Thought our try was a little forward myself, but like you, i wasnt in the best position to judge, thought wires second try was a mile forward but was given, but dont think it made any diffrence to the game, appart from the nil that is well beat , and well deserved win for the wire.

I can see what you're saying but don't agree.
I think Wire's superior play (attack and defence) was far more tiring for us in the first 20 than it was for them, and hence we were far more tired for the remaining 60mins.
Defending is far more tiring than attacking so we were inevitably going to struggle in the second half but, as Wire were rarely without the ball, we didn't really get to see how fit (or unfit) they really were.

That is exactly what Tony Smith has been trying to drill into the team - you can win a game early and score points late, one folows another if you lay the groundwork. I actually think you have some pretty good players but we wore you out today and were then able to put the game to bed. We've done that to a number of teams this season - you'll bounce back.

I could be wrong but I'm sure we had a fair bit of ball first half but we just didn't do anything with it, knocking on in the first 2/3 tackles far too often. To be fair Wire were excellent, too big, fast. strong & skilful in every dept. Feck me they've got a big pack! They are a top team however they have quire a few b*ll-end fans which is a tad annoying, It's amazing how Wire can get d1cked off Hudds who then get d1cked by Crusaders the week after Crusaders get d1cked by Wire . I'm feeling very uneasy about Tuesday now and fear a major Hudds backlash

| Exactly. They did the same to Celtic last week and it was pointed out on boots ball. I won't harp on because I've posted t before. But last week Warrington beat Celtic without scoring a point.
Won the collision.
Completed there sets n
Applied the pressure, and then put 60 past them.
Same this week. What a well drilled team.
Well done Warrington

| Why is it though we never just get beat???? when we lose(which is most weeks lol)we always get bettered and never just get beat by a try or 8-10 points!!we just simply give in,perhaps it maybe worth the super league having a look at the bonus point system??? thoughts??

| We were beaten by a better team in the end, but Warrington were beatable. They only scored when we gifted them field position, either through unforced errors or silly penalties. That meant we were doing all the defending so we tired in the last 15 mins, hence the rush of points.
Everything we did well last week just disappeared. The half backs didn't take on the line, there was no offloading, no support play and the ball rarely got out wide.

Wasn't the second try off a kick to Myler? but anyway which ever try you ment i was at the wrong end of the pitch to judge. On a slight positive atleast you did better than harlequins against us . Good luck for the rest of the season anyway and will look forward to visiting the new stadium next year.

| Got to say even I feel sorry for the Salford fans. One week things are looking up the next a disaster.I don't think anyone likes to see teams beaten by large scores.Better luck in the next game.

| I'm still trying to figure out what was worse, the refs performance first half or Salfords second half. The try chalked off was level at best. Wire were consistantly offside when we got anywhere near their 20. Broughton penalised for a knock on going towards his own line? (not sure about this one as I was at the other end). The ref then missed a blatant knock on by a Wire player (Westwood I think) under his own sticks gathering a kick. Second half was deckchairs and sunglasses and I don't mean for the fans. No excuse for that second half. Holdsworth seemed to be walking or standing still every time he got the ball then again I don't feel like I should single anybody out, second half they were all abysmal.
