Louis: Squad want to put things right
 |
| Louis Anderson |
LOUIS Anderson believes the galling nature of Friday's defeat at Wigan has made the squad all the more determined to obtain the right result against Castleford on Monday.
Having led 14-8 at half time at the JJB, everyone involved with Wolves was taken by surprise by second-half events in the 38-14 loss.
Anderson, whose try won the match for Wolves in the dying stages of their Easter Monday fixture at Castleford, says the squad have been doing fitness work this week after such a disappointing second-half display.
He said: "I think we came out in the second half and we were flat.
"We played the first 40 minutes strong and obviously couldn't handle the next 40.
"Losing sucks but that was a hard one because we were in the game right up until half time. We just got too far ahead of ourselves.
"But you put it behind you and have a positive attitude for the next week.
"The win was there and obviously coming out and losing, if it's done anything it's made the players even more hungry to win. That's the attitude in training this week."
And Anderson is keen that Wolves produce better results for the sake of the club and their under-pressure coach.
"I think there's pressure on all of us," he said. "The fans are great supporters to us as players and to the coaching staff.
"They have an expectation obviously to play well and I feel like as a player we haven't been giving them that.
"I think some of us have been disappointed with our own game and our performance.
"You can't blame them for being disappointed.
"We want to do well for Paul Cullen and do well for ourselves. And if we do well for ourselves, it's good for the fans."

What about putting it right for the rest of the season??
Isn't that the Warrington way, lose one, win one we need to be more consistent and the excuses by Mr Cullen are running rather thin!!

All this "it's made us even more hungry" routine was exactly what was said after the Saints defeat. Hungry teams don't concede 30-40 points week after week, I'm afraid.

Good to see halfway through the season the team working on their fitness. Brilliant!

Heard it all before, and before and before. Reading the comments of Lord Hoyle, PC and Mike Parsons in the Guardian today, it seems clear that PC is determined to hang on, and the board have no intention of sacking him. Mike Parsons doesn't believe in changing coaches half way through a season, but no doubt would if we were near the bottom, and relegation still existed.
Paul Cullen did a marvellous job saving the club from relegation, but we are all found out when we try to move up a step. The theory being that we are all promoted to the height of our inefficiency.
The situation appears similar to a manager who can get his team promoted from the football championship to the Premier League, but finds staying in the PL beyond him.
I honestly think that Paul has taken the team as far as he is able.

Just one other point - if league points were awarded for the use of cliches, we would have won the league by now. "Circling the wagons" is one too many.
Old proverb - "fine words butter no parsnips".

Just think... a win over Castleford and everything will be OK.
I think Cullen is a wonderful coach, the players are all role models as professional sportsmen, they're the fittest team in the Super League and the Guardian gives us objective, unbiased reporting.

I just hope that if we do get a resounding win on Monday - as we should even with our injuries etc then the embarrassment of last weeks will not be forgotten. I disagree that the club should be changed 'from top to bottom', however I think it's time for Cullen to go. I for one, am tired of being let down by a team that should by now be enjoying life in the top 4 at least. things need to change quickly.

This is the usual style of managing a crisis and the way that the Guardian reports; drag a different player out of the ranks to state what the fans already know,let him take the flak and appease the fans baying for blood for another week .
As for the Warrington Guardian get one of your reporters to print a story that is based on the raw feelings of the fans and print it instead of being ineffective in promoting positive change for the town and its rugby.
This paper was founded to promote the best interests of its readers get out there and find out what is really going on at our club and print.

Yet again the club will back the coach until the fans speak where it hurts the most at the gates! Have the board forgotten what we fans did when Daryl Van De Velde ran out of ideas? we started to shout for him to quit what happened then? Yes he went the same will happen to PC very soon I for one like him but he is unproven at this level and has been shown to be quite amateurish in his selection of the team.Let the public decide who we want to save our season, a certain Mr Hanley might be a start.

I think Mr Pentop you have made a fundamental error in assuming that the people who write on the comments page are a representation of all Wire fans and all readers of the Warrington Guardian. It would be fair to say that this type of comments page (like people who phone into radio programmes) attracts a “certain type of person”. Some would never dream of joining this sort of forum. The Guardian is right to let people have a say but conclusions should not be drawn from their comments.

Well the problem is that this sort of forum attracts fans and people who do know their rugby and who love the Wire … but it is also true that it attracts agitators from other clubs, some who haven’t a clue about rugby, some who love a lynching party, nutters and others that just go on and on and on! As a result many people with a real insight into how to manage a rugby team are just turned off and so don’t get involved.

Cullen and Hoyle are not then in the category as to how to manage a rugby league team. Im not gloating now, but it is blatantly obvious that the majority of Warrington fans are dissatisfied with the coach and the direction the club is going in: Mr Hoyle, like the government he formerly represented is merely playing politics and ignoring the people who matter - in this case the fans. Even my dog knows a change is needed at Warrington. Nay, essential. Shame on Mr. Cullen. He's now hanging on like a bad smell that isn't wanted.

re. Mick Too personal ... I'm afraid, I think Paul Cullen (and anyone else for that matter) deserves a bit more than that. Please see my earlier post on who uses this forum and see where you fit in! My dog just keeps wagging her tail when I mention Warrington.

Gates will be down and lots or the fans will have followed the teams example and will spend their money in the pubs watching the game on Monday. At least they will get what they pay for doing that. How long before this is wiped off by the guardian. I will be at the game but if we win it is only the start of what the club has to do for the rest of the season. Hope changes are underway for the wire because the fans deserve more as do the players who are comitted to the game and being let down, Come on wire but to be honest i dont hold out much hope. Proove me wrong.
