| Brilliant entertainment.
Some very sloppy stuff from us, at times (I thought Cooper had drunk 6 pints of Stella when he first came on), but we never gave up.
Great try from Myler.
Wigan must hate the sight of us, at their place. Wane will have gone home and kicked the dog.
Thank the lord for Richards' crap goal kicking, eh?

To be fair, I think Wane will be the happier of the two managers. Before the game many pundits and supporters believed Warrington would win.

| Warrington looked very rusty, plucky performance from wigan to keep us at bay. Still not convinced by Evans, thought we should have scored a couple of more tries if he had a bit more awareness of support around him.

You can watch it again on sky chaps......

| Quote Teessidewire="Teessidewire"Just watched the highlights of Sale v Exeter (blink and you'll miss them). Absolutely no comparison in the skills and intensity compared to what was on show at the DW tonight. Basic offloads have Miles Harrison and Stuart Barnes creaming themselves. If they had seen that one from Joel tonight, or the O'Loughlin one, they would have needed a change of trousers.'"
 great comment m8 and so true .
Great entertainment last night , no quarter asked etc..
Draw a fair result I think , well done to both teams .

| Quote leeds owl="leeds owl"It was good for a neutral as it was such a close game but it was far from a classic. If the Grand final was next week I don't think many teams would be too bothered about playing Wigan or Wire. Wigans kicking game was very poor and they look vulnerable under any decent high ball. Tomkins won't get away with completely missing 2 bombs every week and they certainly had the best of the decisions. Tony Smith won't be happy with a shedload of basic errors , but in fairness their handling and combinations will improve as the weeks go by. I wouldn't say either looked a standout team tonight, but like I said, as a neutral you'd want the televised games to be as close as that every week.'"
I must say you’re a bit harsh, and a little hard to please. If you thought that game was a bit lacklustre, try watching the sh*te international RU dishes up this afternoon! Bon appetit!

You aren't familiar with teams putting their bodies on the line in February in the league rather than waiting till September. Try it sometime, you may enjoy it.

| I think I'm suffering from a Grand Final hangover - Don't get me wrong, last night's game was a good one, played by two closely matched sides, and with a close scoreline, it had all the ingredients.... BUT, and I think this is a major problem for the game, all throughout I couldn't help but feel that if we got beat then it really didn't matter, because, in the grand scheme of things, these league fixtures are merely a long build up to the ultimate aim in September/October.
I know many will disagree with this, but as a more casual fan than many on here, I think I represent the neutral fan who is often mentioned as the type who should be seduced by Rugby League's great entertainment and while last night was a good game, it did lack that finality that great dramatic sport should have in order to entice the casual viewer.....Think back to the Olympics - How many people were enthralled with sports that normally you wouldn't give a monkey's for?.... The simple reason they were enthralled was that there was a prize at the end of it, it actually meant something and the viewer realised this and could associate with that.
With Rugby League in its present guise, it all still has a feel of a pre season friendly - Like watching Mo Farah in a warm up meeting, 2 months before the Olympic final.... Its still ok to watch, but it does lack a certain drama.

| Can anyone tell me why the charge down by Rhys Evans was given as a knock ,considering the rules have been changed. Was it because he didn't re gather the ball himself but it went to a supporting Wire player ?

He's knocked on after he charged it down didn't he? Not seen a replay so could be wrong.

He touched it forward a second time before it went to the other Wire player.

He initially charged it down but then the ball bounced back up and flicked him on the hand a second time. Unless the rule change you mention covers that then it was given for that.
