Wire Away - how do we beat them?

[JackH]

Shit start, this could be over already if they score another one or two. If we can get the next one we're back in it.

Hope we get better before the playoffs.

1st Leeds, now Wire. 2nd big game of the season and we go to pieces again. Have we lost the big game mentality?

And Finch is having a mare!

Not took care of the ball at all. Wire haven't even been that good, we'd be getting battered if they were on form.

I'm fuming, sad to say all we can really say about this season is that we're very good at beating average teams.
In the big games we go to pieces. We all knew that the only real opposition to us is Wire and at home we got beat and although there's 18 mins to go, I really don't think we stand a chance today.
So two big games two losses and the semi against Leeds, we fell to pieces again.
Warrington have been very professional today in that they've worked hard and waited for us to make mistakes, which we have in abundance. We've made it so easy for them to win.
Why do we make so many mistakes in big games? We lose all of our bottle and don't seem to have the capacity to find a win if Plan A goes wrong.

And Kitwazzer, Lee Briers is the perfect name for my malignant cancerous tumour as I hate him that much. My tumour is better looking though.
He's been the difference so many times that it hurts. Nearly as much as my cancer does.

I'm ranting now, so pee'd off!!!

Got back from holiday on Wednesday and had a feeling I'd be coming back to a game we would lose when I saw the squad troubles.

Wane has said he wants to win the league. Well if we don't and lose it by a point it won't be this loss that will have cost us the game. It will be Widnes away.

If you want to win the league you get the points in the bag as soon as you can because you never know if later in the season injuries will put you under a bit of pressure.

Well that is exactly what has happened and since the Exiles game the team has gone from looking invincible to a team that gets beat by any decent sides who play the percentages as Wigan under Madge did.

Yes its been disrupted by injury but that is part of the game. As I said if you want to win the league the way you go about it is by getting the points in the bag against teams any way you can as soon as you can. If that meant just giving one or two younger players a run out at Widnes then that is what he should have done. If it means preventing players at the opposition playing against you so as to weaken their team - that is what you do.

Had he done these things we would IMO have won the game and still be three points clear.

[Kittwazzer]

I'm more concerned than angry. Still think SW is the right coach for us but I think there is just that little bit missing to take us that extra yard. But I'm not giving up. It will come.
How many of us predicted us to be in this position 12 months ago?

That said, I'm not betting on silverware this year!

If only we'd had Fielden, he would have won it single handedly

There's no doubt he would have at least been on the bench. Wane for some strange reason likes to overload his bench with forwards. He did this against Leeds despite all ready having a forward in the halfs, now with Finch clearly not being 100% he has done it again and given himself little if any option to change things when it matters
