We did get value out of the first four. And Myler.

You've missed off Hill.

If both teams had Tony Smith coaching them, I'd wager that our best 17 would thrash them...

Dufty
Thewlis
Wrench
Ratch
Ashton
Drinkwater
Williams
Harrison
Walker
Vaughan
Nicholson
Currie
Philbin

Clark
Bullock
Kasiano
Holroyd/Green

By no means saying I'd want all of these back, but they would destroy our mob just now.

Think how many of those players have been dismissed by the majority on here, weren't good enough for warrington, get rid of them, instead of having patience, we're also part of the problem

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Sat Jul 01, 2023 7:50 am  

Well give it a couple of weeks and we'll have re-signed another 6 of em.

Re: TV games (not Wire) : Sat Jul 01, 2023 8:17 am  

Seriously, I'd only want Wardle or T King back, and possibly G King. Dean is our player.

It's not patience... It's just an inability to coach improvement.... bizarrely I'd keep the majority of the current squad and add in positions where academy recruitment can't currently fill... It's the coach role which needs to be filled well... Look at Rowley at Salford and the style and effort there with really poor resources... Here they give the coach a cheque book to nullify the need To work harder

I think that's a fascinating point. Because I'm almost certain that if you brought in Rowley or Watson here the outcomes would be just as disappointing as what we're seeing now. You need someone with the hunger, ability AND aura (?) Of T Smith in 2009 to rise above the culture of the club and demand 100% effort of every person within it.

We ,the paying fans, have been short changed for quite a few years by what the club has to offer.
Amazing how these cast offs are doing so well at Leigh & other clubs.

Cooper, King and Wardle are all first choice players at Wigan. Either Wigan or Warrington have got something wrong there and I don't think it's Wigan.

Perhaps because it’s Wire, we just haven’t earned the browny points to be patient.
Wigan Leeds and Saints have earned the right to take seasons to rebuild for a GF….
Wire want in March.

Bad eggs at Wire but choirboys at Wigan. Must be the teachers that are the issue.
