Just like the bad old days...

Post by ragman »

I know many won't agree, but that was just like the bad old days under Noble.

One up football too often, poor discipline, no kicking game, no pace where it matters, no real plan going forward.Poor stuff

We need some creativity in the halves, some pace in the back line and someone who can co-ordinate things like a proper captain

After silverwood blew the pea out of his whistle against us to get dire back in the game, we were clearly out of steam.

That said, I reckon we'd have had a chance of winning at the end if silverwood hadn't decided that Josh wasn't allowed to try and catch the ball.

I agree with that.

I think our main issue is defence Ragman, especially on the line. We defend like hell to stop the opposition getting out of their half, but can't defend if they are attacking on our line.

We're you watching the same game? Are you one of these posters that only comes on here to whinge? We were on top most of the game and looked dangerous with ball in hand. Lauaki handed it to Wire.

Think you will find Lima handed it to wire the stupid penalty with 10 seconds to go was the difference in the end.

Briers was 3 yards offside for his try but that doesn't paper over the obvious cracks

No backs on the bench didn't help Richards was on one leg for 60mins
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

I don't know - I was talking about Wigan v Wire tonight...you?

Looking dangerous is a mater of opinion, but it never, ever won a game. Being dangerous did, but we weren't, simple as that.

Warrington were not great tonight, and they beat us.
I know there were a couple of questionable decisions, but Wire shouldn't have scored either of their first two tries, they were soft tries, and Shaun Wane needs to smarten up our goal line defence, and soon.

I think we were very unlucky to lose it.. too close to call and Briers was standing a mile offside for the interception ....and at one point I thought we were going to run out of bandages..

I think you should read your own 'Lauaki is to blame 'thread...
