Really enjoyed that last night - hopefully it's a turning point for Warrington. The league isn't strong enough for its bigger clubs like Warrington and Leeds to be playing so far away from their potential.

Wrench and Ashton looked good and Widdop seemed at home at fullback - he played very well there for England in the 2017 WC. Williams came alive a bit in the last half hour - prior to that he looked disinterested and flat footed to me. I wonder whether English players who come back from the NRL may struggle for motivation in their first year back.

It was a very entertaining game to watch last night, although I was very distracted by Everton's glorious heroics.

You put a real shift in last night, the effort was definitely there. Mulhern was probably the pick of your players for most of the game, but there is definitely something missing in terms of your creative players. Sky were orgasming over Widdop but up until the break, other than catching the bombs well, I thought he was poor. He and Ratchford were coming up with off the cuff plays, particularly on the last tackle and both made some very poor decisions that relieved the pressure before you could really build any. Williams wasn't in the game at all until the break either. There's so much quality between those three, but they don't seem to have worked out how to get the best out of it as a creative unit. Wrench was quality and I really rate Ashton as well. Madness that you're linked with players like Olpherts and Dufty on that evidence (Although I do rate Dufty). Your ultra quick play the balls and throw it around off the cuff mentality worked at times, but it's such a high risk strategy. If you start making errors you're going to put yourselves under serious pressure and I can see why you conceded a lot of points late on in games recently.

We weren't I thought, pretty lucky to get the win. We have great resilience and always turn up and compete, but we probably made more errors last night than we usually do in two or three games combined, must have been around 15 handling errors. We've been clunky since Dodd got injured but our attack last night was way off and we looked knackered. I do wonder if we'll use the Toulouse game to let a lot of the squad have a three week break now.

I thought the forwards stood up a bit more last night. Cooper and Mulhern were excellent. Philbin was better than he has been but didn't make a massive impact like the other two. Same with Bullock.
Widdop quite dangerous at FB and a safe pair of hands too. Holmes had his best game for us to date.
Only disappointments for me were King, Currie and Ratchford.
If you watch the game back we rode our luck a bit as Saints bombed 2/3 almost dead certs in the second half but our cover defence was great.
I just hope the effort and desire shown last night isn't just a one off and that we can see more of these moving forward. I watched the Redvee instant reaction on youtube and one of them said it was a really poor/boring game (or words to that effect). I thought the opposite. It was end to end stuff and exciting. We haven't had a thrilling game like that in ages. It was reminiscent of the Cullen days in the first fews years at the HJ.

Quote: Moe syslak "He's a centre and should play there. King should move to second row if he wants to keep playing for us.'"

Article in today's Warrington Guardian, where Powell says he will be playing Wrench on the wing to establish him as a regular 1st team player.

Later Wrench will play centre for Wire.

Quote: shinymcshine241 "The Roby video ref decision in the 2nd half made me reflect on some of the calls we've had over recent weeks. Full speed looks like he lost the ball.

Childs gives on field "no try" and I'm not actually convinced either way by what the video ref saw, who concurred with "no try" - as had it gone up as a "try" then I don't think there was a definitive clear view of separation to not award it.

Yep, it's chip wrappings as they say, but small decisions, as we'd seen, that can turn a game.'"


I think with it being Roby's 550th appearance (though Sky would never have told you) they just wanted an excuse to give it icon_lol.gif

Given the season so far, last night was a pleasure to watch and a pleasure to hear the crowd backing the team. Hope can keep this going, well done Wire eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif

I only caught the last 20 minutes of the second half, but what a fast paced 20 minutes, reminiscent of an NRL game.
It was one of the few times as a neutral (sort of) that I have actually jumped up off the couch when a break occured, i was knackered at the end of the game.
Hope Wire now kick on from this and finish the season strong, more games like that one can only be good for sport and hopefully attract more to the game

Really pleased for the lads last night & there were some encouraging signs in the overall performance & team playing as a team. Considering our main option of attack is putting the ball through hands to beat defences ,we haven't done a bad job so far with relying on backs & last ditch defence although our persistent problem is turning the ball over in the wrong part of the field. Get a a bit more size in the forwards & we should find it easier to control where the turn over happens & set a better platform for our attack.
Great to watch last night & a group of Barrow supporters near me really enjoyed the match.

I'm hoping this may the start of us turning the corner, with the impending announcements, of supposed releases, the outing of charnley, the public support of wrench, this maybe powell putting his foot down, which we all wanted, hopefully we'll see the same sort of performance next game.

I think we need to give a lot of credit to Mata'utia. Both tries came from beautifully timed passes. He has been a good signing. Widdop (one game of course) looked so secure and totally involved in both scores. Holmes was pretty active too.
Widdop, Ashton, Mata'utia, Wrench, Williams, D Clark, Holmes & Davis stood out for me on first watch.

Whoa! Summer and Swallows my man. Matutia and Holmes were both excellent last night and it's about time too - more of the same for the rest of the season please.

The sad aspect of last night is it again reinforces what we know- we had Davis and clark off the bench they had that wrecking ball offload machine. Imagine if we'd been able to unleash similar firepower? Victory would have been assured.

Yep. I nearly completed my very optimistic summing up with ... "but the usual problems of not making yards compared with the opposition finally beat us" but deleted it prior to pressing the SUBMIT button. I agree with you. But we've had it tough & I didn't think I would state the "flaming obvious" again.

I agree, far more positives than negatives and genuine cause for optimism for once.

Matautia was man of the match v cas and was superb v Huddersfield. He was great last night. The 'about time' comment can be aimed at Holmes(who wasn't even that good!)but not peanut.
