Do you remember the "Ryan Air" moment?

You can date this type of try back to c2010 when the rules were changed so that touching the corner post was no longer counted as being 'in touch'. Wingers, from all clubs, immediately started to practice their 'leaping salmon' technique.

I suspect that MR FITZGIBBON will rapidly become a player that the opposition fans hate and we worship…it has been a while!

I think Powell had exactly the same goal as Burgess: to bring some humility to the side.

I think the difference is that Burgess is able to relate to the players far more easily, and hence is getting them to buy into his mentality. I also think that Powell wanted too much control over all aspects of play, whereas Burgess puts more trust in those around him to coach whilst he manages the big picture stuff.

Long may it continue…

Everything is rosy on the back of a big win and rightly so, let's enjoy our victory an excellent performance from 1-17 particularly bearing in mind that it probably wasn't everyone's first choice team. Let's not get too cocky and forget the start we made under Powell and what happened after it.

However, Burgess and his coaching team seem to have a very different approach to man management and the playing team look like they have bought right into it and are playing for each other. They really seem to be enjoying their rugby and with that comes trust that they are all pulling in the same direction and long may that continue.

Wise words. Keep expectations grounded and take each game as it comes. I for one am enjoying watching us again. We are tough, gritty and full of flair.

The Warrington we are used to, after a wonderful game like that, would fall flat on their face against Leigh. Let's hope we can keep the intensity.

There's a bit of balance needed isn't there? I didn't want to come across in any way negative, as I can't tell you how chuffed I was with that performance.

The big deal for me is, I too like the look of what we seem to be trying to achieve beyond this as a one off and having watched it back listening to all the post match interviews with so many young lads out there, we just might be onto something....fingers crossed.

Spot on, UR. We (the fans) can allow ourselves to briefly revel in our bragging rights over the rugby team formerly known as Entertainers, and we're all enjoying our encouragingly bright brand of rugby, but fans and team alike need to stay grounded. Leigh will be a tough game, and we don't get a 6-0 start just because we beat Saints. Another big performance will be needed to get the win.

Totally agree. Thought Amone was superb for Leigh this weekend in defeat and Dwyer/Charnley etc. will be busting a gut to turn us over. This will be a really tough game even with Vaughan returning.

we owe leigh a bit of a receipt from last year, this in itself is a big/tough game.

Thought Makinson`s signed for Catalans with Davies going to KR and Johnstone Wakefield?

Anyone else notice Bell's 'contact' with Philbin (67 mins) in the build up to Harrison's try? I thought watching from behind the sticks that it looked nasty, but watching it later his fingers are well and truly in contact with Philbin's eyes.
Amazed the MRP have done nothing.

Yes totally agree. It's good to see a Wire team put in a performance like that. Their faces clearly show they are enjoying every bit of success, and after all the work they get through, why not ?

But Saints were diabolical. Last tackle kicks going straight into touch, Lomax with his foot over the dead ball line, kick off's not going the 10 yards, Wood getting a great attacking pass ( - from a Saints player), Walmsley dropping the ball and having a paddy. It was all a bit 'wrong time of the month" from them. Nice to see though if you are the opposition.
I am not saying we were average. Williams, Ashton and Harrison had great games and deserve the plaudits. Add to that a low number of errors plus a lot of set completions and there is much to be pleased about. But I suspect we are currently over-achieving, particularly if you consider we have had key players injured or suspended since the start of the season. At some point we will inevitably get turned over, but until then we can justifiably sit back and wonder what sort of magic fairy dust Burgess has sprinkled over the squad.

The thing is though with this team you’re always going to get 100% effort, you can see it a mile off. Take a good team and a good performance to see us off.

Really happy with the win, but lots to work on. In the spell while it was 4-0/6-4 we were under a lot of pressure. Scrambled well, but still leaked a lot of meters. Thankfully Hurrell and Sironen blew chances to put the wingers into space, but it could have been a momentum shift. Instead we rode the wave and found a way to create our own momentum.

We desperately need Vaughan back. Stating the obvious, I know. But when Harrison went off we lost a lot of control. And Philbin too, to his credit.

Hayes did his best kicking from deep, and got us out of trouble a few times. Really like how he has just taken that responsibility on for himself, no hiding behind Williams. He, the club and the academy system should be really proud to see that he is earning his shirt over a time served halfback, who is also taking a quota spot. Still, come the back end of the season, he will have to do a little better to really put teams under pressure. But lots to like from him.

Lee Briers commented in the podcast on the BBC about learning when without players, finding a way to plug the gap and go without them, and then having the boost when they return to go up a gear. I think we need to build up to that, particularly with Currie, Musgrove and Vaughan. Those in the shirts need to (and so far, have) find a way for us to not notice they are missing and make the stars wrestle the shirt off their back. I’d love to see Vaughan sat on the bench at the weekend, reward the efforts of Crowther, Harrison and Philbin and get in his ear about earning his place back, think it would be a great signal to those in possession that they hold the cards if they want to start next week.
