Of course you should have beaten us, Walmsley Paasi, Wingfield, Norman, Delaney, Hopoate and Hurrell missing would be enough to incapacitate most teams. Couple it with Sironen, Makinson and Knowles playing injured any team wanting to be taken seriously in the competition should have seen the obvious Saints tactic of getting ahead and then clinging on. We had Royle at prop for christs sake.

But Saints did what they have done for decades, found a way to win, and Warrington did what they did for decades, found a way to lose. Until you address such a fundamental culture issue, you can have as much improvement in you as you like, it wouldn’t change the result.

Also I don’t understand the ref calling; what precisely did he get wrong? From about 20 minutes onwards you got about 10 penalties/ back to 6s to our 1. The breaking at the scrum penalty really annoyed me as Warrington had been doing it all game.

I await a stormer from Vaughan this weekend but, against one of the weakest sides this season, that should be agiven.

Bugger i forgot what prodigal meant ha ha, I'll say champion instead

I await just an average ground grass stomp at this time.
I’ve been getting stompings from more circles on here, than a Dorset field on the summer solstice.
Vaughan has been bang average on the best of his performances.

I don’t get the love in for him this season.

Without taking the bait, what’s the issue? 1300 meters at over 8m per carry. 280 tackles missing only 15 (5.35%)Compare that with Harrison, who is great by the way, 1100 at 7.2. 310 tackles missing 19 (6.12%).

He’s been performing better than the next best prop in our team, I won’t waste my time looking at Bullock, Musgrove or Philbin, because it’s self evident that he’s our best prop. If everyone performed to his standard, this team would be in far better shape.

It’s a bit of an irrational and irrelevant take to suggest that he’s “bang average”. He’s not. And that’s plain and simple.

That's what I was getting at in as many words!
