| 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.

| 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.

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

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'"
Good point, really enjoyable game to watch as a rhinos fan. As above I thought the team were very good and a number of individuals were also very good.
On Mellor I was super impressed. In com they mentioned he missed a lot of tackles last week. However, this week he looked right on it, quick, powerful and a menace all game. It makes the people who said he was rubbish, average or shouldn’t be playing look silly. This is a in essence a new, growing and developing team. Players like Mellor have come in, trying to settle, understand and improve. We as fans need to support that, not just when we win but also when we don’t. We aren’t the finished article, we aren’t going to play well every week but if the culture has and is improving as it appears then over time we will get back where we want to be.

I think our defence especially down the middle made them look bad, to go with 3 props to start with Prior at loose was a very shrewd move, also the desire to tackle second phase play really threw Wire off their game plan.
It’s easy to get carried away after such a good performance, I still think we’ll have quite a few Hull and Salford first half performances throughout this season, but the difference is I don’t think we’ll throw in the towel this year and that’s down to team spirit, look at when Myler made that mistake early on you could see that his team mates wanted to make sure we defended that next set. I also like what Hurrell (so glad weve got a character like him in the squad) about headingley being their Homeland and they have to protect it, that os a fantastic attitude to have.
We will pick up some injuries like any squad, but we do have some decent players waiting in the wings and I think we are putting decent structures in place that they can come in and fit in with how we want to play, Im hoping to see Mclellend get a few games to see how he goes alongside lui or gale

There's a number of potential reasons.
He was a good player playing for another team.
He is a bit of a cocky one which is great when he is in your team but annoying when he is in someone else's.
The main one for me when he was rumoured to be signing was his recent injuries.
The first two go away now he plays for Leeds and he is answering the third on the pitch.
Is this fickle? Sure.
Very glad we have him now though.

| Well done Leeds, you outplayed us in every aspect of the game. In the long run you may have done us a favour as you should have hastened the departure of Price.

| Really happy with that, the commitment and defence are night and day better than over the last couple of years. With some big players missing, plenty of cap left and some top quality youth both in the side and coming through...Things are looking very good going forward.

Have to say, Price is clearly under pressure but I don’t like the overly aggressive style of Brooks (or Carney) in questioning on Sky. You can ask good questions without being so blunt. I’m not sure if Clarke hasn’t run his course too actually. Off topic.
Wire have too much talent in the team to get into real trouble this year (bar injuries). Thought Chris Hill was immense last night in a beaten side.
The sides haven’t really settled down yet.

| Hopefully the Myler critics from last season will realise any poor performances was down to the rest of the team performing badly and he not being used as he should have been.
Even the best players need quality around them,I have watched Widdop in the NRL and he has looked a world beater at times,last night on that performance he would not be in our reserves.Same applies to Dwyer as to Myler who was excellent last night and has performed much better this season so far.

Add Cameron Smith's hands to what we have in the halves and it's like an extra pivot

| Very good performance tonight with a mixture of us stopping Wire playing and Wire seemingly no longer playing for the coach.
Their team on paper should have beaten us last night but feel Agar out coached Price last night.
Newman Hurrell and Gale best for the backs along with Myler.
All the forwards played very well especially Dwyer.
Leeming is going to have to take aback seat unless we have an injury.
For me Luke Briscoe is a better winger than Tom and should keep his place.
Walker is now getting on a par with Golding
Listening to Agar after the game was he eluding to playing L. Sutcliffe at FB next week?

Myler is playing better because he has got Gale to organise the side, something that he has shown he is incapable of doing. That said he has done a great job in his new role of interchange hooker and then fullback last night. He is in the 17 on merit.
