Anyway, getting beat by teams with 2nd rowers in the halves is all the rage these days!

Not sure how you can lose to a team with Dec Patton in the halves to accompany him though! (Awaits Rubber Duckie!).

The duck isn't a Patton fan...he's a Wire fan.
Wants what best for the club, and since the injuries to Brown, Ratchford and Austin, and while we await the coming of Widdop...Patton is the best we have.
I'm not going to rip the lad, I only want him to be successful and I always had faith in his ability behind a dominant pack.

Wire beat Saints with Patton and Hughes who'd never played at half in one of, if not the best game played this season? And I positively knew we would, because simply Wire are a much stronger and powerful team in the forwards and outside backs.
Proof that half's don't win games...packs do? The backs decide by how much.

So here stand Wire with the 2019 4th or 5th choice half and a 2nd rower, CC Champions.

I don't like to boast I told them so...but just for Patton...I said he'll be the most successful Warrington born half in the British game....and he's halfway there.
You've got marquee half Williams and have won nothing.

Won nothing? Interesting assessment of the current champions.

May be wrong but I thought we were the current champions, sure we won at Old Trafford last year, can't quite remember who we played though.

You are the SL champions 2018.
It ends there.

Meaning we are the reigning champions, something you won’t be for a very long time

I think we can safely say, Duckie, that we've won far more with Wigan born halves than Warrington ever will with Warrington born halves even if we include the entire future of rugby league. I really don't think that is a profitable seam for you to try and mine, mate.

Haha yes because every team to ever have a player sent off has gone on to lose the game haven’t they? I recall listing 6 or 7 examples in the 2 seasons prior to 2014 where teams had men sent off and still won.

You also conveniently forgot that you were beaten by a team with a prop at centre, a centre on the wing, a 2nd rower and a full back in the halves, a winger at full back......

I think you'll find we've beaten you many times with players out of position and back rowers in the halves (or are the names O'Loughlin and Farrell new to you? ). That's really no excuse. In fact, let's be honest for a moment here, Hohaia was no more than a makeshift half anyway! It would be like us complaining we lost Powell from the halves and had to replace him with O'Loughlin or Escare. I'd take players out of position but 13 v 12 any day of the week. I have no doubts whatsoever that you would too.

Most definitely Phuzzy
I make no excuses for the poor yield from my town.
However we are the only town in the history of RL to have an NRL Immortal at halback.
