Have you read any posts by your own fans lately?

I am not making a comment about the better team, or players. I am asking a genuine question.

If questions like this upset you, then fair enough.

Have a look at Warringtons score prediction thread on this forum, 2nd post down. It seems to me if anyone says Warrington can win, one of your lot pop up with some stats time and time again......these stats mean nothing come the game on Saturday, its like some of your fans think you cant lose because Huddersfield have better stats than Warrington. Thats just the way some are coming across.

wasn't saying he was an 'ok' coach r kid or that your squad is no good in fact what i meant was the opposite

brown is obviously a good coach because he has turned hudds into a good, consistent outfit

i was simply observing that he once had a team including barrett, gasnier, cooper, ryles, timmins (much bigger names at the time than anyone you have got now, no offence intended but they were top nrl/origin/kangaroo names) and i thought that the drags didn't cut it consistently and often 'choked' because browny wasn't a great coach back then

maybe some coaches work better with different sets of players e.g. cullen did his best work with appos and nat woods not with monaghans and kings

maybe he was just young and inexperienced back in those days

maybe he has brought some tactics from the nrl that coaches who have been in superleague longer aren't fully wise to yet e.g. wrestling moves

Good assessment that chief.
How that team in 05 didn't win it I don't know

Daft thread this IMO.

The two teams are too close to call - both got great coaches and team spirit....

Surely, Huddersfield and Wire fans shouldn't be bickering like this - OK, if it was us V Saints or The Giants V Leeds then maybe, but these two sets of fans don't have a problem with each other, and little rivalry, which is what should make this a great weekend......again, just my opinion.... :roll:

Be fair I have seen Westwood and Mathers deliver a few forearm smashes - and Mozza in his youth :wink:

I'm not bickering, I am looking for genuine debate, looks like I picked the wrong forum.

Which players do you feel are better than ours in the same position?

Fullback for starters ;)

I think they are two very evenly matched squad really, barring fullback I think the 3/4 line is pretty even

Halfbacks, we have standoffs, you dont seem to at the moment
Scrum half, you will completely dissagree but I think this season both have been on a par, and both are key to making our respective teams tick

Forwards. You have Mozza who is simply superb, but we have Crabtree who is also superb, Mozza has done it before though so has the edge, but we have Mason and Griffin who are clearly dominant over your other forwards

We have better hookers and I think our second rows are equal but you may have a better 13

Most importantly though we have a better bench to my mind.
