Pity Gelling has been suspended by Wolves cos Widdop coming in could've put a few noses out of joint in their back line - who would they have left out, would Ratchford have gone back to fb etc etc

I agree with other posters that a heavy pitch will level the pace and that we need to be at our collective best while Wolves are off it a bit...that said injuries/ill-discipline/ref calls (or non-calls cos for me it's always more about the calls you don't get from the ref than the ones you do) could all make a difference

c'mon lads

The weather isn't a leveler for me. We have speed to match Warrington.
It's skills with the ball that's the problem.

Re: Warrington : Thu Feb 13, 2020 12:19 am  

not in the middle we don't but I agree with you about ball speed & skills

Re: Warrington : Thu Feb 13, 2020 8:14 am  

Well I think, as we don't know yet what players we're putting out, it's difficult to say how we'll go BUT a lot of it is about attitude and heart of the players on the pitch. We have to get up to them at the ruck and stop them playing! Oh...and sort out the defence on the flanks!

Re: Warrington : Thu Feb 13, 2020 8:14 am  

We have players who can play to a much higher standard than what we’ve seen so far even taking into account our injuries.What has always alluded us is consistency, playing week in week out at that higher level.We manage that level only for short spells throughout the season and so far it’s been enough to narrowly keep us in the top flight.Im afraid until both players and coach grasp that the club will always be flirting with the inevitable.I and many like me will watch wakey through thick and thin but those fickle fans that sit on the fence won’t be tempted back anytime soon with erratic performances like we’ve seen .Whether it’s coaching skill or player attitude I don’t know but we seem to be happily content to be those perennial under achievers

Yeah, that pretty much sums things up! although, since it's about 50 years since we won a major trophy I'm very much not content!

Perennial underachievers who finished 5th twice in the last 3 years with the lowest budget in the league?

It's skills and pace with the ball that's the problem.

Where only 2 games in and Warrington have give all of us the benchmark to copy, Relentless Non-stop speed getting the opposition on the back foot very enjoyable to watch .
