No, after those 3, TWP becomes the 1st game.

| Quote ="Wires71"Developing your argument it is worth considering that we have not won a GF in 10 seasons of trying with realistic intentions (2010 onwards). Our other 3 main rival clubs have won multiple GFs in that time frame.
So, surely by deductive logic, either we don't really want it enough, or we desperately do want it but just don't have the capability to deliver it. Has to be one of those two doesn't it? Or have we just been serially unlucky?'"
This “if you want something enough you can get it” seems to be a modern myth amplified by reality tv. I really want to win Euro Millions, I mean really, really and yet still no win.
There are numerous reasons we haven’t won a GF some of them may have been down to bad decisions some bad luck...
The truth is sport is unpredictable

Not winning the lotto is down to probability odds against and wanting has no effect upon odds however many fingers you cross.
Not winning a GF is down to lesser ability where and when opportunity arose.

| Shouldn’t be considering Noble in any role. His success at Toronto, Salford and Crusaders is hardly stellar. Well past his sell-by date for any position.

| Noble was the director of rugby for a club who without recalling players from loan and signing A N Other to play as an amateur, wouldn’t have enough players to fill a team. You’d assume that he would have oversight of the squad, given the title. Pathetic really.
Don’t touch him, his times been and gone.

Yet it has been fairly predictable (ie 100%) in that either Wigan, Saints or Leeds has been in the GF for 22

No Captain Hooks lottery example was not a good example.
I think bad luck may have cost us 1 GF with the injury to Monaghan, but not 4 GFs.
Opportunity, capability, attitude.

| I think my point about the lottery has been misunderstood, I was dealing with the issue of “if you want something enough you will get it” theory. Not the why haven’t we won the GF.

I get the feeling those days are gone.
Murphy In RL
Ferguson in football.
These days, stats, player welfare (especially mentally), a huge emphasis on tactics. Things have gone in a different direction, now.
Granted, Wane is/was a very modern day version of the term "b&stard", but to those he's known for the last decade or so, he's ruled by fear, because people who know him, know him to be a "b&stard".Put him into a different dressing room (in modern times), he'll be hated/ignored/hounded out.
He's not lasted long in Scottish 3 point. Maybe he's upset the kilt wearers.

| The attendances will start dropping quickly as the promise of the first 2 rounds dwindles away. I'm so underwhelmed again about this season, it feels like a write off already as things stand. Absolutely criminal with the creative players and overall quality that we have to be playing the rugby we do.

| I can't believe some (most) of the negativity around Price. Criticism of the style of rugby is really something else. Has nobody noticed any of:
1. New halfback combination
2. Awful weather hardly supportive of flowing rugby where the ball gets sent across the line both left and right.
I note comments along the lines of "hope after the first 2 performances". Well let's remember the weather conditions the first 2 games were a down sight better than the last couple of games. Be patient.
Price was the Messiah after the saints thrashing so some seriously short memories on here.
The team will come good under Price given the opportunity.
If he does go though, who will come in? Shaun Wane no way.

| But we can’t have a great win over Saints and then sit back and be pleased with ourselves for the next month. We have to recreate that performance, especially against teams like Wakefield and Toronto.
I’m not buying into ‘we just need some time’. It’s been ten years.

This is a forum to prompt discussion and points of view.
Brian Noble is looking for a new job I believe?

Come on, I don't think anybodys negativity about the coach are solely down to the first 4 matches of this season! It's practically the entire second half of last season aside the challenge Cup ties. Even quite a few of the earlier rounds when we were winning were a difficult watch from a fans perspective. We've underperformed for a long time before this season even started. After the first 2 games I felt I was wrong but not now.
You're absolutely entitled to keep the faith and fair play to you but seriously its not about the first 4 games.
