Though when Wire get beat, it's rare that the opposition get much credit on here, it's more often 'we didn't turn up', 'weren't at the races today', etc, etc. As well as it being Jon Clarke's fault.

very true but same could be said of our defeats at home by the cats and hull some on here were blaming the ref for the hull defeat and we did`nt perform against cats,,but its true tho listened to that bell offiah last night and he said more about bradfords concerns and not praising us for clocking over 50 pts again..by the way i seen briers try coming off solomonas pass..quality

I'm not bothered about the lack of prasie. I'm happy for us to just go about our buisness quietly and keep on winning, and if we do so the praise will come at the end of the season.

A poor losing team will always be the poor team. The victor will never get the chance to show what they would have done had the poor side made them play in anything other than second gear!

Thanks, good luck in your season hope you enjoy your time in Warrington

This is paranoia in the extreme. Warrington are always being talked up. In fact from the days when we were consistent failures, all we ever heard from the media was "is this Warrington's year for glory". We are like Newcastle United, no matter how well or badly we are doing we are always a story.

Wait till the Challenge Cup starts on the BBC, who like to deny the Super League exists because they don't have the rights to it, BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONS Warrington Wolves start their search for THREE IN A ROW of rugby leagues MOST FAMOUS TROPHY. What do you think Brian Noble? "yeah Warrington are a fantastic offensive team, if you don't shape up, they'll punish you..."

You actually are Brian Noble and I claim my £5!

unless its saints or wigan..heard them on sky yesterday going overboard about the quality of saints youngsters

cause we are warrington and are hated.
hope the keighley fans have a good day out nice to hear fans who like are style of rugby.

we are not hated at all.

christ almighty..... im sure some of you lot think we're Millwall or something.

Offiah did not have three good words to say about us on Sunday night..in fact I wasn't actually sure we featured in the match.

offiah?? wouldnt listen to anything that dweeb says about us anyway,

One thing is for sure, we are the entertainers of superleague, 81 tries in only 13 games so far this season.

Well the bit in bold is true at least!! (ermm, umm, ahhh.......)

he really is very poor...surely there is somebody better than him to do this job...let Brian Carney have a go!

I'd have Jon Wells do it, he's a great summariser during the live games, and anything is better than Martin "erm" Offiah!

Is it only me who finds Jon Wells really dull and boring? Gets on my nerves with some of his 'stats'.

Offiah is brilliant, if he was polished he'd be crap.

"Warrington, arr, going in there, arr, Wayne Bridge."

Genius.

Colemanballstastic.

No! Please! Anyone but Carney, with his "I'm an articulate Irishman, please take me seriously" persona.

Sky need to take a look at how many they employ

Stevo
Eddie
Clarke
Cullen
Barry
Terry
Carney
Wells
Powers
Studd
Arthur
Offiah
and the majority of those are match day based
How many opinions do we actually need?

Watching boots n all the tries Terry & Barry were very complimentary about us ( especially Terry ). I think the media generally like us and our style of play and a lot of people on here like the idea that we may be hated when there is no substance to it.

Relax and enjoy the ride - we are who we are and if we carry on as present we will be a team to be feared and admired for some time yet. By the way whilst I am here can I make a formal request that should we go all the way and win this thing that next season the south stand do not sing " thats why wer'e champions " every time we score against somebody - it is cringeworthy and pathetic.

I wouldn't say we're hated now, as we've started (at last) to have some success over the last couple of years.
Contrast this to when we went for YEARS without any trophies, despite having decent players.
When we won Sky matches, Eddie & Stevo would give us praise, through gritted teeth. But whenever we lost....ooohhh were we for it.
Now we're winning things again, these media types are cosying upto us, a bit more. Funny that, isn't it. Media teams wanting to praise you (might have something to do with wanting interviews, inside gossip etc)
Fair enough, it may still sound (to some) like it's still through gritted, but until we reach the level of achievement of Leeds, Saints and Bradford (in the SL era), it's going to pretty much stay the same.

Oh, and that last bit of Pete B's above. SPOT ON.
Evertime Stains whooped it up us in the last minutes of a game, and THAT chant came out, I wanted to commit mass murder on a scale that would have made Hitler look like a novice. Cringeworthy doesn't even come close.
SHOULD we win SL any time soon, that "chant" won't be leaving my lips.

The chant that winds me up is 'have you ever seen the Wire win the league?'

Hopefully consigned to the dustbin just like the ' oh w--ky w--ky'

I thought we always got a lot of positive press from the Sky crew when Cullen was in charge. When DVDV was there, Stevo was always critical of us and it used to amuse me how Stevo used to say the same things about Warrington that we were saying about ourselves, but the Wire fans hated him for it. At the start of one season on Boots and All somebody had emailed in to say "ask Stevo how he thinks Warrington will go this season" and Stevo just said "they'll struggle", the Wolfweb forum was full of our fans going "we're gonna make Stevo eat those words, he gives us no respect"....no Stevo was just saying what we all knew, and we did struggle. Stevo used to always say "it surprises me that Daryl Van de Velde is still the coach of Warrington" which again was a view shared by lots of Wire fans.

Fast forwards to the Cullen era, when Cullen was in the Sky studios every week, and Eddie, Stevo and particularly Phil Clarke used to talk us up, Clarke went through a stage of saying "on their day Warrington play the best attacking rugby in the competition, even better than St Helens". But when we played badly, not once did Eddie and Stevo ever question the coach, or call for him to be sacked like Stevo used to with DVDV. Probably because if they did, Cullen would have blown his top and never gone on Sky again and they needed him as a pundit. Notice how Salford rarely got a real roasting by the Sky crew either...because they've been McRae's mate for 15 years.

This is the bias that comes in when you get existing coaches as pundits.

There are pluses and minuses about having coaches and ex players as pundits - obviously they understand the game and can give insights from the inside, but you hear biased views because they have their mates still involved with the game so they are never impartial.
