They need to get Laithwaite and Currie involved more, both players have great potential but didn't see enough of the ball tonight and Westwood was a bit anonymous apart from the pass around the 10th min when Penny knocks on when he could have scored.
I thought Sims made an impact in defence and Hill made the metres, neither were overly bad IMO. The halves were all over the place for me, the organisation was non exsistant and if Ratchford was a t 6 they might have created more.

Fair play for plugging on and keeping the heat on us, you'll beat plenty of teams if you play 80 mins like you did the last 20.

I was expecting A LOT more from Warrington's front three. Going into the match I figured it was a definite threat.

Sims was ok..ish. But I've no idea where Hill was tonight (aside from the last minute).

The lack of forward momentum was a significant factor in Clark's almost total nullification.

Westwood did ok. But it was like watching a cruiser trying to slug it out with a battleship. Saints seem to be anywhere up to 6-12lbs heavier per man.

Exactly what my sister and myself said in response to the blame/abuse being lumped on Penny.

Penny struggled tonight. He was lucky he finally got hold of that ball for his try, you get the feeling he's one dropped ball away from a crisis of confidence.

I've seen most of his performances this year and I don't get that feeling. At all...

I thought it wasn't one of Currie's finest displays.
Atkins bombed a certain try in the first when chose to demonstrate his poor judgement and passing techniques with the line in front of him beckoning.

I think some of us assume, because our kicks didn't find touch or turn a man, we had a bad kicking game.

I didn't see that in the first half. Warrington we clearly told imo to keep the ball live. Not to kick it dead purposely as to burn St's out. It was working too. It was our errors and 1 or 2 dubious ref calls that let Saints off the ropes.

Saints were the better side and no complaints there, but they only just beat us.
There is a lot more to come from us.

I've said all year I think you will win it this season. Leeds aren't that good and Wigan have turned up to the Tour de France on a BMX. If we could get Walsh on the field with Burns we'd push you, but we'll have to do it without Lomax who is said to be out for the season.

The last ten minutes warped the game, Saints were very comfortable tonight. Two kicks from charge downs and you made it exciting. But Warrington despite year after year of failure under Smith just don't seem to have learned the lessons. The default mode for Warrington has always been to go expansive in big games. There are games where you've got to earn the right to score by doing the grind first. Smith should look at videos of how the NRL sides played against the SL sides and copy that. Conservative, down the middle rugby, a quality kicking game and tough defense with a quick line. Earn the territory and hunt the error.

You have also got to get some faith in a 1,6,7 combination and stick with it for the season. Chopping and changing those key positions is mindless and can lead only to disruption.

What "failure under Smith" looks like:

^ Hmm, something is missing...

We were away at the unbeaten leaders, champs and best team ever to play the game. Our pack was second best or obliterated/smashed/demolished if you're using mugwumps book of overly giddy adjectives. We played pretty poorly (we even made Wilkin look good) and saints played very well...we lost by 8. No need to panic.
