Abject performance

Cannot use the taking time to gel excuse anymore Cas were streets ahead of us last night in every department. If its not working the worst thing you can do is nothing, we have plenty more players to choose from so use them, its not just about size up front its about passion , pride , ideas and taking risks. At the moment the best player on the field is Ben Cockayne and we need the other players to take on the same workload and enthusiasm. Oh and why does Smith never look where he passes?.

To be fair, Fox showed plenty of desire when he got the ball, but it really comes to something when the two wingers are the most commited players on the field.

There are others who also seem committed, Mathers, Aiton, and Wood are further examples but clearly some are not yet up to it, or can't be bothered!

Is it a shock that we are struggling in the forwards we have ONE out and out prop Amor the rest Wilkes included are back row forwards and that is a fact

We have two halfbacks in Smith and John why are they here why I just dont get why this club brings these average overseas players in season in season out Smith cant kick wont take the line on and his passing is wayward at best

John the less said the better

Add to this Southern/Mellers/Collis Agars mate Washbrook complete waste of money and shirts

I know Rome was not built in a day but these fellas are no better than the kids who busted a gut for us last season the players we lost Griffin/Howarth even Tongia are better than the replacements

Well three pages of posting so far and none of you have picked up on a major problem. Our captain is a joke. He played 20 minutes and did nothing came back for the last 20 minutes did nothhing again but dropped the ball twice. Who the hell thought he was worth bringing over on a three year contract.

Talking to a bloke last night and he reminded me of the line of captains at our club.

Gareth Ellis to JD to Morrison and then this xxxx

Hear Hear...

Needs to go home... was blowing out of his and had his hands on his hips after they scored a try.. not the sign of a captain imo.

All half decent sides have a core of home grown local talent which gives the team pride , just look at Leeds, Wigan and Saints. Why bring somebody over from the other side of the world to try and develop when we have young players of our own who are closer to making the grade? We are just contributing to the poor standard of the National Team.

It is a player problem as the pack cannnot stop the opposition from rolling us down the field and have no go-forward with weak tackling and no consistent bug hits. R.A. can't make the players perform.

Southern is the most disappointing signing for WTW in years and for him to be captain is a joke when you compare him to Morrison and JD. He simply is not up to Super League and is a fringe squad player at best getting paid big bucks. Think he needs to return to Aus & second grade rugby. His big drop in form has coincided with WTW pack becoming extremely weak and championship material.



I though agree the coach has made a mistake by being loyal to a pack that has produced some good promising displays against Widnes, Warrington and Catalan but then imploded against Bradford, London and Cas. Saying all that Amor,Aiton and Raleigh should be retained but bin the rest and bring in the youngsters!


This is where R.A. earns his money or is eventually shown the door.

It will not help having a skipper who is not fit enough to play 80 minutes. Give someone else the responsibility who has organising skills and is at least fit for the whole game
