No offence. I think this legend is more suited to the nrl way of playing than the superleague way of playing when coaching.

I've always been in the minority. And whether I'm right or wrong. His attacking play was diabolical when he came aboard to the coaching set up.

Remember he was given the job when Willie poaching left with a certain assistant coach who has since vanished. The performance of the team in my view declined significantly from the point he was actually playing. And then under Steve price. Did not do anything to significantly improve the performance of the team. It turned into 5 drives and a bomb.

I genuinely think his coaching philosophy is more suited to the nrl than the superleague.

If it’s true that DP let the players ‘chill’ all week before the most important game of the season so far, he should be given his marching orders first thing in morning.

That first half performance, looked extremely chilled, not one of them looked arsed or interested. It was like they’d all been out on the lash the night before.

Unbelievable!

Has DP never heard about Wigan week?

I'm also getting a bit concerned with the performances of Paul Vaughan who doesn't seem the same. Big game next week.

What credit has he got? We are worse than when he took over ffs!

We need to go all out to get the dream team back.

Andy gatcliffe, Tony Smith and Willie poaching.

Give me another period in the last 20 years where warrington have been as competitive and consistent with these 3 in charge. And coaching the team.

The team we have now is equal if not higher rated in proportion to the Smith teams. And yet. The performances we see now are no where near on par compared to any team performance we have had in the last 20 years. We should consistently be challenging with the players we have. But yet we are seeing mediocre performances that are worse than anything Steve price produced as coach. Dispite how much we complained about his performances as a coach. Imagine what Tony Smith can do with these players.


The team we have now is way, way behind the 2011/2012 team in my view.

Indeed in the last 11 years since that side we have won 1 (one) challenge cup.

I am afraid that we have regressed since Price.

My biggest hate with Wire, is how from minute 1, the backs take on the driving the ball out from our own line.
What is the point of having forwards!?

If you were able to read Mo, then you'll see I haven't defended him today - it was poor, no excuses.

I am impressed however that you've managed to spell tool correctly.

Btw, you've still not removed your passport photo from your forum ID.

We're 2nd in the table. What does it say about the coaches of teams lower than us if we sack Powell.

We could get Milward, Hanley or Mcrae in :lol:

Because they are getting ready to ruin the 4th play option ?

If the backs are making meters then it's all good but when they are getting smashed and driven back the forwards must put their hands up and do something about it.

Players aren't performing simple as, they aren't being coached to drop balls, and have no passion, that's down to the players. It's the same coach we had at the start of the season when we we're winning.
Unfortunately we don't have the quality of back up players to drop most of the first team so we're stuck between a rock and a hard place. I do agree since Mikaele left our forward pack hasn't been anywhere near as good, we haven't over ran a team for awhile now.
