Hoops, I'm not saying he wouldn't have missed a tackle. I'll tell you what though. You can't have been to many games otherwise you wouldn't be questioning him about his skill under the high ball; and if you're insinuating that I think he should be in Shauls positions well I'm not. I'm saying lets freshen things up. Naughton back on one of the wings and Abdull in for Carlos. Flair is what we need now. Let's roll the dice !

Number 6 as stated. Same line up barring injuries with Naughton on one of the wings and Abdull in for Carlos.

Lol
No, I've not been to many games in the 36 years of supporting them.
I don't think Shaul, Talanoa or Michaels deserve dropping at all. I like Naughton but he wouldn't have been the difference between winning and losing tonight.
The pace at which Wire played tonight would also have exposed Abdull in defence tonight. Hypothetically speaking of course.

Its not going to happen
It will in any case be our last match of the season as i realistically cant see us beating Wigan
Injuries permitting as Bowden and Manu have injuries Radford will revert to the Wembley 17

Well there you go then. 36 years you should know better. Carlos makes Abdull look like Wally Lewis. I threw that in for you, because at your age you'll remember him.

I can't wait until you all owe me an apology next week. Radders will make changes. He's a visionary thinking outside the box. That's why he's not getting that gap in his teeth fixed. Because one day he knows that'll be the fashion and we'll all want one.

Wow.
Don't know better at all. Just replying to your comment about my knowledge implying I can't have been to many games.
I'll leave you to it anyway.

Because he is playing Rugby League not Rugby Union. He falls after being tackled and the ball carrying arm hits the ground while being held.Now he has to play the ball. If he passes it without doing so, as he did..... Penalty.

Maybe the night, the atmosphere and the pressure just played its part. We spent most the night running off our own line and when we did get any field position we looked like a virgin in a brothel. It's been a long tough season and as many have said some of the players look like the tank is empty. But we are the FC and we are still in it and still able to dream COYH

Tony Smith has a dig at us for having too many foreign players in our side in his interview for other channels.Says Warringtons investment in local talent has paid off,easy innit when you have a very wealthy boss who can cherry pick other clubs best players.

Think you are seeing insults where they don't exist. The youngsters have really stepped up this season and with the Salary Cap its realistically the only way to manage a squad. We also have some big earning Aussies so can haardly criticise.

Terrible performance on the night, far too many mistakes and poor attacking play. We can't have completed at much more than 50% yet had we been even marginally better we'd have probably won which makes it all the more disappointing. wembley has emptied the tanks of our players and although when we look back it will have been a successful season, I do think there was a real opportunity for us to pick up all 3 trophies.

We're still far too reliant on sneyd. He's been great all season and instrumental in many of our wins but when he isn't on form we struggle and carlos isn't good enough to step up IMO

Does he think there are too many overseas coaches in SL?

Agree with this. To win the CC we beat the other 4 teams at the top of the table. All massive games. Our attack actually started stumbling just prior to Wembley. At Wembley we scored from 2 kick plays but apart from those didn't really look slick at all. It's been a great season so far but I fear that we look jaded from the tough encounters we've had already. I'd never say never but it will be very hard next week against what I consider to be a tougher and more physical side than wire. The dominance that our props have had through the season appears to have dissipated and there were some pretty poor performances in a number of areas last night.

You can never write this team off as they've shown time and again. It's been a history making season but there still are IMO issues with structure and play making . That said it's easier to play behind a dominant pack and that dominance has waned in the last few games. I'm praying we can lift again one more time next week. The lads deserve their shot at the GF but it will need one of our herculean efforts to pull it off. I just wonder if a team only has so many of those games in it each season and maybe we used ours up on the way to CC glory.

Is that the interview in which he said, "I'm not having a crack at any other team when I say that, it is just something we as a club are proud of." ?

Well done for managing to take offence at that.
