I guess most of this irritating complaining is purely down to disappointment at not beating a weakened Leeds team. Well done to them and what a goal kicking show from Kevin Sinfield. We should try and sign him

If the players are fully committeed and the rugby is entertaining what have we got to complain about?
Wembley last year - semi-final again this year and looking like a top four finish - some people are never satisfied!

And I will say it again and again

until we have a top class goal kicker and are beating the likes of Wigan Saints and Leeds 50% of the time we wont win a GF no matter how exciting and entertaining we are

We have had a good season so far and we could still win the GF but not without beating the top teams which have regularly failed to do

well said we lost to saints, wigan, leeds X" all on goal kicking, if we had a pat richards we'd of beat them alll.

only hull kr have outplayed us this season...

some people on here it was a result what could've gone either way and sinfield won it for leeds. don't forget we did have carvell and myler out and them losses start to show against top teams (especially carvell)

Interesting to see Carvell, Myler and Clarke play in the academy game yet Carvell was fit enough to play a part in the Bradford game the week before. Hate to say it but our forwards looked like they were out of juice
long before the hooter went.

wire2004 in something vaguely resembling an intelligent post shocker!*

*Only vaguely mind.

I remember when we always used to beat Wigan in the league in 80's, that never did anything for us trophy wise...
Wigan only lost twice in the league 1987 and both times it was to Warrington....that didnt mean anything as they then went on to beat us in the JPS final and the premiership final of the same year.....and they won their first league title for 27 years

granted to win superleague we are going to have to beat at least one of saints Wigan or Leeds....but that will be in knock out rugby and we havent done too bad in that recently....

tbh guys i think one thing is obvious.

You need to drop Briers. The guy's past it and seeing as he's your fulcrum, limits you as much as he gives. With Myler & Monaghan in the halves, and Higham & Clarke alternating at hooker, you'll get over the whitewash a lot more.

I also think your pack needs toughening up-Solomona, Morley, Carvell & Westwood are all good, but you need 1 or 2 more top bruisers to take you to the next level.

possibly the funniest thing i've ever read

Sorry but i don`t agree with that, the game was riddled with unforced errors and some poor defence. Leeds are the team that comes out with any sort of praise from that game, they had 6 first teamers missing plus both Lee Smith and Ryan Hall picked up injuries during the game.

We should have been a lot further in front at half time, only errors and a lack of composure kept Leeds in the game during that first half. Fair play to them for the grit they showed during that 2nd half, we just wasn`t composed enough or mentally tough enough as a team to win that game yesterday.

We took quite a few wrong options like the Leer Briers short kick off plus quite a few panick passes that lead to errors, Ben Harrison needs to learn when its the right time to offload and not at the beinning of the tackle count in an impossible looking situation.

we could of been 24-6 up at half time i think we'd of won the game by that

Agree with the original poster. I felt like hitting the bloke stood infront of me yesterday. Six minutes in he shouted "you're disgusting Wire" and other words to that effect. This continued for 80 minutes...

PATHETIC PATHETIC PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would anybody like to tell me where we were in the league this time last season?????

9TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We finished 9 NINETH!!!!!!!!!!

We are now fighting for topspot and we are not good enough????????

Stupid people with stupid expectations, I am amazed at how well we have done so far this season and I am proud of my team. I will be a very happy person if we finish the season 6th because it would be a massive improvement on last season.

If you have expectations so high that you can't take a NARROW defeat from a top club in a fantastic, exciting enjoyable game of rugby league then I am sure you will fit in nicely at Wigan or Saints! You are not worthy of wearing our colours and I wish not to be tarred with your disgusting negative brush!

It's perfectly reasonable to have expectations of winning/competing to win the league. Being happy with 6th with our squad is a little unambitious in my view.

I think people are just concerned that despite our league position, which shows us to be the current 2nd best side in the league, we seem to be lacking the ability to win against a top side this season such as Wigan, Leeds or Saints.

Furthermore those who watch Warrington regularily will have noticed that our performances since Huddersfield in the CC QF have not been quite as impressive.

Having said that I trust TS to remedy.

As a neutral I really enjoyed that game yesterday. I thought Wire were the better side in the first half, but credit to Leeds for the way they fought back.

Probably like the Wigan v Saints game a simple missed chance (Richards for Wigan and Riley for Wire) were game changers.

All in all two great weekends for our sport (especially after watching the football) and with eight games left I'm sure there will be a few more twists in the plot.

Anyone of Wigan, Wire, Saints or Leeds can win the Superleague title, and I'm not ruling out Huddersfield putting a bit of a run together.

It's probably been the most competitive league we have had for years.

finding it quite bizzarre that wire fans complaining 2nd in the league and surely another wembley trip on the horizon GET A GRIP

Well said that man

i always wondered if you read your own stuff prior to posting.

Now I know.

You want to take a leaf out of your own book and reflect this upbeat nature on your facebook you misog

My FB is my sounding off site, i'm happy on the inside

I fully understand this obsession with beating the 3 'top' teams. But surely this is better than being turned over by 'lower' teams - which all 3 of the 'top' teams have succumbed to? Personally I thought in the first half we were the better side. Leeds likewise for the second. Thus same amount of tries, kicking being the difference.

I would love to see Warrington come out and play a perfect game each week but they are not machines. Having watched a number of Saints, Leeds and Wigan games on Sky this year, neither are they perfect.

I for one am still smiling at the prospect of possibly making Wembley and my team being 2nd in the league. Thank you lads.

I for one agree with the first poster and disagree with the media and opposition fans alike. Ok, so we haven't beaten Leeds, Saints or Wigan as yet but the margins of loss in each of these games has been minimal.

I watched the game again last night, without my beer soaked bias from Sunday, and can honestly say there was nothing between the two sides. Eddie and Stevo banged on about a Champion side retaining composure etc etc and maybe there was an element of that involved, but I seriously think we had enough opportunites to win it. I'm not knocking Leeds, they did enough the win the game in the end, but if a couple of incorrect ref decisions had gone our way, Monaghan had backed himself, Riley had caught the ball, Atkins didn't throw two wild passes into touch and Briers kicked all goals....we would have won.

Fact is, all of these items were nothing to do with Leeds. And when you look at things that way you can clearly see we have the ability to beat all these title contenders.

With Saints we fell short on kicks, again nothing to do with Saints.

With wigan we knocked on with their line begging, ok yes this was down to pressure in the defensive line but again, its something that could have come off for the win.

The long and the short is that yes, we have come up short in these games but they have been more down to our own mistakes rather than being outplayed and not even contesting the win.

Head up lads, we'll get there!!

Erm, this time last season we were 7th, not 9th.

And we finished 10th.
