Complete tosh

We have a fantastic BALANCE of youth and experience

We're top of the league, and playing the best rugby I've seen in a Warrington shirt in 30+ years, and our resident Nazi sympathiser is crying about ages.



Do you not think Smith/Moran have not given the age issue lots of thought, or do you think they'll wake up in 2 years time, in a cold sweat, thinking Morley Briers etc will go on til their 40's....

DONT PANIC

RP. saints tactic of offloading injury prone players obviously works well! they currently have a fully fit squad with not even a niggle never mind any injuries......

hodgson , yes he`s past it , hang on top points scorer this year , king , yes hes well over the hill , briers , oh yes worst stand off in super league never going to make it , m.monas got to say he`s average , NOT , and as for moz well , say no more

i think you will find we can , our top 4 or 5 earners are all in the age bracket you state , therefore we can replace age with youth or like for like , ie shillington for moz , smith/ennis for m.monas , marshall for briers , slater (pretty pretty please ) for hodgson . we are a club on the up , despite what the pie eaters say and as long as moran has hold of the purse strings ( salary cap permitting we are here for the long haul)

Age is but a number with modern nutrition and conditioning.



Would anyone disagree that Briers is now in the form of his life? I can't remember him ever being as consistently good as this.

I must be old school still as I like my teams to have the 7 close to the ruck and bringing the forwards into the game with the 6 operating wider and linking the backs. Not sure about this channel thing, reminds me too much of Paul Cullen.

He is in the form of his life your right but his body is now more fragile than ever, he needs protecting by Smith to keep him fresh. Playing for Wales in the 4 nations is his dream though, but could be hard on his body which as we all know has not been kept in tip top conditon over the years.

What protection has he had this season?

No-one is saying these players are rubbish. Just that its worrying for Wire that so many of your key players are so close to retirement around the same time.



Same thing happened with Wigan when Farrell, O'Connor, Radlinski, Cowie, Newton, Connolly, Dallas, Renouf, Furner, Smith, Lam all left/retired within the space of a couple of seasons look where that left us - we were absolutely terrible when they left, up until we got a massive boost of talent coming through these past 2 years in the Tomkins bros, farrell, mossop, etc.



You cant just live in hope that players like O'Brian will be the new messiah and all will be well (we did the same with Kevin Brown)

We are being given the world on a plate by Lord Smith of the Shire and all you do is complain about the effing plate !!



Idea - next time you have a thought, either tell the person next to you at the time or just let it go.

I think it might be a case of 'What ridiculous thread can I think of today,' Mark.
