We are still in contention for the NR Cup even though that will be a struggle and at the top of the table I can see a few teams taking points off each other which might put us back into slight contention.

If we can build some momentum then I think we will nick a few wins that we would not currently expect.

There are green shoots showing from the new training regime (even yesterday) and with a little more practice I think we will be back firing on all cylinders again.

With more fitness Morrison and Fletcher will have more of an impact and on wider pitches the pace of Flynn and Penny will get us tries.

Have heart!!

Fingers crossed hey

i am also sure that more than half of them don't get on with cullen, i believe stanky should have got the job at least the players like him !!

The feedback I have had is that the majority of the players actually rate Cullen. I can understand one or two having disagreements about training being shifted from what they originally signed on for but even they should realise that things had to change. We need the players to pull in the same direction to get anywhere this year and I think the bulk of the playing squad are doing just that.

Again... this is just a case of fans from other clubs trying to scaremonger..

we know what the problems are, they are obvious to all and the club has been upfront about it to the fans... what is more encouraging is that these matters are being addressed.

I think it does not matter wether a player "likes" a coach .It is more important that they respect and in a way fear him.
They are professionals there to do the best job they can ,end of.

Your season is far from over, you still have a grand final to win. Cull will build for the next franchise then as a wire fan i hope justice is done next time and Widnes is back in super league. We can then make our derby games the best in the league.

Good Luck

absolutely spot on

I was told from someone who would have known, that Tony Smith told the warrington players right from the off..."he wasnt there to be their mates" and if they didnt like him that was for them to deal with, he was there to do a job and so where they"

however its clear he wants the players to be mates so they work that little bit harder for each other, and that makes sense.
If your mate is the coach sat in the stand picking you every week regardless, why would you make that extra yard to help a team mate complete a try saving tackle.

If your mate was stood beside you with a 2 on 1 you'd firstly make that extra effort to help your mate out in defence and secondly make sure the angry so and so on the coaches bench didnt have a reason to drop you....

Nonsense. How are we supposed to focus on next season with still so much of this season to play for?

We have played 2 or 3 games more than all other teams and are only in 3rd. and were only at the quarter finals of the NRC, we gotta beat york to get to the semis.

Face it, the seasons over.
