Could nt agree more

I know we have still got alot of rugby to play this season but our season will not be turned around with what we have got on the field.
TS is a great coach i am pleased he is at the wire but nothing will happen this season.

Why not? These are essentially the same players folk were saying could more than hold their own in this league, all they needed was proper coaching...

We have got the right coach just not the players simple as that.Big clear out but sadly end of season for me .

Jesus tonight! Is Smith's remit to rectify all wrongs within a month?

unfortunately we will need approx 24 points to get in the top 8.

pick 10 games we can win....





a right off of a season ....which is a disaster for the club and its attempts to improve crowd numbers

The weirdest thing is, we are conceding thirty plus points a game on average, Salford nearly forty. Quite strange to be so low scoring even considering the weather.

have to agree cant see where we are going to win 10 games this year we have no idea in attack and are clueless in defence what now

Rau Power Wins the Day At Salford
Warrington Wolves warmed up for the new Super League season with a 22-18 comeback victory over Salford City Reds.

Paul Cullen's near full-strength side went ahead when Ben Westwood sent Martin Gleeson over for the opening try after just four minutes.

Chris Bridge added Warrington's extras, but Stuart Littler then scored for Salford and John Wilshere converted to level matters at 6-6 going into the break.

Adam Sidlow and Phillip Leuluai both scored converted tries after the restart as the Reds forged their way into an 18-6 lead with 25 minutes remaining at the Willows.

But three tries in a nine-minute spell from Andy Bracek, Jon Clarke and Paul Rauhihi and two conversions from Chris Bridge spared Warrington's blushes.

Wolves got their first glimpse of Chris Hicks who came on in the 60th minute, other noteworthy performances were that of Paul Rauhihi and Steve Pickersgill who both put in powerful performances in the pack.

However, a poor completion rate in the first half showed there is still work to do before the 'real-thing' begins in 12 days time when the Wolves entertain Hull FC on Friday 8th February, kick off 7.30pm, in front of the Sky Sports Camera's.

Where did I say that?



I am pointing out that there is no need for this season to be written off, as some people seem to be doing.

Those in bold I believe we should win. Those in italics could be won, with a good performance from the side...

I'm lovin' all this.... keep it up... quality humour.

Just in from work...see i missed nothing. Do i really need to read all 11 pages or can i just refer to our last defeat by a minnow?

why arent you trolling on the Leeds board saying things like "your going down on Easter monday you lot..."

that would be real humour.......

anyway every dog has its day and todays yours......level on points with the big boys now

Warrington?



Oh yeah, massive club!

minnows can grow and so will we, you just cant take it can you...

Salford were worthy winners, made most of their possesion, Leahy is a useless bleep though.

Gracious in defeat, unlike most of your fans mate.

Have to agree tbh. Didn't see the match today but saw him for the first time when Wigan played Barrow last week and he was very poor.

why are you sayin all this wire if you was a true fan you wouldnt boo thm of you would clap thm off n not slagging thm off at the end of the game and i was clappin thm n cheerin thm off 2 they went in so CME ON THE WIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were out workmanliked, if you know what I mean?

Why are you saying all this? If you were true fans you would not boo them off, you would clap them off and not slag them off at the end of the game. I was clapping and cheering them off. Come on Wire!

Translation for eveyone!

Can't be bothered reading 11 pages.

King was excellent, PJ was good, Morley was good, Bridge did a couple of nice things.

Monaghan aka 'Monagun' if you listened to GMR was painfully slow, slow handling, passing, running, kicking etc. Just, no good really.

Lots of daft errors, Warrington stylee. Clarke, Higham, Harrison, Westwood, you name it, they dropped it. Grix doesn't have the handling to play centre, he's in the side right now purely on the strength of being a solid defender, that's grating on me.

Both teams looked clueless, tired, Alker gave them a lift when he came on with about 15 mins left, Higham didn't for us. Not a game that'll last in the moemory very long, lots of one up stuff, poor conditions, proper 'arm wrestle', whoever came away with the win, was going to do it by just out boring the other side, we cracked first. I'd like to see the penalty again that got Salford upfield, if were stripping the ball with four minutes left, we really are thick, they were going nowhere at the time.

Boring game to talk about really, hopefully Monday will be more spectator friendly, we need to get some pace into the backline, we've got King & 3 forwards as our 2-5, we need to find a way to get Riley/Penny or both into the side as pose no threat from deep, and we need field position to score, you'd fancy your chances of beating us if you could keep us away from your 20m line.

Smith summed it all up on GMR, defence very good, offence lacking. Something to build on, no dramas. End of.

I was discussing that with a chap walking out of the ground. If we had made a break, Hicks excepted, I couldn't see anybody going the length of the field.
