After the unhappiness he caused the delightful Helen Skelton, he deserves all the s..t that comes his way....odious little turd.

Come on Wire fans. We're fighting for our lives at the moment. We have to do what we can to try and win, it wasn't really our problem that your administration made an error.

Both Burgess and Myler with laugh about it in time (if they haven't already)

Both guys want to do best by their teams and it's great to see the passion of both.

Big Sam is doing great with you so far. I'm tipping him to bring you the challenge cup this year judging on your quater final performance. You look like a team that can perform to a high standard when it counts.

Those are fair comments and I wish no ill against Hull. Remember though that Myler, as well as being a love rat, is an ex-Warrington player who has spoken quite openly about his bitterness at being let go and always gives it the big celebration when one of his teams beats us. He will always have few friends on here (and I say that as someone who rated him as a player more than most on here did).

This is a rather bizarre quote ? Thewlis is' not particularly big, but seems to put his body on the line on a regular basis. I would say this is probably the reason he has picked up quite a few head injuries in his short career with us. When he gets a knock he is surely entitled to stay down to recover, but I can't see any 'drama queen' in there at all. What specific actions leads you tho think he is acting up ?

I think it was an attention seeking posy WO. On the other hand SB did make a similar comment about Dufty!

It's not the decision I'm referring to here, it's the actions of Myler giving a sly dig to Burgess in the tunnel. He's in a leadership role at the club, and should set the standard. Is this what Hull can expect from him going forward? Shame the new investor wants jobs for the boys... I have a feeling it won't last long though.

Good luck BTW, no ill feelings towards the Hull club from us.

I don't know the system whereby the squad is given to the RFL but in every squad I have seen in public viewing Holroyd is in it & Wrench is not. Unfortunately I cannot find news of the Wire squad on the HULL FC website. But my guess is Myler would know our squad with Holroyd in but thought I'll play tough on this one. Silly ... I reckon he needs as many friends as he can muster at the moment ... so why be a dick? He's going to come a cropper.

Myler binned his family to get with the daughter of a multimillionaire and as such he has sorted his future out. If you expect favors off such a leech, you're going to wait a fair while.

I doubt you'll see any short term loans to Hull like Bullock and Russell from us or Leigh any time soon

Yes it just a bit of a d*ck move. If wed have done it id have been disappointed.

Yes we need to be disappointed that the sheet didnt get to the RFL but knowing them it probably had to be faxed!

Its a shame because Ritchie/hull pulled a smart transfer with Asiata and thats what people should be talking about, not a sh*thouse move that may have endeared him slightly to his own support but makes the rest of the us think rat.

In his role as others have said you will need good relations for teansfers loan etc and i think this short sighted move will come back to bite him.

Nothing against Hull as was Ritchies call but as the Hull fans sang He shags who he wants, just dont expect big sam to bend over and take it.

Not to offer a case for Myler, but we don’t know what was said. The facts that we do know are that someone at Warrington messed up, and that Burgess barged the DoR of another club in the tunnel in front of the cameras. If that was Wellens, or Peet or literally anyone else we’d be saying how petulant they were. Burgess needs to wear it. He can’t get wound up by little things like that.

I do agree with the sentiment of his point, about using player welfare as a little sticker of achievement when it suits, then taking interchanges away as a sanction for a trivial matter. The RFL can’t have it both ways. But it’s our mess, so we have to take the medicine.

I must sat that Thewlis's swerve impresses me & it is a regular weapon of his to open up defences. Tai looks a pretty solid player & pretty good at delaying his passes to Thewlis.

I'm basically saying he fakes the severity of some of the shots he takes. He's won us a fair few penalties by staying down for an exceeding amount of time until the ref calls a halt. It gets looked at and we get a penalty, then Thewlis is back up and on with it, the other night being the exception where he clearly did need to come off. Just something I've noticed at points over the past couple years.

Yes i've been pretending to be a Wire fan for the past 15 years on this board, just a sleeper cell during that time waiting for the day I could reveal myself via an observation on Josh Thewlis lol. I said he was a wet wipe in that prior post because it was another time I noticed him staying down every time he got tackled. At that time I must have thought he was a mard but now I think he does it on purpose I guess.

It's not really a massive sticking point. He's a fantastic player and I hope he's in our team for many years to come.

Was there any particular reason why Myler was bitter towards his manner of leaving Wire?

Surely it's a case that he was let go because his contract was up and the club thought they had better options or wanted a different type of player so didn't offer him a new one, or maybe offered him one on reduced terms?

That's the nature of professional sport and happens every year.
Whilst affected players may be disappointed it comes with the territory.

True. Then again, it wasn't really our problem when you were desperate for players a few weeks ago, but we still sent you two established first-teamers on loan.

Maybe they’re still hacked off with us that one of them was Russell?

Disappointed that Tony Smith got sacked before he signed Russell on a season long deal.

Personally I think it's pretty crap that someone is suggesting josh is feigning injury, there are some players that just get hit high due to their running style.

Remi casty at catalans, james donaldson at Leeds, absolutely guaranteed they would win you one or two pens a game due to receiving high shots.

That being said, in the current climate of head injuries and the fallout, thewlis would make an excellent and obvious candidate for the cte/trauma specialists to monitor his whole career to see his progression

Id definitely never be using the words ‘wet wipe’ and ‘mard’ to describe Josh Thewlis…..he’s a tough little bugger. May need to work on how he goes into contact (or wear headgear as others have suggested).

Leigh have recalled Chamberlain from his loan at Hull

Oh yeah he is tough, he just pretends he isnt until the whistle goes for a penalty lol.

Probably predictable after the Asiata announcement.

Ok. Let's take 4 example games. London are terrible and out no pressure on our kickers. We had 7 kicks behind or not far past the half way. 6 of those went straight to hands. The 7th could have possibly been taken on the full by a better FB than walker.

Hull KR away. 9 out of 14 long kicks went straight to their players. 3 of the 5 kicks that didn't were Williams interestingly.

Cas at home. 3 kicks from range and they all went to hands.

I could go through each game from this season but I really don't want to. I think this is enough evidence to show that our long range kicking game isn't good so we probably shouldn't criticise Drinkwaters kicking when he plays and takes long kicking duties.

I wouldnt disagree that Drinkwaters and Hayes kicks placement are similar I'd argue that Hayes kicks longer. He certainly kicks longer from pentalties.

I'd think the big part of the issue for Drinkwater is hes a quota player on a reasonable wage, that a young player has come through and was/is playing arguably better certaintly at least as good as him.

I also feel that the number 7 role for us in the current system is a little thankless, do well it probably will get unoticed, do badly and it will, as Williams and Dufty run the show, so i have some sympathy for Drinkwater and I do feel the better games for him have come when Williams isnt playing.I dont know if feels overawed or something.
I think that Hayes comes in with less expectation so his performances have been received better.
I hope Drinkwater smashes it this year and goes out with a bang.

On second viewing:
Philbin had a very decent game (took some good flat passes) & Tai put some effective low tackles in. Both improved their chances of remaining in the team.
Drinkwater nice clean break from nothing to set up Williams try & involved in others.
Dufty is being asked to do too much in attack for his own health & won't last. We must reduce his work load if we want to keep him playing every week. This idea of using him as a battering ram on the 5th Tackle will end in tears.
The conditions were absolutely appalling & made it much easier to defend.
