Fair comment about Hame, although it would have been interesting to see how he went under Gentle, I will watch his progress with Wigan with interest..

Yeah i went to Rovers friendly against Wigan and hes lost alot of weight so be interesting too see how he goes. Started on the bench today.

Just had a peep on Wigan board....They are not a happy bunch!!

Very pleased with today overall. Thought we played some really good stuff at times, and we look confident in our ability for a change. A couple of times we turned down the 2 and it paid off. Also nice to see some real aggression back in our play. Horne and Houghton were outstanding today, and there were several very good performances in the pack too. Sharp looks so much more confident it's like he's a different player, a couple of very well taken kicks and he worked hard taking the ball up as well. The final try was simply down to the sheer weight of possession Warrington had, was always coming (but I do have an issue with the way they had so much possession, Ganson had his usual hand in that IMO).

Only negatives for me were Westerman still looking a bit lost, and an unused substitute on the bench. Suggests to me that either Gentle isn't confident enough in Turner (in a way I can't blame him), in which case he shouldn't have bothered picking him, or that he was named just in case of an injury, which is a questionable tactic.

I would have been happy with a draw before the game, and indeed at half time, but I just can't shake the disappointment that we didn't get both points. Had we converted our chances during the second half, that late try wouldn't have mattered. Still, lots of effort and commitment, which is nice to see.

If only Martin hadn't missed that ball! Don't think they'd have come back from that.

Yep. We coughed up far too much possession in that second half and even a little more composure might have won us the game. That said, I thought we dominated the second half which is a very good sign going forward.

Anyone know what the att= was today?

Attendance was 12,710. Not bad at all given the conditions.

Looked a few more than 12,700 but it can be deceiving at times.

the old chav corner towards the middle of the east looked sp on tv

Thought Chav corner was close to the North?

Impressed with defensive structure today and some of the attack. Looks like there's a great spirit in there. Decent atmosphere as well overall good day despite late disappointment. Plenty to work on but plenty to work with.

meant to put the north east corner
