Can't argue with Graham as captain.

Turner is a no though.
Under any pressure is found wanting.

That and he isn't good enough.

Has he been playing well?
He's been alright, I think a lot people these days consider him to be a bit of a flat-track bully who relies on using his physical attributes to dominate his opponents rather than skill or guile, the likes of Watkins, Cudjoe and Shenton are far classier players. I haven't really noticed Atkins all that much TBH and there's not too much hype around him but he does do his bit for Warrington and scores a lot of tries in a strong attacking team. He's the greatest center IN THE WORLD though if you ask WireMan.

I'm not convinced about Charnley, he has been poor whenever he has come up against top opposition. I think Joe Burgess is a better bet for success on the wing and his height makes him another threat under the high ball.
Hall & Burgess would be my wingers, Hardaker & Watkins in the centres.

You haven't noticed him? Couldn't help writing him off, and having a childish dig at the same time though.

It kinda makes your whole post pointless doesn't it?


If he is such a flat track bully, but hasn't actually been out played this year, I guess there are lots of flat tracks in superleague.


Bridge has actually played better this year, but did play a lot as stand off.

Cudjoe is nowhere near good enough, he doesn't do anything well enough.

Shenton is actually the player you described when talking about Atkins but nevermind. You were close I suppose.

Watkins plays right so Atkins chat is pointless. He also doesn't get involved enough. He has the skills but needs to push on or he will end up another Cudjoe.

Did you ask him why he uses homophobic language all the time and gets kicked out of England teams before the world cup? ;-)

Because I'm such a biased club fan and just hate Warrington :lol:

And of course the 14 stone Shenton is a player who uses his physical superiority rather than skill to dominate opponents :lol:

Jesus Christ, you're priceless.

What are you dribbling on about?

Face it, you are wrong. You even admitted not watching the player you decided was not good enough. So yeah, your inability to rate a Warrington player has got you here!


When the going got tough, who did Shenton dominate?

He lost at Wembley, lost in France and lost twice in the playoffs.

Maybe if he got bigger he can come close to having a part of his game good enough to even make it a saints never mind England...
