| The first half you couldnt say Monas wasnt their, his tackling was brilliant. He got up and chased down everyone even after taking a shot to the head.
Briers was drifting in and out but I dont believe he is the top man for Wire anymore and havent done for a season or two, but we really miss him when he is off the field.
As for them playing together... No Monas doesnt seem to want to take control when Briers is around.

| Smacks of Bradford under Noble 8-10 years ago. Those tactics will no longer work in Superleague.
Even though we struggled a little last season as a spectator I would much rather watch what Paul Cullen had them playing like than the 5 drives and a kick crap under lowes.
Might aswell do without the half backs and just chuck 2 extra forwards on.

| I have lost all faith in Monaghan, he's just not good enough. Always looked pretty average if not poor.

It's good having a half back than knows how to throw himself about in defence but it's not really what he's paid to do.
If he couldn't tackle but was brilliant in attack you could live with it.
For me he is a hooker

We would definately do better like that our halves are not doing a job, we've now got arguably the best pack in superleague with nobody to guide them round.
Monas is a hooker

| You wasted your money on Higham. You should have signed a good 6 and moved Monaghan to 9.

| Briers plays best when he's constantly involved, but we seem to be playing with just the forwards on the first 3 or 4 tackles, so he's only getting it when we're looking to kick.
It's not a bad way to start the game, but we need to get a bit more expansive later on.
As for Monaghan, he should be on the bench as second hooker, 'cos he certainly aint a half back

| Looking at the 3 performances Higham has given in a Warrington shirt you could hardly say he's a waste of money
The guy has been our best player in 2 of them and was in the best 4 tonight

He gave away three penalties and from those you conceded three tries. It's normal from him, look at his stats.

Exactly what I keep saying, it is boring and not very effective!

| First half Monaghan in defense was awesome but both him and Briers were again non existent in attack.
Second half Monaghan and Briers defense was woeful and both were still non existent in attack.
I don't think they can play together and as Ive said in the past i would like to see Monaghan play along side Bridge.
I do however think Briers's kicking game improved on recent displays.

While Lowes was there by any chance???
I honestly think Lowes has got us playing that kind of RL. At least with Cullen we played some lovely attacking rugby. It may not always have come off and we may have dropped the ball a lot but we played with flair and emulated Saints. Now not only are we playing boring forward-heavy rugby, we're playing rubbish, boring, forward-heavy rugby.
I think Lowes is trying to move as far away as possible from what Cullen has us working towards and that is not doing us any good at all when we have some cracking talent in our backs.
