Under Noble it would have gone from being 16-4 down at half time to a 30 odd points drubbing.

We did not have the ball in the first half because we hardly completed a set, it will be interesting to see the stats on that one when they are published.

We were very poor other than the first 10 mins and the last 25 IMO.

I find this critism of the team a little hard to take, yeah we gave away a couple of penalties ( some fair others not so), we have beaten Wire for the first time since 2003. We where proper steam rolled in the first half yet turned the game around when we had the chance.

I just don't get it, I thought it was two very good teams, one great match and for us a fantastic result. Yeah there are things to work on but there always are.

Enjoy the result FFS.

I do enjoy the result hence the optimistic tone of my original post I think we have a champion team on our hands, but that does not take away from the fact that for most of the game tonight we were our own worst enemy. Individual brilliance won us that game not a good team performance.

The effort in defence was immense and if you look at the stats I am sure without knowing the score if you had to pick a winner you would have said Wire would have won it comfortably, but the stats are not where a game is won thank god and while we did not play great, and lacked direction and control I am more than happy with the result and the direction this great club is moving.

Although individual brilliance might of won us the game, I feel the team's effort keeped us in the game. I just think Wire are a very good team, who are fully of confidence and red hot at the moment they came out to smash us. We got smashed but in the end keeped on moving forward.

that we can win when we play poorly and show our title credentials.

Also, tonight proved our fans are THE BEST in the world.

damn right

You did not play poorly, come off it, now you're making it like you played like and still won.

we did.

we was nowhere near the standard we had been last week. Lots of dropped ball and awful kicking game. Our defence was superb tonight and we so could have easily lost it in the last minute.

We were pretty shocking other than the first 10 and the last 25.

Our fans certainly showed we are the best in the world!

Don't talk balls. Seriously, we dominated the first half and you dominated the second. Even match.
You just think you played poop because you came up against just as good a side.

I seriously think both sides have much to work on although Wire much more than Wigan.

I am made up with the result but I do not think the coach will be very happy with certain aspects of our performance, we played very dumb at times and made many unforced errors.

I get the impression in the build up to this game and the aftermath some Wire fans think that their team are much better and advanced regards development under Smith than they actually are.

Don't be so limited in your thinking. Jonh saying some aspects of our play were poor (ball retention, giving away penalties, poor kicking) does not take anything away from Warrington's performance. It doesn't automatically follow that because we did some things poorly that we think Warrington were anything other than fantastic (because in a number of game aspects they were). The elements of our team play that jonh is referring to were entirely in our control, nothing to do with how well or poorly an opponent played. Talk to anybody involved in coaching and you'll get the same response, teams are always looking at the areas where they did not perform well, and i'm sure McGuire is going to be going over the failings in training this week.

Don't have a chip on your shoulder and feel this means any disrespect to Warrington, it doesn't - you're a very good side and you played and bossed the game very well, but i'm positive that big nose is far from overjoyed that you didn't put it to bed when you were dominant, and likewise Maguire won't be thrilled about poor discipline/kicking/lost ball etc putting us under more pressure than we needed to be.

It's just a technical analysis of the game and our team's performance, don't take it so personally. Both coaches will be feeling they've got lots to improve on, as after all it's their Job to look at it from a professional not emotional view point. Emotionally Wigan and Wire were great, professionally and technically they both have a lot to improve on.
