| Just out of interest, could we take a look at which players who've been around a few years have actually changed their game in response to different coaching? I'm far from an expert, but my observation of the old guard over the last few years tells me:
Ratchford: naa, not really, just slightly slower and less elusive than he was
Charnley: yes, amazingly - Price had him as first receiver on our own line trying to be a prop, but he's changed fairly radically into a properish winger since the beginning of the season
J. Clark: zero change
Jack Hughes: zero change
D. Clark: zero real change, still dangerous on the scoot but well off his best
Currie: zero real change
M. Davis: zero real change
Hmmm.
If you coach someone in business and they don't respond it's either because they 1) don't want to or 2) aren't capable of altering the way they do things. If the above list don't want to change, do they belong in the team? If they get on the field, panic and forget everything they've agreed to try out, do they belong in Superleague? Or am I talking rubbish and have missed a load of subtleties in the way they play?

| 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.

I had intended watching but Tuesday is when I always watch back to back episodes of Leslie Crowther's The Price is Right over a Harvey's or six, and Wednesday is my tea-towel collectors group meeting so I'll have to give it a miss this time.
