yeah. I have no real complaints and Silverwood didn't cricify us (for a change)

I'm even more hopeful of success this year. We can be that depleted and that stagnant and stillcome out with minimal damage.

best bit was in the second half when hood knocked on and silverwood gave interference at the play the ball penalty..... then panicked and changed his mind to offside.

yeah that was a good one

Like I said, it's a harsh penalty but I see it given all the time. The only thing different in this case was Silverwood didn't spot it at the time and the VR gave the penalty instead.

Personally I'd like to see that rule reviewed, but as it is, if that's going to be given as a penalty in-game by the ref as often as it is being done, then the VR should be giving it as a penalty as well.

By asking a simple question?

That actually made me laugh.

how many fingers am i holding up?

Leeds were no great shakes either tonight, thank you very much.

Both teams made bad mistakes. Both teams gave stupid penalties away. Both teams had tries ruled out by the video ref. Both teams had tries given by the video ref.

Ultimatly home advantage was probably the difference. Take exactly the same game and play it at the HJ and warrington win by 8 points instead.

In that situtation you'd be posting wire won because they were the better team, not leeds lost because they played poorly.

PENALTY..... hands in at the.....erm.....OFFSIDE

This is the first start to a season in two that leeds have had a relatively full squad.I firmly believe in 2010 if not for having to switch players about with so many injuries ,they would have won the title then as well.Did westwood get away with much today?You see what could get to your team this year is pressure,by that I mean games that mean something,and if you dot win this years title it could be "all she wrote"

i think the two teams were very evenly matched tonight...both will be firmly in the mix come the end of the season.

I do believe that last seasons league winning/no grand final display has changed the mentality of the whole playing ethos.

Last season i think we would have approached tonight's game very differently..... you could see last season that the players really wanted to top the table... and it won us nothing.

of course we will want to win every game.... but tonight something just wasn't there in terms of intensity.

And I, and my bank balance, believe differently.

Definitely, and that's what's so encouraging......We played at about 30% against a Leeds side at, more or less, full strength, and we come up 8 points short.

Tonight's game as been one which both sides will take positives from, but, in the long run, I think most observers will be noting how different Wire will be with Monaghan and Hodgson playing.

I've said before that all the top sides have 3 or 4 key players who are crucial to a side's chances.....Have them all fit and firing and they will go close to winning trophies -Lose 2 or more of them and you are shafted.

Leeds without 2 of Sinfield, McGuire or Burrow?....Wigan without 2 of Tomkins, Finch or O'Loughlan??....you get my point?
