luckily for us Ellery Hanley has been getting used to the personal abuse after being called "Mr Potatoe Head" by judge Jason Gardiner on DOI.

would love to see Jimmy Ice skate and take it both barrels off JG

Over the past few weeks I have asked just about every possible question relating to why isn't the team performing as it should.

No one is having a personal go at you Gary (at least I think not) and good on you for facing off with these superstars of ours week on week, but as you'll guess we're starting to get tired of the same old same old year on year. Keep plugging away.

I think you need to be able to tell the difference between banter and personal abuse.
From my understanding Jimmy was upset by the personal abuse aimed at him by some intoxicated Warrington fans.
Regarding the question of spirit within the camp - every player I have spoken to has said the team spirit is good and in the main it is the players themselves who have been letting the team down.
Sunday is now a chance for the players to show what they are capable of - like in the first half against St Helens.

Well next question then is surely "Why are you letting the team (no to mention the supporters, coaches and board) down?" What exactly have they been doing in the off season? We are by far the side that is performing way, way below it's expectations. Look at Celtic Crusaders. No previous SL experience as a club, lots of new players, disrupted off-season, no friendlies and whilst they also haven't won a game yet they've been better to watch than we have.

I think you have misunderstood what i was implying, the questions you have been asking especially in recent times have been very good and they are the sort of questions that needed to be asked.

All i was saying before is you can basically take what a player or coach says with a pinch of salt, as an example from earlier you said "every player I have spoken to has said the team spirit is good", my point earlier was that they are not going to tell you any different than the above because at the end of the day your the media and you will get standard media replies in the main.

Imagine our players and coaches being given a Jason Gardiner style critique. They'd be quivering wrecks.

The real money question should be;

What goes on down at The Ferry on a Wednesday?

Hopefully the season will start this Sunday and we do not have to have another inquest next week.
Why did Wigan lose three on the bounce, how could Saints possibly lose at home to Hull KR - the fact of the matter is sport can always be unpredictable - so you never know we could be celebrating a great Warrington win on Sunday.

Absolutely, nothing better than seeing two committed teams going at each other and playing to the best of their abilities with the result in doubt until the end. Not quite what we are getting served up though is it?
