One word for our result tonight - Forwards.

I can't think of one who stood out tonight.

Yeah, offside

Bit harsh that, Prescott was good as was Mossop and Coley amongst others.

Its our backs I am worried about.

i'll say one thing, i think mossop is a good runner/worker for a prop, imo he doesnt have the build for a prop but still gets the work done.

This, there just no threat when we whip it out wide...


Every other SL team had a tough job last year trying to throw Gleeson and Richards.

Outplayed in all aspects, offence, defence, kicking game and sheer enthusiasm.

Ref made a few awful calls and I still think the first "no try" should have gone to the video ref but I still think Wire would have been too good for us on the night.

Well played Warrington.

As a side note, Finch showed a few glimpses of what he can offer us but was, understandably, very rusty.

he looks like he has bags of quality and im glad he was rusty tonight. you look to have got a peach there, good job melbourne broke the cap eh?

Our pack was well beaten tonight and with the backs, no-one knows which position to play.

Sam is stuck at FB, but for me should be at SH.

O'Loughlin wasn't sure whether he is to play SR or stand-off and the new lad Finch hasn't had any game time for a match like this. I believe Roberts was playing tonight though he never knows from one week to the next if he is FB or on the wing..

Result = what we got, which was nothing.

Yeah Finch looked quite good for the amount of time out and obviously links with Hoffman very well.

We have a lot to come yet, and will only get better but tonights showing was very disappointing.

Lets not have any knee jerk reactions after one loss. We weren't at the races tonight due to a number of factors, the main one being we just didn't execute as well as Warrington. One yard back and Tuson is through, instead he knocks on. Lost count of the number of times we 'nearly' had the line broken but due to a misplaced pass it wasn't to be.

Finch didn't do himself justice tonight and you have to question his inclusion. I don't think it would have been a bad idea to have Locky at 6 against a team like Wire, extra forward on the field and muscle to try and met them head on wouldn't have been too negative in my opinion. The pass at the end for the Myler try was just panic to try and chance the arm a bit. Which brings me on to my next point...halfbacks.

Leuluai isn't cutting it consistently this season and I wonder how much it's down to him possibly training as a hooker in pre-season? Never really rated him as a 7 due to his poor kicking and lack of organisational skills. I lost count today of the number of combinations we had at 6 and 7, which is doing us no good in the long run. The trial with Sam needs to end and get him back at 6, it's painful watching our best player get smashed on every kick return. Finch as I said was poor and has some excuse, way off his best.

Forwards were lacking size and we were dominated by a bigger pack but we were never in a position to challenge. I'm concerned about the backs as most people are. The current three-quarters won't get us back to the top. Gleeson is badly missed and I hope his situation is sorted soon as we need him or another from outside to come in and boost our firepower.

Time to concentrate on Leeds, we can't win them all.

If thats also the Warrington way Then welcome to constant abuse from every other teams coaches about unfair tactics ect,welcome to the club. glad were not alone long may it continue see you in the grand final

We were ragged and they were razor sharp. They played it like a final and rarely put a foot wrong but we dropped everything.

Our forwards were just not good enough, it was exactly the same vs Hull at home until after the red. If we had shown the intensity in the tackle/carry that we did last week at Huddersfield it would of been a lot different and much harder for them but we didnt.

Wire just powered down the middle into good position while we just limped forward.

We lost to Wire at home last and still powered on through the season so maybe it an omen?

If its not a Wigan vs Wire GF this season i will be shocked.

We are definitely starting to miss Richards and Gleeson.

Not too impressed with some of the petulance tonight - Sam trying to kick the ball away after a mistake could have been a nasty injury to someone.

But not worth dwelling on too much, we'll be back.

Finch linked up well with Hoffman a couple of times - against weaker defences he would have been in a couple of times
