I think Superblue may be onto something. It’s the club’s Psychic that is to blame. Why settle for shaking him/her up though. Sack them off and sign a new one preferably with a proven track record and not just comin* from an obscure satellite tv channel looking for a final big pay off.

You seem very comfortable with the underlying losing status quo there,



But how can you say it’s crazy talk, the relegation shock and awe low point experience for Warrington could be the catalyst to drive us on to greatness, couldn’t it

To use an OLD phrase, often used on these pages....

...."great site, lads"

Going back many years who was the idiot poster on here who use to include loads of emojis in their posts before emojis were even a thing?

You do realise that we would have to lose a lot of matches to get relegated don't you? If we went down there is no guarantee that we would even get back to the position we are in now, never mind the lofty heights of winning superleague.

To put it in to context we are bitterly dissapointed in a season where we have finished third in the league and reached the semi finals of the cup. Do you honestly think that we would be closer to winning superleague if we were relegated than where we currently are? We are a coach away, that is all, the right coach will give us the best possible chance of getting over the line, the squad is almost there and so is the financial backing. If our squad reaches its potential we have as good (no better I hasten to add) a chance as saints, Wigan and Leeds or anyon else. The weight of expectation wouldn't matter if the coaching team instilled the belief and tactical application of the squad we have. I think we missed the boat with Holbrook and also Watson, both of those would have been a gamble but in hindsight they would have got the team firing IMO.

Perhaps our problem lies in the length of the season , is it too long for us? We did ok in this season's after lock down games ,although most of our opponents were not at full strength , & we struggled against the top teams who managed to peak at the right part of the season. Last season we had a rapid decline starting pre Wembley . Perhaps 22 games is our limit, just coast along through them & not worry about having to peak to win the games that matter. The loop games are our downfall .

No fan of their team would take them getting relegated under any circumstances, we’ve experienced lows supporting Warrington and I know the generation before me certainly have. We didn’t win a play off game until 2006, we’ve enjoyed relative success since our first challenge cup victory in many a year in 2009 and we should’ve had that elusive grand final win but in sport nothings guaranteed. and although the rugby’s dull at the minute we’re still up there at the right end of the table and I wouldn’t swap that for bleak days In the championship thanks.

did he have a catchphrase: "Rock And Roll"

Three years on and we've been in the Championship for two years ... this forum might be different.

Quote "Remember those wonderful days in Super League. We finished third ... with a decent team and 3 top notch coaches. We seemed to have plenty of money then.
Those were the days eh! ...only appreciate the good times when they are gone."

Yes, beware the ghost of christmas yet to come...

The discussions on this board would be about whether our fans or Widnes fans were responsible for starting more trouble, complaints about Super League clubs being selfish when they voted to cut SL to 8 teams and stop promotion/relegation in response to financial difficulties in the top flight, moans about unfair playing field when Toulouse/Toronto were given special treatment on the salary cap and overseas player rules, rubber duckie telling us we would 'win the lot' if we appointed John Kear as coach, regrets at discovering our "once in a generation" player and watching him leave for SL after tearing up the Championship as a 19 year old and then going on to have a Sculthorpe-esque career with Saints, suspicion over the new takeover consortium headed by Eddie Shah and Derek Hatton offering to buy out the Board and rebrand us as Mersey Wolfs.

Relegation would be the bullet, nothing magic about it.

Joe Anderson is feeling left out

Has he got a horse box and Rolex? *Allegedly

And a Moat

Charnley probably stay, there's a few ex Wigan lads at Widnes be nice for him to have a giggle with them on the pitch after they beat us 30-0 at the HJ.

You can clear out deadwood without being relegated.

Do you need an excuse of relegation, or just to be ruthless?

Just noticed your location, it has definitely impacted on the tone of your posts.

I cannot fathom how relegation could conceivably be anything but a disaster for us.

Craig Bellamy is looking for a “new challenge” from 2022 - I think we fit that bill!

I'd sooner have David Bellamy, than our current incumbent

If Bellamy is as good at managing a families transition to life in the UK as he is an RL team we would be well suited to satisfy his hunger for a new challenge

And to use an older phrase, “ Rugby League is played by men with funny shaped balls “

But unprecedented events gave rise to unexpected outcomes

The material changes are easy and have proved ineffective , it’s the ingrained top division safety mentality that needs the big psychological shock to displace it
