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.'"
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?

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.'" 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.

Couldn't agree more.It's a team game and, as we start to play more like a team, it brings out a players true talent.

| By Warrington
How that coach can keep his job after that i will never know , credit to Leeds for a great defensive perfomance and at last we have dummy runners and not just dummies . Looks like Gales influence on the training field is paying off similar to when Sinny and Peacock were doing the coaching
Great performances across the park but especially from Cuthbo , Newman and Gayle .

| Some really good performances last night and pleasing to see the progress we’ve made.
Thought Newman, Myler, Gale, Ava, Prior were all great.
Ava and Prior will turn out to be really good signings in my opinion. Given us lots of grunt and tough hard work in the pack. They’re enabling the others to look as good as they have done the last few games.
While Warrington weren’t good there’s only so many times we can deflect praise by saying the opposition were poor. At some point we have to admit that at least some of that is due to how we played causing them to be poor.
The pleasing thing for me is how quick the squad is looking. Newman, Mellor, Gale have all added some pace to the team. But also how controlled we were. There were very few, if any, daft plays.
I’m not daft enough to think we’re grand final material yet but if we can finish 5th or 6th this year that’ll be good progress and then next year think about a playoff shot.

| Some great comments so here's a few different observations:
The pitch looked great when I took a look last week so my guess is that it was sanded just as a precaution against the heavy rain and sleet earlier in the day.
How the RFL/Super League could sign-off the teams' kit choices midweek is beyond me. There was always going to be a clash with the colours not being distinct enough for TV purposes.
We now have key person risk with Gale, his organisation is all-important and has helped Dwyer with his decision making enormously.
Laughable how many questioned the line-up pre-match on social media ("Why has Cameron Smith been dropped?" etc etc). It was purely a tactical switch, stop Warrington down the middle and you're well on the way to winning the match. Credit to Agar with the starting line-up, tactics and use of subs.
It's less noticeable when we win but I still think we have a problem with Hicks. It felt like he was trying to give them a leg-up at times and in particular the lack of action when Lineham took out Dwyer off the ball was poor. Surely that will be reviewed by the disciplinary committee.
Best performance since 2017, onwards and upwards, can't wait for next week (even if Thursday night rugby sucks).

Agree with all that.
On Hicks I think it makes our performance all the better that it certainly felt like we were fighting against the ref too. Some of his decisions re holding down were baffling. As was the decision to send the Dwyer try up to the VR as No Try.
I think he actually got the Murdoch-Masila sinbinning correct, I don’t think it deserved a red. However other players have been sent off for less including Chris Hill v Wigan.
Yeah there appears to be a daft issue with kits for some reason. We’ve never had these issues before so why are they starting now? Surely all this is sorted at the start of the season when fixtures are announced and clubs kits are signed off? You can use this one away at so and so and this one here? Seems like a simple issue that just needs a bit of organisation.
I thought Agar’s use of subs in the first half was spot on. He brought them on just when we needed them when Wire were starting to gain a foothold in the game.

| On the kit issue (or non issue IMO) its our fault for not having a proper leeds kit with traditional colours, had we had that Wires away shirt would have been fine as would Hulls home shirt

| Quote KaeruJim="KaeruJim"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.'"
I thought her interview with Price was disgusting and amateurish.
