That match has no bearing on next week whatsoever. AK will receive a ban and rightly so. Eckersley seems the only sensible replacement to me. The lad is big, strong, fast and agile.As for Dupree, I think the incident is being over scrutinised. Anyway, I think Wire should be applauded they certainly took the match to us and, apart from a golden period, had us under the cosh for long parts of that game. It makes for an intriguing contest next week, we might now be underdogs. Wembley will be won by the forwards and we need to get back to what we do best, high completion rate and good field position.

That was a hard watch, several players were really off the pace and playing themselves out of any wembley squad, too many also got suckered into silly plays with the homer ref being only too keen to penalise. Two points gained but maybe the cost was too much , hopefully Marshall and Junior are fit for next week.

Keighran will cop a ban - only mitigation was the tackled player was falling but he made no real attempt to wrap his arm which made it look much worse, under current rules it will be a significant ban I suspect. Shame as apart from that he had a decent game and his goal kicking was on point.

For me I think we will go Eckersley in the centre and with Faz back probably Walters on the bench as cover in the second row and Faz can move to centre if needed. Puts us down one prop on the bench though. Hopefully Dupree does not get anything - as he made a difference when he came on (much better than Byrne who along with Hill may well have played out of the CC squad as neither really stood out).

Strange game to watch. A difficult watch as we got sucked into a real helter-skelter game but my gosh the referee helped. An 11-4 penalty count at the end, our players were visibly frustrated with him. Both Ellis and Leeming gave him a piece of their mind, not like us at all.

On the major talking points, keighran will get a ban unfortunately, Dupree will be fine. On injuries, Marshall and Nsemba looked alright at the end.

One of the few positives we can take from today is that it's reduced the chances of Wire ambushing us at the start of the game next week, our mentality in the first 20 was poor. Hampshire was dire and at fault for 2 tries with positioning. It's all about the first 20 for me next week, we nail the start I think we win the game. Our bench is light years ahead of theirs when we're on.

Edit- I thought Matt Peet was brilliant post match, so honest. The less said about Burgess' arrogant manner, the better. It's the first time I've not liked Burgess with how he came across.

Apart from not losing it’s hard to imagine how that could’ve gone any worse

There’s a small chance looking at Keighran’s challenge that he gets a fine and/or a ban. He’s not gone in with a swinging arm, he’s stood his ground and connected high whilst the player is going down. I still think he’ll be banned but we’ve seen worse this year.

Keighran will be banned, absolutely no doubt about it. It was very marginally worse than Matt Moylan’s on Field and he just got a fine, so no grumbles with a one game ban but they should kick up over anything further. Dupree will be banned as well and rightfully so. How you lose your head like that with a week to go to a major final is beyond me.

It’ll be a great chance for Eckersley and Hill IMO. That’s who I would play and I thought both were incredible today. If Liam Byrne gets in its bang out of order. I rate Byrne but he was way off again today and contributed massively to the slow start. Hill on the other hand raised the tempo and should play for me.

To be fair, Harry smith got let off for worse so he could play in the WCC. AK will be fine. The MRP will just ban a saints player instead like they always do

But you still have to play Wire again after the Challenge Cup, where they’ll not be resting any up.

“light years ahead”?
Good grief.

I mustn’t of been watching on the Dupree hit but surely there nothing in that from Dupree. He can’t be that stupid can he? Not for one second saying he’s not done it but it’s stupidity if he has. Kieghran was silly and should cop a ban the only saving grace I see is the lad was loosing light slightly

The big positive to come out of that game is it gives us 100% focus on our discipline and start.

I think Bryne played his way out of the team, and having Thomson back we will see a different start to the game.

While i expect AK to get a ban, I'd like to see in real time how much time he had to do anything different. If the player is stood up, his left arm has time to come round and make a normal tackle round the body. It's petty tough for the players when that's judged in slow motion.

Powell was holding Dupree down in the tackle, Dupree was trying to get up, he gets pulled forward and makes head contact. Nothing in it if you look at the full picture.

I think Dupree may be ok. There’s an argument to say he was trying to get up quickly.

Warrington will feel confident after yesterday though. There’s a lot more of their players to come back into that team than there is for Wigan.
