I have not been Farrels biggest fan this season but apart from that missed tackle i thought that was his best game this season.

Deacon needs to go, I am hearing he wants to play on but he shouldnt. Our attack today was woeful and whilst saints defense was great we might as well as sent them our attacking manual to read before the game because they hardly had to think on their feet to keep us out. the times they did we scored. finch not much better.

did hoffman go off injured? never saw him or so I thought.

whole team looks tired and not up to it. Richards looks as slow as a cart horse and carmont and richards are our main attacking threat.

we wont make the GF of that I am sure.

If they want it on a Bank Holiday i say put it on the BH in June. Ideal weekend for most people.

Also start the season with a round of Challenge Cup games instead of the MM weekend have that on the May Bank holiday. AAAAAA bugger it let me run the RFL.

Its in the RFL's interest to stop teams winning both competitions, they wont want to change it as it makes the competition seem more even.

i agree with that, it is alot to do, look at wires league position in 09 and failure in play offs last year. so you saying that your coach should of done a better job of maintaining the fitness level of his 17 rather than playing them each week knowing they have the wccc and he would of been quite sure of a long cup run? but even if he done this then it still would be a hard job to maintain the same level of intensity on the pitch.

this is why the league should be smaller so we have a lot higher intensity matches throughout the season.

Was about to post that in that post but i thought i would seem to be paranoid to some fans.

totally agree. also nice to have a warrington fan on here who wants to have an adult conversation about RL.

we have won the cup anything else is a bonus,don't throw the dummy out of the pram yet.its not all over till the fat lady sings.

Saints wanted it more today end of.

IF we beat Catalan next week I will be more confident going away to play Saints at Widnes than I would be if they were coming here had we won.

Happy with this, if we end up playing Wire at OT though I think we will get hammered.

Thats basically my thoughts also

There didn't even seem to be a game plan. No structure in attack. I wonder if Maguire has the balls to drop Deacon for next week?

We're knackered IMO end of. Yes we've played a few extra games than everyone else. But for me the mistake was Madge constantly playing his strongest team week in week out. The squad should have been rotated far more than it was. That for me is the reason why most of the squad look jaded at present.

What if Wire choose us for the semi though?
