Then the point stands.

Decent team effort. No obvious MOM but Dwyer sparked us in the 2nd half. Russell was solid too as was Hill.

Russell sounded good from what I heard on the radio.

I went & I agree. Result was never in doubt.

Never even had to get out of 1st gear. Just bumbled around. We switched off completely for 20 in the first half and 20 in the second and still managed to put a convincing win together. Wigan's intensity will have affected us and with the short turn around for Saints on Thursday we've done the sensible thing by just doing the bare minimum to win.

There is still a lot more to come from Wire.

Very relaxed atmosphere around the ground and players in the sunshine this afternoon. They seem as though a weight has been lifted over recent weeks.

Tony said to me afterwards that Matty Russell would have been his pick for MoM

I tend to agree. He might not be the ball playing fullback Tony prefers but he is dynamic and gets the team moving forward.

I think Warrington have looked so much better with him at full back these last two games. The ridiculous thing now is the turn round before Thursday

Maybe the format going forward is Russell at fullback, Ratch at loose and Gidley/Sandow at halfback.

Stef only played at loose forward today because they were so short due to suspensions and injury. I'd expect to see him back at centre on Thursday.

I had thought that was the case. With us being so low on bodies, especially in the forwards, it is where we needed him most since we had Wheeler to cover at .

But, as has been said many times on here before: what do you do with Ratch? Where does he go? I don't think he should be at fullback when Russell is fit and when Gidley and (probably) Sandow come they will surely take the halfback roles. Mark_m said he was unconvincing at loose today and other would probably corroborate that (personally I don't think it's a good fit for him either). What other options are there? Finally move Atkins to the pack and play him at permanently? Would we get the best out of him there?

Perhaps it's the ideal time to move Ratch to loose forward.
With Lockers constantly getting crocked and Sinfield moving to the Darkside, Ratch would have no better opportunity to tie down an England starting spot by playing 13.

hey duckie how was your wakey trip
, i heard that bomer was bad behaved, you can`t take him anywhere!!

Bomber was as giddy as a dog with 2 balls and as messy as a baby with its first Walls funny feet.

Papa's undies, showing off his ginger hairy backside to all on the M62, were up and down more often than Joan Collin's knickers.

Arsenal Al's in built sat navigation system was as accurate as spin the bottle and his choice of watering holes were more thrifty than a weekend drinking with Chris Berry. (town centre dancing man)

Other than that another good day.
