Quote: oggy123 "To be honest I was impressed with foster was strong in defence and pretty lively around the ruck! Not seen much of harper in the past but the game just passed him by, he's a young lad so I'm not writing him off! I've just been looking we had chase, Hansen, matuai, Tonga, Beswick all missing who would all be in the 17, plus McNally and worthington going off early it's not all doom and gloom'"
Didn't get to Warrington, but I suspect that is a key point 'oggy'. You can add to that, Brierley and Emmit just feeling their way back after operations, and it is easy to see why we may not have been at our best, which we would have had to be to cope any better against a top 4 SL team.
I hope our injured players are soon on the mend. Meanwhile, I wonder whether Pownall or Brierley will get the full back spot, in Gregg's absence? To me, Ryan would be able to play a similar attacking style to McNally, plus it may temporarily ease Paul's problem of fitting Ridyard, Chase and Brierley into the same team!
