| This result will be irrelevant when (if?) you're booking your tickets for OT again so I wouldn't worry.
Just be grateful you'll be avoiding the club call!

I have to agree. Last nights performance and this seasons dullness overall makes me glad that I am not renewing my season ticket for next year.
If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got (TS might do well to remember this)

| Quote ="lefty goldblatt"I was seething watching that pile of chod, last night, but I thought "calm down, Lefty, it wont feel as bad in the morning".
I WAS WRONG............COMPLETE FARCE FROM MINUTE ONE.
As deckchair alludes to, above, our left side defence is comical, and is an accident waiting to happen, every time the opposition have the ball.
I know last night was the time or place for Harlem Globetrotters style RL, but we look totally void of ANY ideas with the ball in hand.
We have Briers, injured again, who hasn't been anywhere near his best this season, given another year's contract. I'm still shaking my head at that one.
Myler, injured again, who unfortunately was in great form at the time.
Monaghan M, who is no more a scrum half, than I am.
Ratchford, who is great in broken play, but isn't creative enough for his team.
BRING BACK O'BRIEN, NOW. We have a crisis (not to put too finer point on it) in the halves. I see no other way of rectifying it.
I feel lower than a snake's belly, atm. Even worse than the Stains 80-0, the Bradford 84-10, but not as bad as the Easter Monday 1995 34-0 massacre v Wigan at home (special mention to Francis Maloney for his all round 5h1teness, that day).It pains me to say it, but our season is petering out before our very eyes, but we can't see it. Since Manchester Magic, we've had a couple of training match "blow-outs" v London and Salford, we limped over the line against severely depleted Wigan and Leeds teams, stuttered to wins over Wakey, Bradford and HKR, and had the implosion that was the CCSF and last night's debacle. Yes, we won all but two of those games, but we've not played well since Myler's injury.
As for the play-offs, who knows.
We are now staring at a potential away game at the PieDome due to last night's "effort". In current form, that doesn't fill me with glee, BUT, Wigan's form is matching ours, scraping over the line to just do enough to win games.
Huddersfield simply poo their pants every time they see us.
Which leaves us with Stains and Leeeeeeeeds. I wouldn't rule out one of them being in Salford on a Saturday night in early October.'"
I missed the above (thankfully) due to my son being born at 14:46 and he contiues with his bad timing
Stains will get to the GF with the help of an excellent young half back they got on loan, Leeds will be their and as usual they will win it

| Couldn't agree more with Lefty's post + it ain't a good sign when Myler's name keeps cropping up as regards to him being missed.Luckily I didn't go last night but if I had I would have been seething at the couldn't be d attitude of most of the team.Never have I seen a Wire team drop/lose so much ball.They all need a back to basics lesson on how to keep hold of it.Let's just hope that was a bad day at the office but my own feeling is OT is a long long way off on that gutless performance.

Fully agree, but it begs one question
if we as fans can all see what needs to be done, why cant Smith????????

Since you lot beat us in the semi final, your fans have been swarming over this site like a tramp on chips. Strange behaviour for a set of supporters that supposedly "don't give a fook about Wire".'"
Are you for real ?
Do you honestly expect me to believe that 10000 FC fans have being stalking this board?
Or in reality its about a dozen or so who probably have some sort of beef with Warrington for some reason.

| Blined by his own smugness about the team. He is a great coach and has done wonders but winning the GF with this team is not going to happen ever.

Not necessarily! Wire win at Wigan week 1, Leeds win at Hudds. We get club call. And probably then have to choose Wigan, Hudds or St Helens! Ouch.

I would imagine having failed to beat a poor Widnes side with 12 men on your own ground, people are curious to what the fans reaction to that would be.

| Certain of a top four place, I think we've now switched off and are cruising towards the end of the regular season. Hard to imagine at the minute that we'll be able to switch on again.
Lose to Saints and Catalan and it's likely we'll be visiting Huddersfield in the playoffs - dangerous game to be playing but I wonder...

"Cruising" more like clueless. Ah well if it is a trip to Hudd's another Ale Trail opportunity

The difference being we were in the cup final the week after, this time we have a week off.

Can't say I disagree with that. I really dislike the current system. I'm not sure how any club, coach, player or fan can have respect for a system that allows an admittedly poor team call themselves champions after finishing 5th. It makes a mockery of RL in my opinion. Why bother playing 28 weekly rounds when ultimately it doesn't matter. Why not just turn SL into another giant knock-out competition like the CC? Being consistently the best team over 28 rounds is the biggest achievement in RL, yet it's ignored by many and sneered at by most. For me, until there is more emphasis and reward placed on LLS I don't see why any team would bother killing themselves for 1st, 2nd or even 3rd spot.

| I was bothered but then this morning am thinking why? Win one Playoff game and we are just 80 mins from the Grand Final again.
Last night was embarrassing due to who we lost to and the fact they had a man sent off but as stated already so was London 12 months ago.
Nothing has changed in 24 hours.

But no matter how the league structure is dressed up as being irrelevant ,the club & the team have an ongoing obligation to the public who pay to be entertained & who pay the wages of everyone connected with the club .

I'd say a 75:25 ratio in favour of trophies, TANCW.
After all, Moran and us speccies have collectively invested a lot of money into this club. I wouldn't say we've become accustomed to success, but we should expect some. The players we have are capable, and have proved it in the past. The entertainment, due to the style of RL we play, is a by product of it.

| I have watched the Wire over the years mainly for the entertainment value of two equally committed teams coming face to face on the pitch with silverware being a rare bonus ,but if the league ,or more importantly the spectators view of the competition ,becomes an irrelevance it will be a very poor RL where fans only see the attraction to turn up for Wembley & the league play offs & OT.

This is pure comedy, you get beat so its the end of renewing season tickets, LMFAO talk about a fickle fan. Try supporting a lower end club, you've had challenge cups in your cabinet and appeared in a grand final last season get a grip. Your not entitled to win every game and certainly not in a glorious style week in week out.
