One bad game whilst the blokes still reeling from his coach of the last ten years announcing he’s to leave the club is surely forgivable and doesn’t make him a bad player?
Two weeks ago there was a huge number of players who we’d say are having good seasons and two poor weeks in tough circumstances surely doesn’t change that.

| Even Sean O'Loughlin was dreadful on Saturday - if it was all based on that game we'd literally be sending out John Bateman plus 16 reserve players on Thursday.

Absolutely. We were missing tackles left right and centre, whilst Wire were off-loading at will and marching us down the park.
I don't think I can bear to re-watch it!

| ....so I say would you consider 2019 as transitional?
It's almost like you're going to have that 2016 leeds thingy.
I don't except 2017 was transitional for Warrington.

Not just Farrell, but yeah, he missed more tackles that game than the rest of the season put together. Just so unlike him.

I’m still convinced we had been on the p**s Wednesday, Thursday & Friday night. Players like Faz & Lockers missing so many tackles was strange. How can SO many players be so off colour? Unless they have thrown their toys out the pram in protest at Wane going?

| According to the stats Lockers only missed 1 tackle. Farrell and Clubb missed 7 each and Powell 6. To be honest it didn't look that bad during the game, just looked as if the off loads were killing you.

| It was more O'Loughlin's passing that was dreadful.

Clubb and Powell miss a high percentage normally, so that’s not too surprising, but Faz had only missed 13 tackles (from 420 tackles made) all season up till that game.

| Maybe the video incident affected the whole squad? It could be a one-off impact if so. Or maybe players have reacted to Wane leaving. It doesn't mean the wheels have fallen off for the whole season, it could just be that it takes a couple of weeks to get back into kilter.

I can't help thinking that the Joel and Sam video was the main story behind last weekend's Cup disaster.

I don’t suppose we’ll ever know for sure. The incident was 5 weeks earlier during which time we played some decent rugby and put in our best performance of the season at Magic. I’m putting last week down to just a very bad day at the office, Warrington got us on a real off day and it coincided with them playing well. Their off load tactics worked very well and we threw nothing at them. As I say, there may be a reason behind it but we’ll probably never know. Tomorrow is a good indicator as to where we’re at and I’d say we need a win to improve the mood around the club, regardless of the performance. Ideally, we’ll put in an 80min game but I’d take a scruffy win.

Both events happened after Magic RD.
