Les Boyd, Nat Wood and Adrian Morley singing "hungry like the wolf"

Then Karl does a Delia and shout "let's be avin ya" to the South Stand

That is beautiful and may just do the trick.

It’s tiresome. There should be no noises coming out of the club this week and all focus should be on Thursday’s game. The fans have been there all season, it’s about time the players and coaches turned up.

One post was "the business end of the season is here" or some other trite comment.

Middleton should just leave 5000 euros in each of their lockers and have done with it.

I seem to recall he wasn't the quickest at turning around, let's hope there is a Powerpoint on the subject.

Just looking at form.

Toulouse have won 3 of their last 6 games. We have won 1.

Their last win being over Leeds on 16th July, ours at Magic weekend the week before.

As a Wakey fan, yes I know, for some reason we won three games against you, I know what watching poop is from a squad who most days, don’t seem to give a fig. I think Houles looked slightly beaten after the HKR loss and I hope you put 40 past them, selfish reasons too. Obviously, if we survive, there is no contest who I would prefer to visit a refurbed Belle Vue. 1000 Wire fans or 4 Toulouse fans!
Good luck Wire, you’ll get this one.

P.s.
Here’s a memory for you, 1982/3. Driving to Wilderspool in the snow to watch Wally Lewis. George Williams and Jacob Miller haven’t half his class put together.

I wonder if the management have misunderstood that being a Championship side is not the same as being a Champion side.

Eugh God, now Dufty's putting it on the fans.

I'm close to lacing my old boots up at this rate.

I have never been more desperate for a season to end, nor been so disappointed in my team. Made worse by the fact that at the start of the season I wanted TO to survive.

The game hasn't kicked off, but it feels like the fans are already the reason for justifying a defeat.

Luckily ,there could be a timely excuse with tomorrow's red hot weather conditions . Will Toulouse cope better than us ? Should sound good on sky .

Yep - weather, short turn around, injuries, pressure, bad fans, bad apples, bad decisions, rub of the green, etc etc

I think Karl can cancel the order for the Season Review DVD.

If I had grandkids I could use it to scare them into obedience…but I don’t!

This is the team tomorrow:

Dufty
Wrench
Mata’utia
Wardle
Ashton
Williams
Ratchford
Mulhern
Clark
Harrison
Currie
Nicholson
Holmes

Walker
J.Clark
Bullock
Mikalele

That team(if they have the right attitude)should be pummelling Toulouse. No excuse tomorrow.

Harsh on Thewlis if true.

Fucking hell, now Daryl's come out again putting it on the fans. Starting to me off now. Concentrate on your own prep, we're alright thanks.

I agree, but I'm not enamoured with Mulhearn and Harrison as the starting props. Of late, they just din't seem to get us on the front foot from the off.

Pack yardage last week was a big problem. Mikaele and bullock make us look better when they come on but Harrison is too light at the minute and mulhern is not a great meter maker. We had to kick from deep most of the time, which would be fine if we had a half with a good varied kicking game, but we don't. The halves that we have really need to be kicking from the 30 or closer to be effective IMO and we find it very difficult to get them there.

I don't really think it is, not had the best run in defence not helped out by the whole team not really defending, but I think a few games out won't do him any harm. Powell has kept him in the team after a few iffy games I think now is a good game to give him a break and maybe some time to work on areas Powell thinks he needs to improve on.

We cannot call out a coach for having irreplaceables and then not be happy when a player is dropped for having a few below standard games.

He has no problem dropping the players he didn't bring from Castleford.

He was left out against Huddersfield for having a few below standard games, reinstated last week, in which he was one of our better performers, so to drop him again would be a bitter pill. Top meter maker, made one of our two clean breaks and looked lively and willing on the ball.

Wrench struggled on kick defence, but all round game was good, worked hard and no errors as such. I do think Thewlis would be a safer bet than him in truth.

The worst performer in the backs last week was Wardle. Multiple errors, no significant yardage. But I expect him to stay in the team. I think Ashton, Wrench and Thewlis are in hat to get dropped, which is a shame as they are our high energy players.
