I am afraid Waterhouse was not the only one to stink - although he did hence his substitution in the first half.



Morley looks a shadow of the player he was. Briers anonymous. A shocking day at the office and could have been 50+. Been coming a long while. 3 wins from 6 and that's including a scrape of a win against Wakefield at home. As I said in an earlier thread about 4 weeks ago and got derided. Something is not right at Warrington.

To be fair Rau had one game worthy of his signing. (Leeds home). Waterhouse has yet to achieve that. He was garbage today and to think he was rested so he could be at his best for this?

Maybe he is waiting for the pitches to firm up a little!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How long did it take the likes of Matt King , Louis Anderson and other big name signings to settle in when they got ere , think we should just stop being negative M Monas will hit form and make us tick again its obvious he as not been 100% this season hence the easter rest , keep the faith and trust in tony smith

The strange thing was, some of the players who were rested on Thursday looked the most slow and tired like Waterhouse and Morley.

I don't normally watch on tv (no sports channels) ,but i watched today & some highlights from Thursday & TS seemed to be laying the law down at half time in both games & coupled with the huddle on Thursday it looks like he could be getting concerned.

Well I think you've got to give Cats some credit. They won the battle in the ruck and our defence was somewhat leaky from early on.

Our forwards were 2nd best.



Looked as though it was going to be a bad day at the office from the kick off unfortunately and so it turned out.



Thought Higham gave his all and also Joel took the ball in well

Myler going off didn't help and Briers was obviously frustrated with many of the plays.

Moz tackled too high and whatever was tried simply didn't work. Cats looked secure in defence and the heat obviously affected us in the last 10 mins.



Going to be interesting to see how TS responds.

Every good thing comes to an end and ageing is part of life dont renew there contracts and move on simple!Were Widnes and were poop , yes we got kicked by catalans like yourselves what you have got is a great u20s squad from 1-13 that could step up to first team and wont let you down!and what agreat position your in beating wigan , saints, and battered widnes on saturday top of the tree , let me just say your clubs in great hands youth wise just give them a chance cause they have got age on there side

I'm not one to poo-stir. As I've said before on the Myler thread (after the Stains game) we win as a team, we lose as a team.



However, the situation with Waterhouse is like going into Dr Who's TARDIS, back to 2008, and there we have Matt King.

Both come with big reputations, SoO and Test experience, and we've seen (on the whole) NOWT.



atm, Waterhouse looks like he can defend, BUT, his reputation as a ball handling, offloading beast is, well, plain wrong.

It's almost like going to buy a classic car, with a stunning advert, and finding out it's a Ford Focus. Yes it's reliable and reasonable at it's job, but it's not what was promised.



Mr Waterhouse needs to "pull his socks up".

Some great players who've not lived up to the billing, don't necessarily turn it round, a la King.

Come on Trent. Pull your finger out.

Waterhouse looks totally knackered and uninterested at the minute. Hopefully, it is a settling in issue

He looks to have all the mobility of a wardrobe unfortunately.

He's been a bit up and down but I'm sure that we'll all keep in perspective that he's played about 10 times for us and is still settling in. So proud that I don't follow a team where we forget that. www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/ma ... harlequins
