This is a forum of fans and that includes the doom and gloom fans who will always find something to moan about no matter how well things are going, the delusional fans who think we deserve to win every game we ever lose and every defeat is due to the ref and the missing players etc and the fans somewhere in the middle who can see the good and the bad and use common sense before posting.
Unfortunately the delusional fans and the doom and gloom fans ruin a good topic as their comments lead back to the same old arguments every time!!!
The simple fact is that a good team can beat anyone on their day in the right circumnstances, with everyone fit and the rub of the green going their way. A great team can beat anyone when they have players out and every decision is going against them.
Are Warrington a great team?
Well you cannot answer that until at the end of the season because this is a marathon not a sprint.
Every year we have gone into games knowing we could lose to Salford, Wakefield, Catalans etc etc, but at the same time we knew we were capable of beating Wigan, Leeds, Bradford etc. The only given was that we would lose to Saints.
Now we are comfortably beating Salford, Wakefield and Catalans etc without even getting out of 3rd gear, and we are performing on a level playing field with Saints, Wigan and Leeds.
We only just lost to Wigan in a game that so nearly went the other way, and we were beaten by Saints and Leeds who on the day played better than us.
Fact is we have come on a million miles from last season, and the defeats in during the regular season will mean nothing come the playoffs. I would much rather us make our mistakes now than in the playoffs. Tony Smith will take many more lessons from them defeats than he would from the massive wins against Huddersfield and Salford, and hopefully (fingers crossed) it is them lessons learnt that will help us come out on top in the playoffs come the end of the season.'"
excellent post.
