I trust Tony Smith, John Bastian, Richard Marshall, Gary Chambers et all to make the right decisions.

Harrison 21, Mitchell 20, Blythe 20, Riley, 21, Cooper 20, Penny 21.

sorry you are right Hurst is a centre and quite right he is a great one. I meant to say Murphy at fullback, he also is a great prospect. Give them a run out I say and they will benefit for the experience.

As I say, trust in those in charge - past records show they know what they are doing. And as others have said, we already have our best youngsters in the squad and we are still not winning. The step up from reserves to SL is pretty big, so needs to be handled carefully.

Clearly its one of those situations that needs perfect timing - or injury crisis of course. Penny provides the perfect example of not rushing a young lad too quickly so to speak. After a great start he began to show his lack of experience and as usual our fans showed no patience in letting him grow in experience. Mistakes will come with the young uns due to lack of SL match play. That said our 'experienced' guys didn't do that much better.

I agree with those of you who suggest Smith and co know when to bite the bullet and give a young lad a go. At the moment the ones who have earned that trust are indeed playing - as mentionned.

This is why I did clap at the end of Monday's game. I clapped Harrison for his continuous hard work and support play, I clapped Blythe who found a few gaps. I also clapped the likes of Westwood who as usual ran his blood to water.

If I were involved with the training of the youth lot I wouldn't pick them at the mo. The booing is enough to put any young kid off the game full stop. Even our seasoned players don't have that hard a skin.

Invariably youngsters are introduced when a team is in a rich vein of form, it enables the senior players to carry them through without too much pressure. Putting them in at the minute would drain them of confidence almost immedialtely. An experienced player like King had his confidence shot to pieces, what would a youngster's be like?

look back through the successful teams during the super league era and you will find good imports,solid,experienced top tier english players and a sprinkling of talented youngsters.
every thread is saying don't do this,don't sign these,we need that not this.
tony smith knows what he needs to win honours,the staff he has around him will help develop what talent we have here,tony smith will move on what he regards as surplus and simon moran will do his utmost to bring in what players his coach thinks fit the bill.
it will not happen overnight but it will happen,lets just support our team through this tough but transitional period.

tache you are a man in the know.

any vibes on whether smith will be bringing in new recruits for this season?

Agreed 100%,well said tash.........

What about Lowes ? He is 2nd in command afterall.

we will make a signing before the end of the season,a very good one too.

What exactly is his role now. is he just TS's yes man? does he have any input?
Is he part of the problem or part of the solution? Does he want out or does he see himself as part of something up and coming?

my last post was a reply,having re-read it it looks like a statement out of the blue,i stand by it but i don't want to have to justify it or explain about it to anyone.
lets look forward to friday.

First Team Coach. I suspect he is the left hand of TS and responsible for implementing the day to day tactics required to meet TS's wider strategy.

What i mean is does he get to put his own point across or does he just go yes tony no tony ok tony

I presume he is a valuable member of the coaching team as Tony Smith wouldn't have him in it.

Lots and lots of new faces on here,

and not one of them have said hi guys i hav nt posted on here before.

Yes for next season.So what YOU are saying in your statements sounds like to me put up with what we have got.

You would expect the club to be looking to make a signing or two for this season if they possibly could. Suppose we will have to just wait and see and hope we pick up some points with the players we've got in the meantime

How do you know if he will be good until he arrives and plays some games for the club? Surely you mean their potential is good? I will never judge an overseas player on reputation again and neither should any other supporter.

he's not an overseas player,following warrington for the last 35 years i think i'm a good enough judge to know who can do a job down here.

How long before we get this player?

They have posted here before, they are all Casual Des

In reference to this Tache. I have heard tonight that Huddersfield have shown in an interest in one of our players. Dont know if you have heard the same as you seem to be in the know. Dont want to mention any names on here or justify it as you seem to get cynical comments straight away.

If Smith rates Lowes then that should be the endorsement he needs to stay on, its better for Lowes whos still a novice coach that he does his apprenticeship under one of the best like Brian McDermott did.

The stuff about changing the backroom staff has been done to death before, remember how when Paul Darbyshire was here everybody used to say what did Darby do, we needed to get rid, needed to get a bigger name in who'd won things.

Since Darbyshire left to go to RU in Ireland our performances have dropped big time. I wonder whether he was the big burden that he was made out to be on this forum....
