KURT Gidley says he takes “full responsibility” for recent faults in The Wire’s attack.

Wolves boss Tony Smith highlighted his side’s last-tackle plays as particularly disappointing during Saturday’s 26-12 defeat at Wakefield Trinity.

It was another lacklustre display going forward from The Wire, who are averaging just 16.7 points per game in Super League and have the competition’s least potent attack in terms of points scored.

Gidley is keen to ensure an improved display in attack against Leigh Centurions tomorrow, Friday.

“Our last tackle plays were disappointing at Wakefield, I know that and they were discussed after the game and during the week in training,” he said.

“I take full responsibility for our last plays, I know how important they are to finishing our sets well, building pressure and not allowing the momentum to swing in the opposite direction.

“I’ve been working on them this week and I’m keen to put it right on Friday.”

Saturday’s game was Gidley’s first since announcing he will be retiring from rugby league at the end of the season.

The 35-year-old thinks getting the announcement out in the open will allow him to enjoy his final 10 games before hanging up his boots.

The New South Wales and Australia representative also hopes the Warrington fans will remember him in a positive light.

“I’ve made memories for life here on and off the field,” he said.

“The announcement was a bit of a weight off my shoulders. It’s a relief to finally let people know publicly.

“I think it will help me enjoy the last 10 games of my career as much as I can. I want to finish as positively as I can, for myself, the team and the fans.

“I hope they will remember me as someone to be proud of. I’m always really passionate about the team’s performance and my own performance.

“The fans have been unbelievable with me, the songs they come up with home and away are outstanding.”

Gidley and his teammates will be facing a Centurions side that arrive at The Halliwell Jones Stadium without prop Jamie Acton and centre Ben Crooks through suspension.

Neil Jukes’ side have already had their place in the Middle 8s confirmed but Gidley insists both sides still have “plenty to play for.”

“The local rivalries are great and it takes the atmosphere up a notch,” he said.

“They still have plenty to play for, just like we do. We want to improve our performance and take some confidence into whatever the next stage will be.

“There’s definitely a little more feeling for these games among the supporters so we want to win it for them.”
