Would only have Wild back of that lot. Why are people acting like it's the end of the world because we lost in the semi final of the challenge cup against a class side? People might claim Warrington aren't a class side but IMO they've been a sleeping giant for a long time. Now they have a quality coach it's all falling into place for them, they'll be tough to beat for any team at the moment.

All that the semi's have taught/reminded us is:

a - Our pack isn't good enough, we need a new prop and to sort out Paleaaesina's defence, probably by turning some fat into muscle. I'd say we need to sort out Fielden's attack but I think he's beyond help. Drop him to the academy and see if he stands out there even.

b - Noble isn't that great a coach, whether better is available I don't know.

A good post until your last statement about a 'great style of play'.

They are actually quite dull to watch....very structured, very disciplined, little flair....(saying that the first try of the second half was a fantastic pre-set move... ).

It is because of this dullness that they are acheving so much success...A similar thing appears to be happening with my side, Warrington....For years we had Paul Cullen attempting to turn us into the Kevin Keegan-era Newcastle Utd of Super League...A 'You score 40, we'll score 41' mentality...Eventually, this naiveity got found and Cullen got sent on his way to his rightful home (The National League).

Now we have finally found a coach who realises the importance of discipline and structure, and with it results have improved, even if entertainment is sometimes lacking on what we were used to.

Just remember back to your successful sides of the late 80's, early 90's and you will realise that, yes you did have some great individuals, but importantly they played to a well thought out plan from some great coches of that era.

was used as a scapegoat for someone elses error.

No he wasn't!

Looks a better starting 13 to me than our current.

Nearly split my sides laughing at that one! Please don't, I've already had enough excitement for today!!

Hmm, good performance today but still not convinced by Brown. Still not even mentioned as a possibility for the English test side.

Having said that, felt very pleased today for all the ex Wigan boys and will be cheering them on in the final.

How surprising, I didn't see this thread coming

Sometimes young players need to be persevered with, too often they are cast aside before they mature as players resulting in clubs looking for the quick fix from overseas.
Lessons need to be learn't.
