We already go to France.

A decent following of away fans and the big match nerves before a game.

It really does. Anything less than 6 points against a struggling Championship club trying to play in the big league simply wouldn't do.

You do realise that this team will not be the team you face don't you?

I will admit that the Wire are looking very strong these days, and your time may be approaching, but do not write us off so easily.

looking forward to the Wire v Widnes banter returning, we've got more too say now.

I used to live in Gloucester

You have my deepest sympathies.

Will you guys be spending at full cap ?

According to Steve O'Connor, yes.

Comes across as a real quality guy. Great figurehead for your club.

once again you have failed to grasp my point, such was its manifestly obvious nature i felt the obvious inference was sufficient. clearly your feeble mind had trouble with it a second time.
first you will have to play us three times. not that hard to work out.

He really does.... Widnes fans have alot to thank him for. I hope you do what he asks and pack your ground out on a regular basis.

The fans go already it would be the clubs job to advertise and get more people in

I think it was pepe who said on another thread they are going to be doing that with quite a big radius

1st i'll save my banter for later.

Ok then i'll predict,

1st year a few batterings but not bottom finish probably 12th, journey men Aussies and current SL fringe players signing

2nd year couple of marquee signings 9th or 10th

3rd year settled squad competing with all but the highest tier

4th year a seriously competitive team

I think the main reason the RFL have let Widnes in is because they see the growth potential of Widnes compared to the rest, SOC's backing should see you become a good side in a relatively short time.
I for one hope that does happen, there are no negatives with a club spending at full cap and a competitive team benefits everyone.

Well done guys i'm actually made up for you with all the crap you've had to go through i look forward to our competitive tussles in the future and will take great joy in the 1st game when we give you a good Superleague welcome, again well done guys, but the niceties will end after this post (cos you iz ze enemy)

Yed™

I’d take that scenario. But I think it may take a little longer before we’re world beaters again. In the words of Paul Cullen in a recent press release:

[i“The Warrington revival started in 2002 and now they are the best team in Super League – that is how long it takes.”[/i

And that’s probably about right. We will hopefully be very competitive before getting to the dizzy heights Warrington are now at though.

My opinion on why it took so long is more the coaching side than the playing side, we've had teams that should have been competitive but just weren't.

The warrington revival started when Cullen got the boot.... Harsh but true..... Actually it started when lowes was relieved of duty.

I agree. More often than not, the coach is the main factor in success. And Warrington have a very good one. I just hope that we make the right decision when we appoint a coach for next year. Whether that be Denis Betts, or not, I have serious doubts atm.

John Kear/Brian Noble ?

Possibly. You never really know how good they’ll be until they’ve been in for a while, but they’re both a pretty sound bet. After last Sunday, I wouldn’t mind pinching Basil from the Leythers.

I bet you're still pinching yourself at the way Smith has turned things around at the Wire so quickly?

Many moons ago i started a facebook group 'Tony smith for Warrington Wolves' (before i ditched it), always knew he'd be the man to turn us around, the guy is a revelation and a brilliant coach, i just hope he feels settled enough to want to stay.

TS is God

Don't you find the shifty way he looks at the interviewers a bit off putting though?

He is like a nervous shoplifter who is about to get the old "5 fingered discount" on a ham joint and a packet of razor blades and is looking for the store CCTV cameras.


I wouldnt trust him

Tony Smith's from the David Blunkett school of interviewing

It shows the level of contempt he has for the muppets questioning his decision making.

It makes me love him more.

They aren't fit to lick the steam of his rose scented sh*t.

Cullen started the revival, Smith took it to the next level IMO.

he started something... i don't think it was a revival.... he brought us attacking rugby.

he didn't bring success or consistency.

Cullen brought us glorious defeats you score 40 points we'll score 38
