I think it has been more a case of concentration on off field things like the rebuild and post covid crisis management.
I agree that onfield activity has been lacking but honestly think it's part of a cycle. I've seen a lot of sport clubs suffer onfield while offfield things are sorted and that goes from the very top down to grass roots.
I'm not happy with what we have served up since 2015 apart from the odd highlight bit will continue to go to home games, buy my season ticket and it would take something absolutely catastrophic to change that. I was talking with my friends and we all agreed that if the worst happened and we were relegated, unfortunately we have had to have this discussion in recent years, that we would continue with our season tickets. Probably not take in as many away games bit would still buy merchandise and support the team we love, not threaten to walk away when times are tough.
Yes we are one of the biggest clubs of not the biggest in the UK Northern hemisphere, probably the best resources and arguably the best stadium. None of this gives us the right to be the best team. We have seen chequebook rugby fail time and time again at Warrington. It takes a lot to get a truly winning side, hats off to saints who have been the best at it for quite some time and have shown even over in Oz that they have what it takes. I have faith that we will have success again but faith is totaly different to demanding!

why is everyone surprised about the lack of signings at this stage when every poster have been saying we should end the contracts for Austen Sezer and Tete and sign someone from the NRL. Hopefully the club has felt the same way and have been negotiating with good replacements but waiting to make plannned announcements at the proper time.

I suspect if the season hadn't been so consistently frustrating the field people would be a lot more relaxed about recruitment. As it is it’s only natural to want to look forward to better times and as it stands there isn't much to pin our hopes on. Just got to trust that GH and co to get it right and get behind the team for the rest of the year.

The messages around recruitment arent very convincing either and I don't mean announcing signings but reading between the lines in the interviews where it comes up.

From a fans perspective yes. I share your frustration too. From the clubs perspective it's far better to under promise and over deliver than do the opposite. At Wire Powell never stopped wittering on about recruitment and which positions he wanted strengthening, which must have been extremely disheartening for the existing squad. On balance I prefer Smith's almost blanket refusal to discuss. As long as they sign Mitchell, Cleary, and Moses for next year.

Agreed, i don’t think the coach saying we need to get recruits In straight away would send a good message to the squad for tge rest of the season, especially as Austin leaving so late left the club with practically no time to get anyone in.

This end to the season might do some of the younger players a world of good hopefully.

Do you honestly believe the players are stupid enough to believe they have an adequate squad as it is, for rest of Season?

Yeah might aswell just give up then eh?

You do realise what a squad is and why it’s needed?

I hope you guys aren’t in any sort of Managerial position ;-)
