Thought overall Rovers were very much the better team.
However Warrington did have quite a few chances to go ahead etc and but for some embarrassing refereeing the score could have easily been reversed in your favour. The refereeing for the whole weekend seem staggering in terms of how pathetic it was really anyway.

I thought his passing was far, far better yesterday. Much crisper, more accurate and finding his runners, at pace. I thought the left edge linked extremely well, our use of dummy runners, and finding a player hitting a hole behind a dummy runner was excellent.

I've said earlier, for me, easily his best Warrington game.

I thought Monas was good when he didn't have to create anything. When the pressure was on, as usual he flopped and confirmed that he is actually not that good.

PS

I thought our kicking game was e.

Oh god, sickeningly poor. Some of the kicks through, by Bridge, that dribbled to Briscoe made me cringe.

I don't think there's been a bigger Bridge 'fan' on here than me, but I'm totally in the 'he;s a right centre, who can fill in at stand off club' now. Some folk on here, mentioning no names, are adamant that Briers is no miss, Bridge can more than handle the kicking game duties etc, well, simply, he can't.

The thng that was most annoying was Monas technique, he really boots it but he gets underneath it too much and puts too much loft over distance.

Summed it up for me when we were in their 20, last tackle play and bridge does a pooh kick when all it needed was a nice little delicate one behind the sticks, instead one bounce and for its out for 20 meter re-start.

Few minutes later, defending our own line, Dobson puts a neat kick in behind the sticks and therefore forces a drop-out, just summed it for me that. Briers back to stand-off, Bridge right centre ASAP

Watched the match on Sky.
Nip and tuck all the way.
HKR did just about enough to win it based on their 2nd half perfromance, but we weren't bad at all a couple of the tries were excellent.

We missed Briers nouce on the last tackle - particularly the grubber kicks into the in goal area - and we panicked in the last 5 mins after scoring our last try.

Was actually quite impressed with the backs going forward and King seems to be growing in confidence every game at the mo.
That's the TS influence.

I was frustrated at some of the silly pens we gave away - Mitchell's 2 in particular.

Even without Morley te forwards did well - Carvell and Rau in particualr.

Some daft pens conceded we eradicated this V Bradford and Hudds..
Poor kicking game...
We certainly missed the players we had on the sidelines..And we came up against a team in form and full of confidence....

As for Silverwood worst ref in the comp period...

As a Rovers fan i can say it was not our best performance of the season and in the first half we were poor. Can't comment on Wire but you have obviously improved tenfold since early season.
Both sides had players unavailable but in Fozzard, Gene, Walker, Lovegrove and Cockayne ......all these would have have made the starting seventeen IMO so our list probably covers yours in this respect.

Had some good banter with a few Wire fans after the match and actually met the w@nkaer with the drum

Your support was first class and probably equal in numbers to ourselves as the most support in Edinburgh.....on sunday, anyway.

Bridge was poo. Not a halfback.

Full credit to HKR, did the basics right and just about deserved the win. Justin Morgan deserves all the plaudits for turning a Championship side into GF contenders in 3 0r 4 seasons.Fantastic effort!

Dont think we can put this defeat onto losing Briers.We scored enough tries to win the game, and it was clear goal line defence was the main issue. Lee's presence would probably have worsened this.

The only player at the Halliwell Jones on our team this year that your fans wanted in their team hands down! He's a very good player, maybe not someone a lot of people would like as a friend but you cant say he's an awful player he's deffo got talent.

He isn't even half the player Briscoe is.

The Warrington discipline was absolute shocking and i thought we missed Morley.

Having 3 young and relativly inexpirianced forwards in the team was probably our only choice but Morley would have added more go forward. The disapline was shocking noticeably by Carvell and Bridge.

When we started to throw the ball around we were quite literally ripping them apart out wide, why we reverted back to one man rugby for the second half was beyond me.

Riley was a solid performer, Monaghan and Vinnie again had one of there better games, Bridge made some good breaks but his decision making let him down a little.
