If you are seriously asking for the sacking of a coach, who has his side presently joint top of the table, then you really are beyond help....

Yep you are right. Happy days for the Negs ... who suddenly have so much to say ... if only we had listened.

Bloody awful...everywhere, on and off the pitch. Talk about a false dawn. We'll not make the play-offs...I wouldn't be confident of beating Wakefield now.
The team is FULL of mediocrity and worst. Powell under pressure and I can't see how he turns this around. Gutless and clueless performance today, and for the last few weeks. How thoroughly depressing after what seemed like a brilliant start to the season.

Not going full "Powell out" just yet, but its going to need turning around very quickly.

I think it was 3 or 4 for Miniken.

We started the season like a team who had a point to prove after almost being relegated last season. Currently as we sit here today we have lost 4 of our last 6 Super League games and performances (the last two in particular) have been totally unacceptable and consequently fans are allowed to question some of the players and coaches ability.

Bobbins of a performance..what I'm wondering is who.ll play saints at old Trafford Wigan or cats but it certainly won't be us

Curious how is it we have beat Catalan twice but put Performances in like this.

So moving on. We lost Philbin after about one minute today & once again selected a forward sub. who, in the thick of the battle, we didn't want to risk. It shows a real weakness. We desperately need to get more back up in the forwards. We have other problems too ... but that is our priority.

Disappointing, and it's not been great bar a few games since Wigan. But I wasn't expecting it to be perfect, or even close to perfect and early season was a bonus really. We're top of the the league but there's still lots to work on. There isn't one single team that has been anywhere near to perfect yet either. As I've probably mentioned before, you can't just buy a team and expect it to run perfectly or near to perfect: the coach and team need an opportunity to respond.

If all goes badly we could get Paul Wellens in as they played some cracking rugby today.

I'm of the personal opinion that coaches and players should be constantly scrutinised, both in good and bad times, so I've nothing against discussing things sensibly, but when people start shouting for a sacking at this point, then I know that people have either had too much time in the sunshine, or that they are a complete muppet.

At the point where we look dire and have four points from a possible twelve? May I also point out that the current standard of SL is the worst it’s ever been in my opinion. We’ve basically beaten teams who are pretty crap (baring Catalans) teams who you would expect us to win against and actually lost to the more stronger teams in the league (Saints, Wigan, Leigh).

Not read all of this thread, but on the bright side -

- really pleased for Connor Wrench
OK he got 2 tries, but the more important thing was he didn't look out of place. He doesnt carry the ball up as good as Russell. For his first game back I think he can be relieved and satisfied. He'll only get better.

- Matty Ashton took the ball up well in the early carries. He's a deceptively strong player. All arms and legs and difficult to tackle.

- Paul Vaughan did a lot of work as did Harrison and (in a short stint from what I could see) Bullock.

As a side I dont think we have the resilience we had at the start of the season and maybe the old Warrington 'misplaced confidence' reared it's ugly head.
Anyway this is meant to concentrate on the positives so I'll shut up now.

Are you seriously calling for Powell to be sacked now, at this very point of his tenure?... Seriously?



If so, then I'm sorry, you need to put your phone away, go rest your head and come back when you have sobered up, because only a drunk or a moron would be wanting Powell fired at this point in time...

With respect Lefty Hudds Will fancy their chances against us even after the mullering they took today as Watson will be wanting a performance as he’s under pressure for a team many fancied for top 4 this season.

To the person who bagged my comments pre match… I hope you are humble enough to eat your words.

A truly abject performance today which was so predictable. We haven’t played well for weeks. The bubble has burst and DP needs to go. He’s not a good enough coach on many levels.

Warrington go get a proven winner and stop taking chances.

You really have no arguement or reply to counter anything I’ve said other than suggesting I’m drunk or a muppet which says to me I can’t be that far wrong.

How long do we give a coach? A year and a half to a one obviously!

Obviously talk of sacking Powell is a little OTT bit I can understand where the anger and frustration is coming from.

At the start of the season we looked like we'd solved some perennial flaws - poor goal line defence, lack of go-forward and ill-discipline, but the team of the last 7 rounds is nearer to the disaster of 2022 than the new dawn of 2023.

Team selections are increasingly baffling, but we are still joint top and have it all to play for. But make no mistake, we are in a slump and are regressing significantly.
