Warrington's 4 props made a grand total of 205 metres, Saints 4 props made a grand total of 395 metres thats almost double.

Warrington's 4 props made a grand total of 11 missed tackles, Saints 4 props made a grand total of 3 missed tackles.

Warrington's 4 props made a grand total of 3 tackle busts, Saints 4 props made a grand total of 9 tackle busts.

So over the full 80 mins guess who bossed who in that front row battle, because Warrington's props looked completely gassed in the last 15 mins, and that was why Clark + Austin couldn't get on the front foot to challenge.

Lmao. “Decimated” us.

They’re incredible stats when you consider we had no recognised hooker on the pitch.

Can't argue with anything Saints are saying, they have big solid forwards who play long minutes.......we don't. We are seriously lacking another solid big ass prop which everybody knows. I would love to Keep Akouala and i really liked him at loose for us. Jason Clark is defensively good but his attack is not great and i really like Davis but he's small even for a second rower and can't punch his way through tackles or even make yards after impact. Really hope we can sign a decent Forward for next year.

Where we saints suffered was in having no recognised hooker to make better use of that pack advantage.

Put the best hooker in SL back into the Saints side and the damage would have been far worse.

To me it looks like ratchford is the only hope for Warrington to add some much needed creativity .

Ironically Warrington had a player sin-binned. They'll probably claim this was a turning point in the match and they could've won without it!

No doubt their superstar overpaid under 19 halfback went missing too

For a game that was just about another 2 points and it didn't matter if they lost, our sintellins "friends" have a lot to say about it on the Wire forum

Let them be. Its our duty to look after them - a bit like 'care in the community'.

I feel the same about this match as I did after the final league match at Vape Park last season. We are not a million miles off.
As for the criticism of Austin, when we are so conservative in attack the opposition know if they smother him the job is done.
We are really missing the alternative that Ratchford offers.
It was a good game, in the balance until the missed goal. Of course their first try would have made any NFL quarterback proud.
As for the Saints fans, I wouldn’t take too much notice, they still argue that the Ben Flower sending off played no part in them winning the GF. One eyed doesn’t begin to describe them.

You should come to redvee rubber duck has their own thread.

Yes I agree.
We could play poor and win well with Ratchford

Not really, we are plodding along a week at a time, if that means the result bringing Wire down to earth then so be it. At the end of the day we've just got bragging rights banter for a week.

He'll wander of it when you're not looking, and turn up elsewhere!

These games are like buses, there will be two or three coming in a short space of time, before October's out.
