DP: "I wouldn't want to make any excuses with the journey. "You're 20-0 down and you're just wow. You give yourself such a mountain to climb. "Defensively, we're miles off. "I look back through my coaching career and I rarely see five straight defeats. "It's not turning around quickly enough."

In fairness Cooper does try the old ‘give me the bloody ball’ thing, he certainly gave it a go in the Wakefield league game. For me he was a shoo-in for Captain, still baffled why he’s never been considered but I don’t see the inner workings. He is, however, a leader in what he does on field, very articulate and Warrington born.

Wow! Well I have gone and done it. I sat through and watched the whole game. A horrible start to the game, they took advantage and we never recovered. We could easily have lost by more as HKR ran us ragged most of the time with Matt Parcell running the show. I haven't seen us so outplayed for years. Horrible defence around the play the ball.
Couple of their tries at the start of second half could easily have been called for forward passes.
Our best ... probably Bullock & Mata'utia.

Hard to watch but had to be done.

He has been the standout candidate for the captains armband since he came back to the club, I hope the only reason he doesn't have it is that he turned it down.
