PAUL Wood thinks the lengthy dressing room discussion that followed Sunday's defeat at Castleford will prove beneficial as Wolves bid to halt their five-match losing run.
Although some of the club's backroom staff emerged from the dressing room shortly after the final hooter, Paul Cullen and the players remained inside for fully 30 minutes.
Cullen has insisted that the discussion was 'not dissimilar' to ones after previous matches this season - win or lose - and has revealed he spoke with his players about the reasons for the result.
And Wood, who has penned a new deal to keep him with Wolves until the end of 2009, says the boss let the squad do some of the talking as they attempted to sort out their current problems.
"The players were having a chat among themselves and while that was going on Cull didn't really say a lot," said the 24-year-old prop, who has been banned for one match after being sent off for fighting during the 150th game of his career on Sunday.
"I think it was important that the players talked between themselves rather than Cull saying everything all the time.
"I think a few lads got some things off their chests and that will help us out.
"It was something that needed to be done.
"A couple of lads said a few things and everyone agreed with what was said, so it should take a bit of a weight off our shoulders.
"But there were no arguments, it was just some honest words spoken by the lads about where we're going wrong."
And Wood, who still had a year left to run on his current deal, believes Wolves will need to play as a unit if they are to achieve his ambition of winning a trophy.
He said: "We have to work as a team and not just individually.
"It's disappointing to lose but I want to win things with Warrington and I'll try my best to do that.
"I'm really happy here, I've made plenty of friends and all I need now is to win a trophy.
"I know we've lost five games on the bounce but it's not as bad as it looks.
"We'll not give up and if we can get in that top six we've got a chance of winning it."
