actually we've got Hull and Leeds next, are you on the right board

Well we blew our chances and dropped some clangers.

i agree with the o.p

i thought warrington were the better team tonight, as much as i dont like the guy i thought lee briers was brilliant tonight. he kicked us to death.
we made some costly mistakes but there bench was the difference imo

They were the better team.

Leeds were the better team in the Cup.

Stains were the better team recently.

We need to find that 2nd gear, and quickly.

Hey maybe we will and Madge has it all in reserve for the playoffs. He certainly has proven that his coaching methods are superior to the rest of SL in the weekly rounds (or at least our league position would suggest that).

HOWEVER. The competition is not about who comes top after the weekly rounds, it's about who wins the GF, who can handle playoff pressure, and who can raise their game when it really matters.

Maybe MM has a plan for this and we are worrying unnecessarily, I honestly hope he does.

However, atm it doesn't look like it.

I'm over the moon tonight and we played really well. There were some great hits from both sides and to be fair the game could of gone either way.
I thought we were fortunate with a few key decisions and that 2nd half burst you had could/should have taken you further. Any game agains't saints,
leeds and wire (although we can't beat saint's for toffee) are hinged on minor incidents in the game like your near try with roberts foot just in touch.
6 months ago it was gutting when you beat us- especially as it was so close. It was so close tonight. Maguire has worked magic this season and in
the play offs you'll have a few players back and some of the injured back in full fitness. There's hardly any difference between the top 4 sides. Hull,
if they get their pack to full fitness, kr, hudds are all dangerous sides on their day. Another day another result. i'm really chuffed at the mo, same
i guess as you were 6 months back. there's a long way to go. saints will have eastmond and pryce back for the play offs. Leeds should have a fair
few back. Super league the best sport.

Wasn't much in it really, both teams was good in defence and pretty poor with the ball due to wet conditions.

I think tonight has shown that it's wide open this year, prob the only year in super league we can't predict who will be at old Trafford.

Also it shows if saints get there against pies or wolves on a wet night we stand a chance as you both are as bad as us in the rain

Well said that man.

Good to see a wire fan with dignity in success, thanks for that post! Well said

You played the right game plan, and deserved to win. Briers in particular was outstanding. Well played.

Agreed, they were the better side and deserved the win. Thought their pack hammered ours.

True. We went into the game with two recognised props and both got their s handed to them, we need some aggression in that front row big time!

We needed bodies more than anything in the front row. You could have two total psychopaths at prop tonight, and they'd still have struggled. We missed Coley and O'Carroll imo.

Totally agree, we do have other props who are fit though, maybe Madge got it wrong tonight??

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't pick Feka for a good reason, I honestly truthfully don't know. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to just not pick a player because he doesn't like him though, so if he got it wrong, i'm at least confident that he (and Wane) believed it was the right choice.

We would have been a lot stronger with Feka and maybe even Davies on the bench IMO. Four props with proper rotation. The coaching staff obviously have their reasons for shutting the door on Feka this season but everyone can see we lacked go forward tonight.
