I don't think we necessarily need to plant the blame on specific players really. They try. Unfortunately the coach has not got us playing right at all. He's never been the answer and despite a lot of bluster, we are the same old Warrington. Somehow our collective concentration is not there through a game. Stupid errors that come down to holding onto the flipping ball.

Good post. Most of the players tried very hard and most looked as dissapointed as us.

Warrington coach Daryl Powell:

"At half-time, I thought 'what we have done to ourselves?' It was crazy what we were doing to ourselves. We kept dropping the ball constantly against a team with 12 men who led 8-0.

"But, after all the carnage, we were just a forward pass away from winning the game.

"We only have one competition to aim for now - and that's a performance we need to put in the bin pretty quickly. Clearly it wasn't good enough."


Clearly sees it as a one off performance issue and not systemic (at least publicly).

Shambles, dumb, panic, didn't turn up.

For the first time for many many years I am ANGRY at what I've seen.

Errors by my reckoning (started after the first error on about 2 minutes)
Wrench x2
Kasiano x2
Walker
Currie x3
Dudson
Harrison x2
Matautia x2
Green
Philbin
Dufty
Bullock.

Awful, truly awful and an embarrassment to the town.

I do not blame Powell here at all. The team didn't give him a chance to put his game plan into action.
There were too many basic errors - many unforced. The team should be ashamed of themselves.
We simply had no idea how ro build presure - how could we with all those errors - and to be beaten out wide by a team with 12 men says it all. Pathetic.

Josh Thewlis was head, shoulders and torso above every other Warrington player. In my view it was his best game I've seen him play, but that was possibly the one bright spot in an abyss of tripe.
(I also thought we were better when Clarke was playing and Ashton did some hard yards)

Thankfully I didn't spend my hard earned cash on that.
I went to the National Cycle Show at the NEC and had a far more productive day.

Blimey. How we got close to winning ... I don't know with that many mistakes (17).

It would have been a complete travesty if we had won that match.

That didn't stop me shouting out in anguish at Matautias forward pass at the end.

Re: Today’s game v Wigan. : Sun Jun 18, 2023 8:02 pm  

We even had success stopping their two golden boys. Yep ... I thought we'd won it too.

We've been telling you for years that your dire.

Is anyone actually surprised at this performance though? I'm not in the slightest. I know the players have to take their fair share of responsibility but non of them are awful players - the coaching just seems off and his done since he came in

I have never known anyone coach knocking on, loose Carrie's, and miss tackles. This is down to the players, no bottle.

True, but something has gone wrong. At the start of the season our goal line defence was miserly, out attack fluid and our error rate and discipline excellent.

All of those come from communication, shared responsibility and diligence. Now we look like strangers and enemies.
