What was Kenny Edwards doing to incite the crowd ? I missed the game and couldn’t see anything on the YouTube clips

How has Lineham been banned for moving off the mark? The disciplinary minutes mention him using the shoulder in the 65th minute, but watching it back there’s nothing of the sort in that incident. The pedant Child explains to Hill that the penalty was for moving off the mark instead of playing the ball where he should have. There’s nothing dirty about it, IMO. Was he banned because he's got ‘previous’ this year? I honestly don’t understand.

Looking forward to tomorrow to see who unfortunately gets Child this week, by rights he should even get on the touchline.

How is it utter nonsense? Most Warrington fans are sick of him and think he should be stripped of the captaincy. As I put in the post you didn't even read, I think he should have been warned about his conduct. Imagine that was Sean O'Loughlin or LMS swearing at the ref after refusing to let him finish the game, you don't think their conduct would be looked at?

Chris Hill was a model player as regards discipline when he played for us at Leigh. It has obviously been coached into him at the Wire. So my question is which coach is responsible, as he is never in trouble with England either.

Good post.
He's a good captain but does give away daft penalties.
He doesn't call the plays on the pitch anyway.

I would probably say that Hill has slowly declined over the years since being given the captaincy, I actually think it burdens his abilities as a player. The amount of penalties he gives way now compared to 3-4 years has most probably increased (without actually checking the averages over a season). And far to often he gets involved with ‘dummy spits’ with referees when something goes against him and sometimes with opposition players. It certainly didn’t go on when he first arrived from Leigh, when he was a lot more no nonsense and he seemed to make a lot of yardage on the back of it.

Ps this isn’t a major dig at Hill, he’s still one of the first players I’d have down on my team sheet..

Agree with this, he moans too much and for me it puts him off his game. He would be much better just leading by example, just knuckling down and getting on with the game. He would be a great captain if he did that.

Exactly I think it’s an element ‘trying to hard’ at times with Hill and a lot of it boils down to outright frustration. Saturday nights game against Catalan, his behaviour at times was a prime example of that, although I do admit that was a pressure cooker scenario given catalans tactics/agenda and Childs ineptitude.

I am hopeful that Widdop is given the reigns of captaining the side next season as I think we will see more of the old Chris Hill back and it would enable Widdop to really stamp his authority on the side. I’m sure he would revel in leadership of the team & it would allow the likes of Austin, Clarke and Ratchford to follow on the back of it.
