Always happy to win, but my god, that was painful.

O'conner had an absolute shocker

Smith bounced back from some poor recent performances with a great game today

Walters the best of our young props, Oledzki quiet again and only noticed Holroyd for mistakes and stupidity

Mathematically safe from relegation now

After recent weeks most of us would have happily taken an ugly win. So much for all the doomsayers predicting we'd not win another game.

Not getting carried away, but they needed that!

Re: RD 22 | Warrington Wolves (H) : Sun Aug 20, 2023 3:57 pm  

Let's be honest we were poor for large parts and warrington should have been 2or3 ahead by half time. Good to get a win but as I said 2 pretty poor kamikaze teams who neither looked capable of winning.

Walters does things where our other forwards don’t; big loss for us next season we could go backwards with him leaving.

I’m not sure we’ve got the conditioning right for Oledski and Holroyd - do they just need to pack some size on?

Johnson is the more natural 9 than O’Connor but we’re gonna have to decide what to do about that next year; whether we need a new senior hooker or not.

I don't think an 'ugly win' is what most were after, more a performance that showed promise regardless of result.

Re: RD 22 | Warrington Wolves (H) : Sun Aug 20, 2023 4:07 pm  

Walters will be a huge loss, besides the offloads and breaking tackles the lad just looks like he wants to win.

A scrappy win lots of errors & still frustrating to watch but a wins a win. This win keeps our play off hopes alive some might see that as a good thing others will see it as a bad thing but it is what it is. Hooley was very good again today cleaned up well again at the back and supported well for his try. Sezer showed some effort today and put in some nice kicks it's a shame he can't do that more consistently. Cam Smith takes some stick on here but for me he'd be one of first names on team sheet in most SL teams as starting 13 his effort is always there and his footwork at line is great and he looked dangerous with ball and deserved man of the match today for me. If we scrape a few more wins in our last 5 games and HKR & Wire drop points we may take that final play off place and who knows what can happen when play off rugby comes round.

Re: RD 22 | Warrington Wolves (H) : Sun Aug 20, 2023 4:25 pm  

Smith is so much better when he goes forward and engages the defence first, using his footwork and short pass rather than skipping sideways as soon as he receives the ball, he was much better for that today.

Yeah like stands around out wide doing nothing then just gets involved when he thinks he’s a 6 or Gavin miller incarnate. Think you are way over estimating his ability.

Walters was our best go to forward today who ever is responsible for letting him go should be sacked Lisone is lazy Big Mick too soft Holroyd seems to be getting some form back after his injury, Bentley had a big game for me today covering defence and hungry for the ball near the line a win is a win.
