The Sandow home game isn't going to be a draw like the Johns one was. Then again Sandow isn't a tenth of the player Joey was.

6500 tops.

I remember Phil Clarke getting rubbished and being slagged off on this very board for daring to suggest much earlier in the season Dire had 'no chance' of getting to Old Trafford.

He was spot on, it seems.

It doesnt detract from the fact he is a biased waste of oxygen who cant see past the so called cherry and white pearly gates of Pie-Land!!!

Can add Evans to that list. At full fitness wouldn't break into a Leeds, Wigan or Saints side. Neither wood King if we are being honest.

It would have taken a good coaching and excellent recruitment to handle a seamless transition from that ageing side but brilliant side of 2011 into a new one. Results seem to show we have had neither. Unless we revitalise our pack 2016 won't be much better either.

Not sure what you're suggesting the RFL do - give us two points anyway to keep it interesting?

We've lost 13 games out of 25 and a slow, painful wind-down to the season is no less than we deserve.

Sell that to the wider public please.......

so you cant sell those final five games to me .....? and now people are suggesting for a chunk of the remainder of the season we play all the kids because the rest of the season doesn't actually matter.........

I'm not suggesting anything like ask the rfl to give us two points..??...!! thats a bit childish....
I'm criticising the tag line ...."Every minute matters"...........its not really worked out like the RFL suggested has it...... its been a steady top 3 with two sides battling it out for fourth spot......

its just been a bigger pool of teams trying to escape relegation...... how that makes a good competition im not sure, when what weve got is the majority of teams just trying to be the least poop.

the aussies must be poop scared while they continue with the top 8 format.... imagine how good their league would be if the panthers, the knights and the Titans etc....now had to go and play against lower league clubs....?

Wires have been a disgrace this season and its also a poop formula.......thats all I wanted to say.....

If you didn't say another thing about our season, it wouldn't matter, you have summed everything up in 2 sentences.

Do you get more money to the club the higher you finish?

I'm relating to "Every minute matters".

Re: 5 Dead Rubbers : Fri Aug 14, 2015 6:13 am  

Every minute does matter, it's just Warrington did not buy into this so slacked off at the start of the season.

Our previous top 8 meant most of the minutes did not matter at all as everyone was waiting for the playoffs.

Why did Warrington hold back so much money to sign up their key player 2 weeks ago?

Not really sure it is my job to sell those games to you, however next week we play Wigan at home. For me, personally, that is quite a big deal regardless of the context and any Wire player or fan should want to see that shower brought down a peg. It is Sandow's first home game and I think it is important to show the sort of support and atmosphere the HJ can generate and maybe he'll raise his game.
