Mulhern's a prop. But our coach would rather flog Peacock and Cuthbertson until they can barely walk rather than play him.

Hardaker went onto the wing and Sutcliffe to full-back once Watkins went off. Probably the best option, given we didn't have anyone else who could play on the wing.

So why have him in the 17, particularly in place of Yates who was at least getting 15-20 minutes a game? Particularly if you're going to waste another bench spot on Burrow, who frankly is done and dusted IMO.

The only reason. Can see for Mulhern getting in the 17 is that Yates was injured, otherwise to any rationale coach you would have gone with Yates and Mulhern and one of Sinfield and Burrow who I don't think is finished just yet. Sinfield on the other hand is well and truly done.

It was always going to happen, every team has an off day. We were as poor this week as we were good last. If any opposition coach knows how to unpick Leeds it's Tony Smith and his side did a number on us tonight. The things that disappointed the most were how often we lost concentration and fluffed good position and how unprofessional we were in niggling at the ref, yes he got things wrong, yep they seemed to be more often against us than for us (but I'm looking through blue and amber specs) But we lost that game with out his help, we were bested in the forwards and in the kicking game. But we are still 4 points clear at the top of the league. I just hope this isn't a portent of another disappointing second half of the season. Tonight we were well beaten, hopefully we didn't take any serious injuries and we can get back on track next week. Well done to the Wire

We were beaten by a better team, a hungrier team and arguably a more desperate team. That said, their game plan was more than aided by an unbelievably inept performance from Child. No great dilemma's otherwise, just not our night

we was as guilty as your mob and a ht pen count of 4-1 in your favour does your whinge no credit at all...

Well beaten by a much better team. MCDermott took the plaudits quite rightly last week, this week he got it badly wrong. I thought before game it would be wrong to not start Sinfield, the second we were 8-0 down he should have been on. No one was leading that side, they were a disjointed bunch, playing with no direction and no heart. He should have been on there to get a grip of them. Not for flair, although he looked our best player when on, but purely to lead them which was sadly lacking.

I would like them to go with whoever is a bloody winger next week, rather than Watkins, and playing Ablett at centre who is God damn awful. Ablett has been poor in his normal role this season, he looked horrendous tonight at centre.

You were a lot more guilty of offside than we were. Your line speed was ridiculous. Either your players are superhuman or it was illegal. Not complaining about it - Child was weak as hell and would have let us do the same if we'd have been d, but we weren't and Wire were, which is a big reason why Wire won so well.

i was surprised to see you beaten so easily tonight.... it was a heartless display from your forwards.

You should know, you support Leeds.

Its a good job for Warrington that Child didn't penalise them for any of the above. Leeds would have walked it otherwise.

No it wasn't. There was plenty of heart. It was a lethargic display, not heartless, and it was from the whole team not just the forwards.

Not enough numbers in the tackle and not enough numbers in support of the ball carrier.

It was heartless him. We showed no courage what so ever, and no desire to win the game, like Wire played all match.

yes, maybe heartless was the wrong description... not enough vigor then.... you were beat in the collision all night... you struggled to make any ground on the back of that.
.

Agree with that. You were quicker and stronger than us all night and Clark and Higham ripped us apart in the middle.


Disagree. I don't think it was heartless. If it had we'd have thrown the towel in after 30 mins. We didn't.

We were outplayed. And as I said we were lethargic. Thats not the same as a lack of heart.

The ghost of McDermott past.... Selecting players to sit out the match while the first choice forwards are obviously out on their feet.

With most agreeing Achurch is not a prop and Mulhern not trusted.....well !!! A stubborness to see the reality of his decisions is disappointing.

He has been strong enough to select Sinfield on the bench: he now has to go one further and select either Burrow OR Sinfield on the bench; not both.

However he probably now has the self justification for 'resting' Sutcliffe next match to avoid that decision.
