I kind of wish we had played them a game or two after Tony Smith had come in.

New coach syndrome and our form made it close last week. I would imagine had we played them last night it could have been an almost illegal battering.

If TS didn't know the size of the task before, he does now. Ironically the defeat comes at the hands of his old number two at Leeds, Brian McDermott.

It will take some time and changes to a lot of personnel (Briers included for mine) to get Warrington competitive again.

Didn't know the score until I just looked at this

I'm in shock!

Have just come back from watching Quins play really well, one of those games where things just click, Danny Orr was outstanding as was Will Sharp and most of the pack. Having said that Warrington would have made pretty much any side look great today. They were really poor, nothing they tried worked and after about 30 minutes whatever confidence they may have had was gone. Smith faces a real task to make anything of the shower I saw today. I felt really sorry for the fans who had made the long trip - not because Wire lost (long may that continue) but for the gutless effort they had to endure watching.

We played pretty well but Warrington were catastrophically bad. Wire fans baying for blood at the final whistle. Matt King sighted allegedly giving the finger to fans on the coach afterwards.

Spot on from Highbury Rhino. Couldn't have summed it up better myself.

I don't believe that Smith has the where with all to turn this Wire side around. When he came to Leeds he had a side waiting to be lead. Wire are in total melt down and the players seem to rule the roost which will take longer than 2 years to cure.

Best of luck Tony!

You might be right. Our club had to nearly go bust and sign old men from 0Scarborough Pirates before we turned it round.
