WARRINGTON Wolves fan Wilf Delooze, 92, from Latchford wonders if this is the poem head coach Steve Price read to his players at half time to prompt the turnaround in performance.
The Wire, trailing 12-0 at half time, went on to score 30 unanswered points and conceded none in the second period.

POEM FOR PRICE: Wise words for the Warrington Wolves v Wigan Warriors cup clash
Wilf's poem was sent in to Warrington Guardian with apologies to the Lobster Quadrille (Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll).
WILF'S POEM:
Will you run a little faster said Mr Price to his team
There’s another team amongst you who's trying to spoil your dream,
See how eagerly the subs and replacements seek their chance,
They are waiting on the touch line so eager to advance,
Will they, won’t they, will they, won’t they, will they play the game,
Could they, would they, could they, would they, could they WIN the game
