But he can barely get a look in at Brisbane, who we beat. Therfore, he can't be that good.

Is he good enough to get in our back line?

He is......

But so is Kevin Penny. .....

I'm ok with being linked with Meade he shouldn't cost the earth and is more likely to be a Chris Hicks type signing for us . ..

We had to rely on the crowd jeering Danny brough to beat Huddersfield. The team nearly lost it.

It's not a matter of "hate", that sounds infantile. It's that some of us share he view that Tony Smith, as good as he was in his early tenure, has reached the end of his life cycle with Warrington. This is evidenced by our poor performances, league position, and squad makeup. I don't believe many people are that encouraged by our wins over Widnes and Huddersfield.

Notwithstanding this I thank Tony Smith for the 2009-2012 period where we played the best rugby I have seen us play.

TS relied last season on two gambles that didn't pay off, they almost did but didn't! The resulting issues is that the team is lacking the all-round quality of previous seasons. Recruitment has been poor over the last three seasons, depth of the squad is lacking as a result. We have some genuinely good prospects coming through, but need to backed up with quality.

TS pulled us up to stand tall with the elite, we know from bitter experience that we haven't crossed the GF line with a win which hurts, but like others I thank him for the effort.

I don't really want him out, but he really does need to overhaul this squad and bring top quality players in to support the talent coming through. I look at him and think that he is lost at present and that is not a good image to project.

give us a forecast for the Wakey game then.
they have bigger better forwards, faster backs, they have more creative half backs. ....and the crazy mothers even have the gall to have a winger on each wing

We play terrible rugby.
It's a poor squad, the replacement of top quality players has been woeful.
We have a jobs for the boys set up that just doesn't bode well. see saints for another example. ..Christ we even have a former water carrier as a chief executive.
Tony Smith is answerable to no one hence him not being concerned for his job while overseeing a disgraceful run of results.

Our hooker is out for the Wakey game ...In times gone by we could call on mickey Higham and Jon Clarke to cover Michael Monaghan. .... We now have Brad Dwyer. Or guess what ? a Tony Smith special. ..a utility player

Hater ...? Never in a million years but hopefully I'll always be able to tell the difference between quality and absolute poop....
