What a pleasure to watch some honest effort and enthusiasm.
Leeds had nearly all the possession in first 10 minutes but were limited to one try.
Wire kept plugging away and overhauled them and took a substantial lead.
The nearest Leeds got was within 6 points in second half but Wire then pulled away again for a comfortable winning margin.
Some good performances today - Grix and McCarthy caught the eye, and the forwards ran well and supported each other.
2 negatives - poor Penny still looks lost in defence and when trying to judge a catch, and the referee was nearly bad enough to earn his place in SL.
Some of his decisions, against both sides, were a joke. No wonder some of the players get frustrated and get involved in a "brawl". The ref had no idea where the shoulders ended and the neck began.
Overall, a most enjoyable afternoon, and I shall certainly be going again to watch this team.
Strange though, walking down Fletcher St again and looking out over the old ground.
Just hope for the same level of effort and enthusiasm tomorrow.

yep it made me feel sad seeing good old wilderspool all rusty and broken down. was thinking about all the historic matches that was played there when i sitting there.

yeah i think this team will do well this year and i shall defo be going to watch them again.

It obviously worked a treat then.

And where were you, Mr JWP?

I did send a woof mail this morning.

I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me.

Oh, and it's John.

There was a good canine turnout.

pics online with report now

A couple of years ago i took pictures of Wilderspool before the spring clean with the hedges and weeds etc. If i can find the cd there on i will have to finally put them online. Always nice to go back. Glad we left though.

Blythe was poor to start but came good as the game went on. It was Penny was evident that penny needs support in the reserves, perhaps he had a better supply last week, according to league express Mitchell supplied him well. Cooper was excellent , hope he has somethink else if he gets the call 2moz!!
Gaz o brien shows real prospect but seems too quiet and i think they missed Mitcell/clarke for direction cuz Griz was quiet until he got the 13 position after Mccarthy came off. Overall a scrappy performance but wen you play badly and win comfortably it's a sign of better things.........
heres hoping.

i took a few snaps before a stewerd came over and told me i couldnt take pictures



yeah we needed a new gaff. still its a shame
