Eh its summer rugby it should be played on a beach.

| Enormous amount of positives from last night obviously but the standout for me was the team spirit. That was a bunch of guys really enjoying what they did and really working hard for each other.
This was sadly missing in recent times and I applaud Agar for what he has brought to this squad.

| What a sad, boring comment that was. We were brilliant tonight. I called the “gamble” with Gale paying off, he generalled that game very nicely. Lui played his part with Gale nicely aswell and it worked. Dwyer has his point to prove last nice and it was proved, he was great. Prior is a defensive demon, enough said. Luke Briscoe should not be dropped for Tom at all he is developing and stepping up a great deal. Hurrell was very good but he needs to stop thinking he is SBW with these cheeky flicks because they never come off. All middles were great and dominated the field. Myler again is proving the point of why he deserves to be in the team and that he isn’t a 7 and better support/running player. Handle was good too and our wingers are a lot smaller than theirs by a long way and they could not keep up the pace. Shame about Walker because he is developing into an England no.1 easily. Hope he comes back strong. Smith deserves his place and should be our 13. but I see why Agar went big tonight and it worked perfectly. Martin is one of the best 2nd towers in the league easily, enough said. Donaldson tries his best all the time and it’s a credit to him. But Harry Newman, how good is he going to be? Easily going to be on a par with a top form pre injury Watkins and the best of Senior, he is class. But a great tactical set out from Agar and the team, we dominated Warrington going big and lettting the halves direct us. Our defence, desire and team spirit really worked. Warrington were never given the chance to play and that’s the jist of it, they got suffocated. Overall fantastic performance. But I have to say Widdop is garbage, I’m so glad we didn’t get him. He is past it now and did nothing. That Warrington team should be top of the league unbeaten with the caliber of players they have.

| Great performance.
Early days but we look like we are capable of competing with the top end of the table instead of the bottom this season. Much tougher tests ahead but our attack has improved out of sight with Gale, and the defence has been much better since Agar took over.
Dwyer made the comment after the game that the culture changed when Agar came to the club. He deserves a lot of credit for the team spirit that has returned and the fact that they all look to be playing for each other again. I'm sure there will be plenty more bumps in the road but at least we are going to games thinking that we may have a chance again.
Well done.

| The interview with JJB and agar before the game on sky was v interesting with regards to how they’ve brought back the spirit of the rhinos. Should try and watch it if anyone missed it.
Also, been so impressed with myler. Got to say I’m not so sure where leering will fit in at the moment.

Great to see a fully fit Gale again, I did wonder whether he would get back to that level again. I'm not sure why so many Leeds fans dislike him.

Myler is undropable at the moment. Very difficult for Leeming to get back in but hes out until summer and theres a long way to go yet.

Don’t know if you saw the feature with Agar on Sky in the pre match build up? It was a really interesting piece about how much work they’ve done on creating team spirit including each member of the squad burning something that meant something to them, the ashes then went into a resin that covers the rhinos head that they touch before coming out onto the pitch!

I know, I was being ironic. It seemed a large proportion based their whole opinion of Gale on one jig he did after scoring a try rather than the his performances through the season.

| Handley will score some tries this year if your left edge stays the same.
Everyone knows about gale and hurrell, but as a giants fan the lines that Mellor runs really causes problems, Austin got caught out by Mellor 2/3 times last night which led to tries.
You're in for a good year this year

| I know I’m Ava’s biggest fan and all that but he was awesome again. Goes under the radar a bit but he is real quality.
Makes such a difference having real half backs both sides, and able to double up (three with Myler), very hard to defend at times and kicking game out of sight compared with what it was.
What is really pleasing is the youth of the side. We have a few more good uns to come through too.

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.

How do the grapes taste in Warrington? You're not a true reflection of Wire fans they're usually decent
