Back yesterday from Vegas after a horrendous journey back.
The whole experience was brilliant, we did the club VIP package, which involved meet and greet with players, private tour of Stadium and UFC performance institute, and invite to the Warrington/Penrith opposed training session, all were fantastic. Mixing with the NRL and SL fans from all over the place was great and Vegas is a lot of fun.
The game was obviously disappointing and highlighted the gap thatcurrently exists between us and Wigan. How many of our players would get into their team on current form (Walker and Ashton maybe).. ?
I've seen a lot of criticism online regarding our players professionalism, but from what i saw i don't think they did a lot wrong. We went to the private meet and greet party after Fremont on the Thursday and the players were mixing with fans but drinking water, Wigan were there doing the same.
The players drank at the after match party but they weren't bladdered (i can't vouch for what happened after we left at midnight) , they were mostly sat with their families and chatting to them they were genuinely gutted about how they conducted themselves on the pitch.
There was clear ill feeling from some of the players around the travel arrangements organised by the club, indirect flights in economy seats to Heathrow at 10am meaning they were picked up at 6am the morning after the game and a coach journey back from Heathrow to Warrington, when recovery is key before the next game was this the right decision?. Wigan flew home 24 hours later in premium i think?
The whole Burgess Visa and late arrival was a massive distraction in my opinion i think some blame probably lies with the Club, not sure how this wasn't sorted in advance. I'm sure there a lot of things the club would have done differently in hindsight to make the trip more of a success.

It would be interesting to know what sort of noise was coming out of our dressing room after the game. I certainly can't imagine Walker leading a song after a performance like that.

It's things like this. Who on earth at the club thought this was a good idea? The club really do not help themselves at times. |

I did wonder about this. Maybe the club wanted the team home earlier and preferred the 4 hour flight to JFK then the 8 hour to LHR. Or maybe it was for reasons of cost. I wonder if the directors returned in economy ... |
