Brilliant display by the whole team, defensively we we're Much much better then i've seen in a long time.
Attacking we were very good aswell and we seem like a very well oiled machine.
Goodwin was excellent, Austin was brilliant, Atkins seems like a new player who has finally developed ball playing skills, Toby King has put a little bit of size on and played well in the second row. Dec Patton made a few mistakes at the beginning but got better as the game went on and i think a few more games under his belt in the halves and he will settle right in and develop
And we still have the likes of Mamo, Currie, Livett, Tasi, Akuoala still not played so i'm very excited for this season.
I know it's only one game but we looked very very good

Not sure what game Sadman was watching but it wasn’t the same one as me; well played to all of the Wire lads

For me he was ok.
No I'm not waiting for him, or any other player to slip up.
DP is a squad player who has a big opportunity due to Brown's misfortune. I am not expecting top draw performances, but I'm expecting a solid, dependable season, as "OK" is acceptable for DP.
OK wasn't acceptable for Roberts last year, nor is it for the big signings this, or, next year, on a week to week basis.
In 2020, I expect Widdop and Austin to be first choice half back partners. OK for DP is fine, as that is what my expectation of him is, same as it was for GOB.
Our squad have different roles to play, as long as they fulfill them, I'm more than happy.

‘Strongest chaser’ Wakefield just lost 42-24 to London.

I didn't see that coming with Wakey. There doing Saints a favour then AS108

Happy to see a long paragraph off Saddened, usually means we are quite good.....if we get better as Blake Austin alluded to post match, I guess he'll dissappear as per a couple of years ago...

to the game... well pre match actually. i noticed Goodwin was practising catching high bombs while a member of the training staff wore a tackle pad on his back.
Bryson was jumping up hitting the pads in the air while catching the ball Aussie rules style.. my comment was "whats going on here never seen this before". He then caught faultlessly throughout the game... real atention to detail that the coaching staff and players should be commended on...

the game was superb stuff Austin looks great and everything i thought he would be, like a more athletic faster more well balanced Briers...

Watching it back on sky I skipped the whole season and thought wow He's gong to be partnered with Widdop next year...!!!

Patton was ok ..... ha ha only joking he was as good as the rest of the team apart from Hill Cooper Austin Ratchford Daz Clark and Goodwin who i thought were exceptional

As fans we see so many knockers and I'm one when I feel its warranted but even when it's not....when someone harshly or wrongly rips a player, we say nothing. When a player get a rap who may not be flavour of the month, everyone is horrified.
The RL family mentality is upside down.

I’m at a loss to sometimes understand the unnecessary debate.


Putting it succinctly we played extremely well last night. There are no negatives from that performance after game 1.

The “Wire Flyer” at half time, please tell me that isn’t our away strip he was wearing...

Stop talking sense.

I actually can't believe some of the nonsense on this thread, the bickering after such a dominant TEAM performance with Ratchford Goodwin Clark Charnley Lineham superb IMO honourable mentions for King Atkins Westwood and a great competitive debut from our star signing who looks on limited viewing admittedly like you'd want your marquee half back to look game one A Good chance of a nilling despite 12 on the pitch for twenty minutes

I really don't know what more anyone could want or expect and the post match interviews summed it up nicely for me they think there is more to come no resting on laurels at Wire I can't wait for the next game

Not at all. I simply loaned him my onesy for the evening.

I thought it was either Roy Asotasi or Tyrone Roberts

Did he swallow the amyl nitrate soaked tangerine whole, before the race?

I am afraid we had to force that down his throat before we let him on.
