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).

Quote: Holmes "Some great comments so here's a few different observations
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 "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.

I think the team looks a lot more balanced. Some good props, half backs and Smith links in well. I also think our second rows link with the centres well to give them opportunities.

How good is Newman going to be? I thought he overtryed a little last year but he is looking all class this season. Could he be playing for the full England side this year? Very strong for his age and a great runner.

absolute rubbish. the away side should provide an alternative kit. what the home side wear, and its registered pre season, is irrelevant.

They did supply an away kit it was black and red, Sky thought it would cause problems so asked us to change to white, in the list of things to get bothered about this is firmly at the bottom.

What you looking at?....Butt Head!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68072.jpg



Always thought Gale would make a big difference if he stayed fit, crisp passing and reading of the game is top notch. Him being in there seems to have freed up Myler of pressure which allows him to become a dangerous utility player.

As good a win as last night was Wire were bloody awful considering the talent they had on the pitch. Just didn't seem interested from first minute. Wouldn't be surprised to see Price get the bullet if that continues.

Don't think Price is to blame. One of hardest working coaches in SL, and always seems a genuinely good bloke. I don't v think there's as much talent in that v team as people think. I mean king/young centre vs Hurrell/Newman. Massive mismatch just there.......
