FIRING SQUAD

Defiant George takes blame

- DAVE CRAVEN

WARRINGTON v CATALANS 

8pm, Sky Sports

ENGLAND captain George Williams knows Warrington’s players cost boss Daryl Powell his job but maintains they can still rescue their season. 

Wolves host Super League leaders Catalans tonight just five days on from a humiliating 42-6 hammering at bottom side Wakefield.

That embarrassment saw Powell (above) fired and head of youth Gary Chambers put in interim charge tonight.

Early leaders Warrington won their opening eight games but have nosedived to sixth after alarmingly losing eight of their last nine.

Stand-off Williams, who returned from injury in the Wakefield rout, insisted he and his erring team-mates must take the blame for Powell’s sacking.
