It was exciting thats for sure. We scored some scintillating tries. The first 30 minutes was pretty much perfect rugby from us.
Again though we let the opposition have a prolonged spell of dominance and in this case first 20 of the second half Wire ran in a number of tries and it was catch up rugby from there.

Crashmon you summed it up very well, its so near but so far but something we had control over so we can't blame anyone else.

Still 3 games to go all winnable.

WQ you know it's one of those really annoying things, if we play like we did for spells last night we should tear Halifax apart, Widnes and Leigh are both games we could win, I think we will possibly win 2 out if those 3 and just fall short again.
As for crashmon, hey it's sport fella it's how it goes, walking away is just denying yrself the best sport in the world

I think last night summaries the whole season, brilliant spells of exciting rugby mixed in with spells of under performance/lack of concentration.

Its been a roller coaster ride thats for sure, certainly puts you though a variety of emotions.

I think realistically we will be in an exciting championship next year with Toronto joining, Toulouse hopefully learning from their back end down turn, HKR/Widnes/leigh/Catalans being favourites, Fax and Fev in the mix, its a pity the Bulls wont be there. Let's hope Hendo and co take a hard look at the season and make the necessary changes.

Areas for me;

Defence being tighter
Play for 80 mins
A couple of higher grade props
A strike centre
An old campaigner to manage the team on the field.

My thoughts on our strengths

Some great halves and hookers
Good back row
Very good in attack(although I'm not sure we go wide enough at times with ball in hand and use our wingers)
Very fit
Im sure there are many more

Agree with most of that mate.
The game does tend to ebb and flow in 15 to 20 min periods with who is on top, it's how you handle the times when you are not in command.
Think last night and at KR we showed we can play an expansive game, even on our tight pitch.
Fwds last night mark L played well and Eddie B I think had his best game in ages, but yep we need anther big grunt fwd.
Game management and a leader on the park is a big thing for me.
Tackle technique is the biggest coaching point

NB you say that the two touches were very experienced. What you did not state was experienced in what? I ask because it did not appear to be much to do with rugby league.

Great game disappointing result. Missing touch just before half time costly, did Ackers kick?

Thought our try line defence was exceptional, but Wire were good at first and second plays and made lots of yards, we can win all three of the remaining games, just need to keep concentration and avoid those bad 10-15 minutes!

Much, much closer than I expected. Warrington's defence was pretty poor, certainly for a club of their stature, but we played well for large parts of the game. 1-17 worked hard and really gave it to Wire.

Everyone knows we need more impact off the bench, to supplement the work Eddie and Mark do up front. The trouble is finding someone for the right money, right motivation and desire to live in London. And a strike centre over on the right would be helpful. I also think some of our players really need to bulk up - Walker is a prime example; great ball runner but at least a stone underweight. When SL teams get on a roll we get pushed back too easily and give up ground as a result.

Overall it was a good night, and I took a couple of newbies along who enjoyed themselves.

Again bang on mate.
Thought Eddie b had his best game in weeks, his attitude was tops.
You are right about walker he does need to bulk up

And as it stands Battye is out of contract at the end of the year.
I hope he is one of the few that Hendo mentioned have re-signed but not yet announced.
Along with Pewhairangi.

Worries me that Api still hasn't been signed up.
Thought Battye was excellent on Saturday night - could do a lot worse than keep him on.

He needs to do it week in week out, and not a one off.

Rumour that Api has turned down a two year deal.
