| Yes fully agree get rid of Dowes,Washbrook,Obst and Sharp. Although I have had a go at golden boy Whiting in the other thread he is a good squad player but wouldn't make my 17. We need a good right hand side and ours is very poor. Like Turner he has had a good season but would still try and sign a good right centre and give Lyne a go or bring in another winger too.

| I'm not wanting to be harsh about any FC player, just being realistic. If Will Sharp had made some of the errors and missed some of the tackles Whiting has this season some sections would have called for a public hanging.

Will Sharp's meant to be a winger , Whiting is a loose forward playing on the wing.

One of Whiting's stregths over the years has been his versatility, so please don't use the "playing out of position" excuse where Whiting is concerned.

Correct, and done a very good job of it too. He made a bad error last night that led to a try, and because he hardly ever has a bad game, or makes many mistakes, when he does they stick out like a sore thumb.
I've always said Rich maybe would have developed better as a player with another club, but I'm very glad he stayed with us, and I hope he continues to do so!

| Before we all get too carried away, we are playing against the best team to come to the KC in about 3 years. Warrington took their chances (some of which we made very easy for them to take) and we didn't. Our best chance of making a real game of it was in the 5 minutes after we made it 6-6. Unfortunately Westerman and Yeaman wanted to score for themselves and not the team.
That being said, Washbrook, Lauaki, Dowes (although I actually thought he did ok last night) and Sharp imo have not done enough to warrant a further contract.
Solely on the basis of last night Whiting and Yeaman were poor, but over the course of season they have done well.
The lack of halfs killed us again this season, Horne is too predictable and doesn't have the burst of pace needed to threaten the line. Hopefully the introduction of Seymore and Ellis will remidy that.

Whitings main strength is his defence, which was poor last night. He also got himself in to poor positions when carrying the ball which allowed the warrington defence to push him back.

I just don't see what he brings to the squad at a club that is looking to challenge the top 4 before too long.'"
As above.

| The warrington defence pushed everbody back. Our ptb and acting half play kills us against good teams because we're so slow and predictable. Our marker defence is also disorganised and too often we have our tackler laid on the floor while the opposition play the ball or in Hames case he's stood looking like a lemon as players walk past him. It's tough enough to defend 13 on 13 but 11 or 12 defenders against a team with "brains", skill and organisation is impossible.

| How the hell is Radford escaping criticism? Should have gone last season and unless we pay him off we've got another year of him thinking he's a halfback and taking about 3 hours to play the ball. We have half a dozen players who could be replaced by a cheaper younger option without any loss of "quality"

He isn't escaping criticism from me. Thought he was poor and the game effectively went when Moa and Ogre departed first half.

it came as no surprise to me that we went to turd when Moa and O'Meley went off, Dowes and Radford haven't been a "force" for a long time, we should never have given Radford two seasons.
If we don't recruit a real top notch prop next season we're in trouble, Warrington were swatting us off like flies at times last night.
Our kicking game was terrible again as well, like I said the other week, beating Cas and the likes is one thing, but when the big boys come calling we're hiding in the attic playing with Barbie Dolls.

I said exactly the same thing when they went off at the same time. We lost all of our push.

Delete Obst from that list and replace with Radford.
