The referee was Ganson, but the call was made by the linesman....James Child. It was the correct call, but after a season of watching referees in almost every game fail to enforce the offside rule, he picked a damn good time for you lot to start didn't he?

Smiling at players when they try it on. Bunch of flirts these refs. Little flirty pants.

No Falloon then ? Bugger,was looking forward to seeing him play

It's a great opener isn't it... wish i could have made it.

James f**king incompetent Child.....doesn't even go to the screen for one of the most obvious obstructions.

Still....he's 'earned' this big gigs.

If that wasnt obstruction, i struggle to see the point of having an obstruction rule. He literally just stood in the defensive line and stopped Ablett moving across and Sandow went through the gap that created.

I wouldnt actually mind if that was the rule and we carried on with that, but we wont and at some point in the season we will see some fantastic and well worked attack ruled out for far less than that.

I know you are still obsessed with his willy, but it makes you look sillier than him.

Being the best of a bad bunch, doesnt mean you are good.

Talking about willy, Cox seems to be making good inroads.

Ha ha, He does. Wire look good, we look flat.

Well that was a good start wasn't it?

Completely disjointed in attack. For that much ball, two tries in attack is a poor return. Plenty of work to be done.

Post-Sinfield Era to date = Ouch!

Why didn't Lilley take the penalty????

Apart from the lack of a decent first choice kicker, I don't think we look in bad shape. I thought w did well to still be in the game considering we had our best half injured for most of the game, and Sutcliffe could barely walk for most of it. We looked flat in the first half with the ball, but I thought we defended well for most of the game, hopefully or injuries aren't too serious, and we can get some more cohesion in attack once Falloon is in the team.

First half we was poor end of. Second half we looked more threatening with Lilley on, who has a bright future ahead of him. Overall the team looked like they were still in 'off season' mode, a few small sparks of individual moments but as a team still look tired and lacking fitness.

Warrington were nothing special, put a couple of good defensive sets in, looked fresher and quicker out of the blocks.

Btw Hardaker can't be our permanent goal kicker this season, with his attempts at goal it was no wonder we kept passing on earlier 2 point opportunities.
