| A good old fashioned trousering is on the cards.
Hull have given up already.

| I think that first half is as good as it gets. Brilliant.

| Ironic really. We are playing our best rugby in 10 years and the man who brought the original brand to the Wire is the one suffering.
The next three games are huge, but at the moment it looks like only injuries can derail us.

| This is the worst half of rugby Warrington have played all season. We’re still 22 points up at the moment so life isn’t too bad.

| That second half was awful and ought to be a wake up call that we can't take out feet off the gas! A decent side would've made much of that, whether they had one eye on next week I don't know. Admittedly the game was dead at HT but we need to be more ruthless and clinical in second halves.

| Hull were their own worst enemies.
They were always going to be up against it, but far too many basic errors and a lack of desire/enthusiasm.
Even when things went wrong for us we often ended up on the front foot - hope Russell is ok (but we had Thewlis on the bench!).
Hull were better than Cas for sure.
Would have liked to keep them to nil and I think Daryl will find a few things to work on.
Suprised Vaughan played so many minutes given what's coming up.
Dudson didn't return. Not sure if there's an issue there.
Matautia 4 different positions in the first 7 games. Respect.

Game was won. Forget ruthless & clinical. Our first half was superb. Of course they have one eye on next few weeks. Basically once the game is won the big guns have to keep out of trouble.

| I know our props have rightly taken the plaudits this year but Currie and Nicholson were outstanding today. Great to watch in attack and defence. As others have said, Ratchford is playing like a man possessed. Gave Savelio absolutely nothing.

| ...and clearly if we are in a close game, we won't switch off. However, if we are 28 nil up at half time in any of the next three games, we'd be very pleased with a 6 all second half!

Exactly this. They earnt the right to take the foot off the gas and coast. There has only been one game this season that we have had to play out of our skins second half… and we did.
There is always going to be a drop off when you go in 28-0 up at HT. Fantastic display and result.

| Obviously Vaughan, Dufty, Williams and Ratchford were brilliant today. But perhaps I was most struck by Minikin's performance, I thought he did lots of great stuff with and without the ball.

Totally agree. Minikin was excellent. Proving to be a very handy squad player to have.

Looks he's fully fit again and full of confidence. Gives Powell a great headache.

49863_1309431041.jpg Neither glass half full or empty. Just a realist.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_49863.jpg |

| Great stuff in that first half. It seemed we'd score/make massive yards on every set of 6.
Keep it up, Wire

| Minikin looked like a monster in defence at times. I don't understand where this has come from. He could be pretty handy in attack when Cas were at their best under Powell, but never remember him dominating players in defence like he did today. Also, got to mention Ratchford who smothered Savelio one-on-one all day. No mean feat.
