I was at the game and in any event don't have Sky Sports, but, understand that we aren't their fav's what was tonight's particular annoyance Browny?

Phil Clarke said we wouldn't make the 4 playing like that (inability to score)

tonight's annoyance must be a easy one for us all too safely say annoyed every one of us.
that was Eddie's ocd on Kurt Gidley for a mistake.
actually like the fact when Gidley did make the 1 mistake he made at the Base of the scrum. it wasn't actually referenced.

Yet pre game he was bigging us up saying he's waiting for us to put 50 points on someone -and it could be tonight etc. Was a right tune-change by the end.

Was at the game too (first of the season, up from the smoke), but watched it back. Cummings, as usual, didn't want a single decision to go our way. Eddie and Barrie laughed off the Houston 'hair tackle' on Sims, and all the team were tugging each other silly with the idea Philbin had done a double movement for ages until the real-speed replay showed how ridiculous the notion was.

In all fairness he's right...... we were awful in the second half. Luckily Widnes were slightly worse. (and they had Houston playing who almost wanted to win the match for us)

Widnes were there for the taking and we should have done a real number on them. Unfortunately the players thought the game was over at half time......... hopefully it was energy conservation for the game on Monday.

That was a special effort by Cummings to sound even more anti Wire than hemmings. I thought widnes' discipline was dreadful. It arguably cost them the game but the "experts " on several occasions talked about Warrington getting "benefit of the doubt"....

No problem with Phil Clarke he's right. ..our attack is poor but our defence looked good so we're taking baby steps at the moment. ... be interesting to see what Clarke says about Wigan though if they don't rack up a ton of points against their local rivals today ......

In a game based on scoring points an inability to score doesn't stand the team in good stead to win trophies. We can't complain though because Widnes were desperate for the win too & both teams showed they are far from brilliant at the moment.

Could it be that we simply consolidated our lead in the second half bearing in mind that there's another game to play this Easter?

Did anyone else think that when Gidley got caught out at the scrum that the Widnes prop broke before the ball was out? Should have been a Warrington penalty.

That was a strange decision because the ball was still in the scrum when the Widnes player broke free. I think Bentham missed a couple of Widnes off sides from kicks too.

You could hear the joy in Eddie's joy though as Gidley finally made a mistake..... anytime a wire player knocked he said it was Gidley.

Eddie - Wire hating and gets every clubs and players names wrong
Brian - not got a problem with him at all, decent to have on there
Phil - he's alright, sometimes talks , but fine
Terry - the worst, talks in thick riddles and says nothing of insight
John - shouts and talks too fast so gets himself mixed up
Barrie - not bad, but not good, again doesn't provide much insight

Every one of them though has a chip on their shoulder about Catalans and Wire. They hate both clubs. Listen to their commentary when either side is on and especially Eddie he sounds deflated when either team scores a try

You could keep Brian and Phil though and bin the rest off

We finished the Widnes game with nine first teamers missing and not a word, pretty sure we'd hear about it if it was Wigan. I think they didn't like us challenging the "big 4" they used to love us when we were the lovable losers.

The Sky team loved the days when it was a Grand final featuring any of Leeds,Wigan,Saints or Bradford. The fact that one of their darlings isn't in the mix any more and Saints and Leeds are not the teams they once were must pee them off..
