As did the forward pass from Westerman after a quality break and wire under all sorts of pressure. In reality it was how we started that cost us today. 14 point we gave them before we woke up. I’d also look at the left edge defence that leaked 4 try’s at least.

Chester says Tanginoa, Ashurst and TJ will all play Wednesday and Westerman and Lyne came off for precautions and will be fine.

Spot on assessment , we just can’t keep the consistency of our best performance going . For me if we could have played at the Hudds or HKR intensity it would have looked a whole different game and scoreline .

Alas Warrington are a better team and can hurt you more than Huddersfield and Hull KR.
I'm sure the intention was to do exactly that.

As for Lino dropping the ball, when you handle it s often it sometimes happens. Didn’t Blake Austin do exactly the same?

You're right Warrington are better than Huddersfield over a full season, but yet just a few weeks ago Hudds were 20-0 up at wire at half time, then we were 30-0 up at half time against Hudds?! Where's the form line in that?! It just shows it's turning into a bit of a weird season, look at Cas, last 3 league games all at home, have conceded 120 points! I won't say there will be never a better time to beat them, because it's a hoodoo we just can't seem to shake, but surely there will never be a better time to beat them......

I’m quite happy with that score.

It’s realistically where you would expect us to be, you don’t go from a beaten team to challengers overnight.

For me Warrington on paper are the best team in SL after Saints.

I think when we play Warrington at home we have a chance of beating them.

We scored 3 and it wasn’t a blow out score line by modern standards.

We have to accept that beating Warrington, Saints and Wigan on their own turf with no away support is a very tall order.

I think the coaching staff will be ok but clearly not ecstatic. Encounters like this will hopefully make us far more prepared for Cas next week.

At home against a far more unpredictable team and a derby game, a shock is far more likely. No one will care about last night if we can beat the old enemy.

Did anyone see Max take a proper high tackle and ref just dismissed it. Proper swinging arm and didn’t miss. Think it was Mike Cooper.

Yes it was early in the first half I think and got clattered round his head. Ref did just ignore it though it could t have been more obvious and in front of him.

I thought he killed us at the ruck the ref. When Tupou was picked up off the ground twice and carried back 10 yards his feet leaving ground twice ref didn’t call held and he almost ended in the in goal. Have the rules changed where you were held when both feet were lifted off floor? Or did I imagine that.


He wasn’t the reason we lost but I felt Wire go a lot of leniency in the ruck and being a step in front of the ref offside when pinning us reapeatedly in our 10/20.

You kind of just come to accept that they are inconsistent these days. We got rock all until second half and then the flood of evening up six against and penalties came to even the scales a bit. Unfortunately we didn’t capitalise and didn’t execute our chances.

Too many times in that last quarter when we were in a good attacking position Fifita took the ball from a standing start with little ground making effect. When he runs hard from deep he makes at least an extra 10 metres.

I don’t think Dave is fully fit yet.

He’s basically had a two year lay off. He’s not a natural athlete, I reckon another few games before we see the best. The best I will add won’t be that of three seasons ago Im afraid, age and all that.

One word

Ashurst.

Bill plays better when Ashurst plays. Not sure of the technicalities but he defends far better when Ashurst is with him.

You may have a point there. Ashurst is back vs Cas and we will have TJ too. That’s our starting left side. Looking forward to seeing what they can do.

we just dont have enough to beat the quality teams this year - we just need to win the ones like we have to be safe
