a few weeks.

The next three league games are games we really, really should be winning and we have Wood & Harrison due back anytime, so with the exception of those two I'd go with the 17 that were on view at Huddersfield and try and establish some consistency and confidence, for better or worse.

Looking at the match "highlights" it seems that we have finally started score points and not by depending on kicks. This has got to be a big step forward in our improvement
