As a player, yes. Big difference being tasked with coaching a club that expects to be in finals.

Has anyone else noticed that the Twitter accounts of the players have gone quiet in recent weeks? Usually they contain a fair amount of rugby related banter but now this has all but dried up. So, could this reflect a lack of team spirit or am I reading too much into it?

He should've gone after playing Wheeler in the semi against HKR. Get rid now as I'm beginning to hate him!

In today's paper, Hill says that "we need to have a word with ourselves, not just the senior players. We all need to get together and say a few home truths".

Make of that what you will.

Nothing new here as they hardly post after a defeat let alone 5 but def a sign all is not well in the camp.

Could mean anything that statement,

Senior players ?

Highest paid,
Longest serving,
Most successful.
Most experienced.


Not just the senior players ?

Those not considered a senior player
Coaching staff
Management
Speccies



Has someone said to Hill that the senior players need to get their finger out?

The post match Twitter banter of the Aston Villa players last year did not go down well with their fans so maybe the Wire players are right to keep a low profile.

Of course all is not well in camp. You are the whipping boys of super league. Morale is bound to be low. Get a few wins under your belt and players will start to enjoy training again
