ALL the reaction to Warrington Wolves’ loss at Hull KR on Friday.
Facebook:
Lee Chambers: Said it before and I will keep saying it. Too many comfy players now, won a few trophies and think they’re Teflon. Atkins, Myler, Harrison, bridge, Monaghan (captaincy has not helped him by any stretch) We lack leaders with the losses of Briers, Morley, Carvell and Michael Monaghan.
Gidley will absolutely help with the composure but we need ball players. A new scrum halve that controls games, Myler is a perfect number 6. We need a ball playing 13 instead of another battering ram ala Harrison. 2 new forwards, second row and a centre.
Ashley Pilling: Where should we start ! Well get turned over by Leigh next week just to top the season off !! Since Agar came in we’ve gone backwards 5 years !!
Baz Graham: Embarrassing. No heart, no pride. A team going through the motions.
Stephen Spencer: Didn’t think I would say this but we was embarrassing again tony how many more times of excuses even benny if he had pockets in is shorts he would of had is hands on them.
Simon Robert Ellison: ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING !!!!!!!
Christian Taylor: We will get battered next week playing like that
Gerry Kerkhof: Total shambles

Penmarra: Shambolic and embarrassing and not worthy of Superleague let alone the top eight
Bakubrit: Embarrassing to say the least. Dreadful performance. Smith and Agar have to go. To get totally out performed by a team that contained about 12 new players is absolutely unacceptable. My support is now curtailed after more that 55 years. I will now start watching cricket !!!
whatsgoingon1: Not good enough. The game is 80 mins long, can somebody tell them ALL this fact. Nearly 70 points against us in the last 2 games. Mr Smith can not praise our defence over 80 mins. I am not after Mr Smith’s head but come on be honest even if you condem your own players. We face a bleak future
peteclaffey: Easy solution , just hire a more experienced coach with better success rate who is not under contract anywhere else , there must be lots available ? then pluck a few quality halfbacks out of the air then stop whining , problem solved.
nk: Cant see this team lasting beyond this season.A rebuild is needed and the club need a top half back is needed.cant see us being relegated but it would be a disaster if we are.That would seriously damage Smiths reputation
Twitter:
Hull Kingston Rovers (@hullkr_online): Big shout out to the @wolvesrl fan who won the half time game, he shared his money out with the Rovers fan! #GoodSport
David Dixon (@ion_xd): @wolvesrl @hullkr_online not seen us so poor in a long time - fair play to HKR
Post match press conference:
Tony Smith: "We lacked some punch and needed to ask more questions of our opponents. Take a bit more gas out of them in the first half, and we didn’t do that.
"That hurt us. The back to back penalties and coming out of our own area and giving the ball over with the ball hurt us.
"We weren’t firing as well as we needed to be and as potently as we needed to be. You pay a price if you’re not firing on all cylinders – particularly at a place like this."
