At the moment going off recent history then Wire, but that could all change!

Can't believe people are still blaming that one game for our potential downfall. We had an 18 point lead TWICE in that game. If Josh had scored the easy penalty in the closing seconds, we'd have won. As has been said, other teams may have reacted differently had we taken those 2 points.

One concern to me is that we don't appear to have any cool heads out there. As soon as we go one score behind against a good team we're throwing suicidal passes, dropping simple balls, losing discipline etc.

We're either winning easily (albeit sloppily recently) or losing. We're not winning any tight games just now.

I'm actually pleased with 30-10 as I can only think of one time (Charnley) when we otherwise came close to scoring whereas any team, nevermind Warrington, could easily score 40-50 against a team playing as badly as we did last night.

To be fair TBW, there's a lot more to say and analyse when we lose. It's easy, and somewhat meaningless, to say 'great 50 metre run from Charnley', or 'fantastic twisting run from Sam' when it's obvious and we all saw it'. I post more when we lose rather than fill the board with celebratory comments.

Like being at home with the wife, I speak when I have something I think/hope is worth saying. Doesn't make me a moaner.

at the end of the day we lost the game, finchy is lost without tommy, and was unfit,but lets face it we have 3 games left, salford h , hkr a, and stains at home, wire have london a, hudds then widnes, but smug shite smith is known to rest players in "easy games" so the london game with wembley the week after could be a banana skin so could giants the week after, i think the game we could slip on is rovers away. but the point is and lets face it we could end up top and still get nothing as previous years have proven, but have faith in the lads i think we will do it, pat sposed to be back for salford then tommy expected for hkr and fielden in 3 week we are going into play offs with a good strength outfit

Maybe so but do you have a better idea?
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Alex, I bet your wife thinks your a moaner! :wink: :lol:

Like I said it was just an observation and again you pay your money you can say what you like, it is a forum.

Suppose I am just being grumpy in my own way after yesterday's defeat.

That is why we miss Tommy so much in my opinion, and nobody misses him as much as Finch.
