| Ill discipline, errors at the play the ball, back chatting to the ref. Have the players learnt nothing? They are either pig thick or taking the . I was hoping for a clear change in attitude but it seems from the commentary we have picked up from where we left off.

| We learned nothing, same passive defence same disjointed half back pairing. Yes a preseason friendly but nothing was new. Again Max Wood was the stand out, Harrison looked good, Dudson done more in this game than he did all last year.

I thought Dudson looked good against Widnes aswell, looked faster and fitter than last year, hopefully it continues.
How did Musgrove and Fitzgibbon do? I heard Fitz got injured the first half?

| Seeing your sets out, basics in rugby league, today Warrington didn’t do it in parts and when they coffed it up in was in their 30, too much of a leg up for Leigh I’m afraid , but only a friendly, move on to Catalans.

| 12-6 at half time is probably the best indicator. After that it was a heavily young Wire side in the second 40 - I don’t think I’ve seen a final pre season game with fewer first team minutes…
Leigh looked good, Moylan looked lively. My worry for them would be what’s behind their top 19, they did ok with injury last year, they’ll need to do the same again…

| Bugger, just read Luke Thomas was carried off with a knee injury ![Sad icon_sad.gif](images/smilies//icon_sad.gif) He was absolutely solid in the Widnes game, so hopefully it's not a big injury.

| Can someone find that ‘first 6 games’ topic.
Be good to revisit it and discuss where we see this seasons first 6 games going.

| I wouldn’t get too carried away. We started 2018 with a fairly average squad and slowly got into the grind, finishing up with two finals. If we see steady improvement over the first 6 rounds with a few victories and signs of being more resilient, I will keep the faith.

| We have essentially given most of our 1st team players 1/2 a game as a preseason warm-up, and it looks like we will be entering the season undercooked.
Leigh were very dominant in the 1st twenty minutes, then they ran out-of-steam and Wire did OK for the rest of the half.
The numbers of the Leigh players were a bit obscure, so it was difficult to see how many of their initial squad was rested in the 2nd half and when.
It`s far too early to interpret how our season will go yet, but our pack will need a bit more grunt to go with the welcome return of Paul Vaughan.

| Familiar times. Poor pre-season showing and we'll reach for the cope of "its just pre-season".
I have a bad feeling about 2024. Average squad and a coaching appointment which I was sceptical about from the start. I'm hoping for mid table stability with us being in the playoff conversation but fear we might have one of those turbulent years scrapping around the bottom.

| I know it was "only" a pre season friendly but I would have thought the players would want to set a marker down and show how they have left the shambles of the last 5 years behind with a new determined approach. But then I should know better, this is Warrington we are talking about. As for 6 games - that's unfair. Powell only got the 6 game judgement after a year in the job.
We will have to improve or there will be absolute fireworks, Burgess won't want to be seen failing so early in his career so the results will have to come or there could be an explosive parting of ways.
