Warrington really are chokers against Saints, end of story. They can't even manage to beat Saints in the league after all these years so what chances do they have of winning a trophy.

And the jokers on Sky who tipped Wigan and Wire to win things this year must be really taking the mick!

Not forgeting the dodgy play the ball for Highams try!!!!!!!!

All Westwoods and Morleys high and grapple tackles plus numerous lying ons at the tackle by the wire.......yea, they were cheated again........

If you can't hold onto a 14 -0 lead after half time with us missing 5 yes five conversions then you don't deserve to win....................

What about Fasavalu playing the ball, when Rauhihi ripped the ball??
Knock on!!! Thought Maurie was gonna throw Ian Smith out of KR... That led to 6 points...
Gotta admit Ian Smith has gotta be one of the worse refs in SL

Correct. I said it before the game, and i'm saying it after the game. He's absolutely sh!te.

Smith was tonight as usual and looked as though he didn't want to give us a decision. He always found an excuse not to.

I agree, Wire have got to learn to play for 80mins, they play for 55mins and only manage 14 points, Saints step into overdrive for 25 mins and score 26 points. When Saints scored those first 6 points it was game over for the Wire. Also Penny will never make a Rugby League player.

I disagree. He can't defend at the moment as everyone knows, but the minute he learns to defend (which will come with experience) then he will become a very good Rugby League player. As much as i dislike him, he has the potential to become a very good RL, especially with his speed.

Maybe with experience and some decent training (which he doesn't seem to get at Wire), he would improve a lot.

Mr Penny would have been a legend had he come through at Wigan in their glory days. He is an awesome finisher, but being put under pressure with such an incredibly weak centre does him no good. He fails to handle basic defensive situations and for a kid who's supposedly got a basketball background, his hands are terrible.

I would agree that a move to a team with a proper coaching setup is something he should look into.
