| First high should have been a red, especially as St G man was well beaten and had to dive to get any contact, whether shoulder or head first. Second one just a penalty as it did hit shoulder first and Marshall wasn't trying to connect dangerously as, in my view, first one was.
Thought Penny was very good all round (attack and defence) and not sure Warrington lost because of throwing the ball around. They lost more ball in the tackle and should have changed from high kicks which it seemed St G had under control.

I'll hazard a guess wigan too was also garbage

| I've been to both and going to tomorrows too, preferred ours as it was more attacking, this one tonight was attritional, think Wigan played only 3 sets in the oppositon half in 2nd half.
A ground out win for Broncos but I thought they had it under control.

| Thought we did okay in spells but were severely lacking in other spells, especially in the second half.
We defended well for the most part apart from the odd bizarre moments. But on the ball we could have been far better. Our kicking game will see is struggle to win the big prizes this year IMO, it's very poor (it was last season too) and was evident the other night. I think we put two decent kicks in in the whole 80minutes. Then anytime we got within 20m of their line in the second half we had terrible tactics (one set we were right on their line and tried to run in from dummy half three tackles in a row which was laughed at by Dugan it was so easy to defend) or we threw the ball away cheaply.
We also didn't lay a finger on Benji Marshall once. I bet his kit was still white when he got into the changing rooms. He had an easy night on the ball.
Overall I don't think we gave a good account of ourselves as a whole, we're better than we showed. But still was quite proud to have stuck in their with them. Although Ben Harrison from the bench was excellent and Kevin Penny, well, he's never played better IMO.
Still, I'm not disappointed in that (even though it sounds like a moan). I just think we are capable of better.

| I watched the game again last night. You often see much more second time round. It was a great game and we should/could have won it.
I really watched the half backs and the kicks. On reflection I don't think we kicked that badly and I reckon they had some luck with their kicks (particularly for their winning score). The gap between the sets of half backs was not that wide.
We did lose the ball too much. We were very badly treated by the referee. Micky Higham was the liveliest hooker. Some very encouraging stuff.
