| Well what did you reckon to that? Imo i thought it was our worse showing of the pre season, felt we did better against wigan and salford, or am i being a bit harsh. Really concerned about our defence.

| In agreement on today. Defence out wide is shambolic. Ridyard needs to be more organised for me in attack. Great first try. Second half was awful however. All one man drives. Allowing quick play the balls. Wish brown would stop throwing cross field passes as my heart is in my mouth. Play like today and get top 2? No chance. Must improve.

| no doubt we scored the best try of the match but we must improve our defence, and we must not drop the ball as much ,and how about a bit of variation in our kick offs

| Must say I was disappointed with today's showing.
When I heard the Wire team announced I thought we would beat them with a bit to spare. But we looked off the pace all through and Dwyer and O'Brien ran the show. Agree our out wide defence is poor and Riddy runs up blind allies too often for my liking. Also, I think he should be putting over straightforward conversions like the last one every time.
First half better than second, but I think all the interchanges affected us more than theirs did them.
Definitely improvement needed (but our first try was a belter )

| People say you should not look too much into friendly's. But I'm afraid when Fev are beating a Hull team with quite a few first teamers 54-6, and we lose to Pretty much Warrington's reserve side with a handful of first teamers you've got to look into it. Everytime the ball goes down browns wing something comes from it, I agree about the second half in terms of one out rugby. But on a positive note we got the Man of the match right for once in Higson,had a quality game!

953.jpg 2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

| Not impressed other than that try. Too many wild passes and distribution was poor. Still have no clue as to how good we actually are bearing in mind we have lost to effectively 2 SL U20s sides. The 4 stars Wire had today played no more than 15 minutes each.

| As somebody else said, still no idea how good we actually are, don't yet know who our first 17 are. Thats the problem with the friendlies, with the rolling subs it all just looks unorganised at best plus lacks any real match intensity. Seen a few flashes of brilliance in the games I've seen so still hopeful for the season.
See what happens at Halfax next week, personally I hope we lose so we get better odds on winning the league haha.

| I think we lost the plot in the second half with all the interchanges (but is that not what friendlies are for), and Im sure Paul knows his strongest team for when the games really matter.
Im not sure of our defence yet, are we sliding or man marking or a bit of both ? Alex Brown was lost in no-mans land on numerous occasions coming in from the wing, giving their wing easy space and tries.
It would be nice to get a win pre season but it all starts with Batley, we'll see a better result then....................I hope.

| I think we make some daft defensive errors and we need to be quicker round the play the ball.
Our best backs Higson and Brierley and our best forward was Ryan Duffy.
Hard to keep to a game plan imo given the number of interchanges in the second half.
Micky Higham wasn't on long but when he was he showed us up.

| Not bothered about the score of these friendlies. I will be more bothered if we playing and loosing in the league. What I was praying for was Jamie Acton to give Anthony England a good hiding. England is a first class tool and the sooner he runs onto an elbow the better. I think he was nipping Acton in the scrum because Jamie was agressively pushing him away all the time when the scrum was breaking up and the ref wasn't looking.
