McNamara clearly not missing any of these!

Not read much of this thread but from what I saw I thought Currie did an awful lot of work - be interesting to see how many tackles he put in - and was worth being voted the Wire mom.
Vaughan also put a good stint in and Makaele gave us a lift.
Kasiano was poor - too many basic mistakes but I was impressed by his turn of speed at the end of the match to stop them scoring a try.

We made far too many basic errors to win. Cut those out and we give ourselves chance.

Ref made some blunders and allowed far too much lieing on / hands-in the ruck.

Cats deserved it through our frailties.

The look on the players faces under the sticks was just pure disbelief and bewilderment. I dont think they can believe it either. But the effort was there.

Its criminal what Powell has done to this side.

Powell made ratchford our CAPTAIN! Above everything else, that was the worse thing he did. Yes, it was worse than signing dudson!

Our first choice centres have a combined ago of 68-70 i think. Nice one Daryl

Not good enough - Dudson, Kasiano, Drinkwater, Ratchford, Matautia, Dufty and Walker as our main number nine is a big worry.

Would any of our rabble get In saints or cats or even Wigan's team at this moment..may be a couple..but we carry em..face it we are in free fall..and it starts at the top

I have never seen a fullback be out of position/missing as much as Dufty. There's a reason he didn't make it in the NRL, it's the same as the reason he's poor for us, he just couldn't be 4rsed!

Ratchford is our captain say no more, so comfortable, so lacking in hunger and so deludedly entitled.

Totally agree. I remember him being interviewed on tv a month or so back saying that the team needed to defend better, and yes he was right. However, he was one of the main culprits including one ridiculously poor turnstile effort.

Even got called out on Sky at the end, so it’s not just us fickle fans.

I honestly think players who come here perceive us as the equivalent of a Major League Soccer Club where players can get well paid and wind down their careers. If they don't arrive with that mindset, they soon change into the Warrington Wolves Status Quo.

I'm worried about Williams as well who looked totally exasperated in that interview. Quality players have been arriving here for years and most get progressively worse during their stay with few maintaining their form.

We seem to have all the gear but no idea.
