Quote: Superted "What a great performance all round - special call outs to Myler, Dwyer, Newman and Prior.
I was really impressed with the team spirit - there seemed to be a real buzz between the lads, something that I’ve not noticed in a few years.
Whilst I thought we were fantastic, and we were the ones who made Wire look average, I do temper the excitement with the fact I think the pitch and conditions certainly suited us - the sandpit certainly doesn’t encourage fast, free flowing, quick ptb rugby - the stuff Clarke thrives on. We played the conditions great; the kicking to touch, stop/start nature of the game, combined with the sandpit taking the speed out of the bigger players legs all stopped Wire being able to play their best style. Here’s to a long, wet summer....'"
I think most pundits thought the conditions would suit wire better.
I don't think they rated Leeds defence before kick off and they thought our pack wouldn't be able to match theirs set for set.
It's easy to get carried away after a win like that but boy does the future look bright now.
It seems like we still have space in the cap to bring in another player and we have a fair few kids on the verge of making the first team.
I think Cameron Smith deserves a huge amount of credit. Many on here were writing him off before the season but for me he's probably our most consistent performer.
Leeds played a great down the middle game last night but I also think they have enough in their armoury to play an expansive game when the conditions improve.
Sad news about Ward but he'll recover and come back stronger.
For me we still need another prop in the squad whether that be a signing or the emergence of Holroyd or Mustaphi.
Even though it was a 36-0 scoreline I don't actually think there was too much between the teams.
I think the first half was set for set but we had slightly better ball control. We then got a bit of a lucky try early in the second half which meant Warrington had to chase the game and their continued errors gifted us an easy win. I think if the first score of the second half would have come from wire they could have steadied the ship a bit better. I still think Leeds would have won just because I think from minute 1 until minute 80 Leeds were the most focused.
