He was on the last tackle though wasn't he? Nothing much to lose I'd have thought.

Good effort again but our execution was poor at times and it cost us. A few too many errors that gifted Wire possession and points. We needed to play close to our best to get a result today, but it just didn't quite happen unfortunately.

Had to chuckle at the Wigan fans leaving early though...

This is, for me, exactly what on report is for.

Player potentially injured, ref unsure what has gone on, looked aggressive. On report.
It was never a penalty, and shouldn't be a ban but a letter of warning is justified, as Bateman has dropped on Hodgsons head as his neck was bent and it could have been nasty.

End of.

A few observations from todays game;

Warrington are not a special side, they're a waining force that we could and perhaps should have beaten today

Shaun Ainscough can't finish, try diving for the line instead of getting a nose bleed when the line beckons and forces you to run the other way - Watch the tape of todays game for some finishing tips from Joel Monaghan

Luke Gale looks like he could be the answer at 7 for a long time to come



Bryn Hargreaves is human and has been one of our best players this year, so give him a break for that mistake (game breaker though)

Why are we playing without a recognised full back when we have a number of options at the club including a special kid called Curt Naughton in the juniors

John Bateman is looking at another ban for that tackle on Hodgson, needs to cut out the silly stuff.

Jamie Langley is having his best season in a Bulls jersey, even off loading!

We need to resign Elima, Hargreaves, Kopczack, and Manukofosa for next year our pack is starting to look a bit tasty

I'm growing more confident we'll finish in the play offs this year (if we survive that is!)

That is all, thank you







Jamie Child is not fit to referee top flight rugby league

Solid? He doesn't run for the line when he has the ball and dives for the ground when anyone comes within 10 yards of him. His biggest nightmare is having the ball fall into his hands and he has to try and do something about it. Strange how some players get away with being poor and others don't! Hargreaves makes a mistake despite being solid most of the season and gets slated.

I'd replace pryce not ainscough. Platt is poor anyway!

Agree. If he'd have gone for the line he wouldn't have made it and then been accused of being greedy with the ball and should have passed!

Think all the team should be proud of their efforts. Well done to them all for the effort they put in against a team as hard as Warrington.

Does anyone know how Elliot Kear is getting along? He was injured around the same time as Gale if I remember, and supposedly out of action for the same length of time. There's been no mention of how his recovery was going though.

I think, at the minute, we are only a few players short of our best 17. Get Kearney, Sammut and either Crookes or Kear back in the side and we're looking good.

Well said!

Way too harsh so shut up!

No it wasn't, hence why he made the correct decision to not lose possession at that time due to the very high lchance of being pushed into touch.

Thought we lacked the extra creative player today Kearney would of give us an extra dimension if he was fit real shame because the full back position was a mess today
