I know there's some complaint about us not putting a kicking on saints, I'll take that win, at this time of year, it's play off rugby. It's better win than most will give us credit for.

2 points, let's move on.

Yes i just wanted the 2 points today. Wasn't too bothered about the performance much because i felt this could have been a banana skin. Although i was surprised how easily Saints self destructed.
I thought our defence was excellent. Relentless in fact. Its the kind of defence that Saints used to grind out games against everybody a couple of years ago.

Fair comment if you happy for us to just be 3rd. Top 2 would be better and if HKR slip up at Leigh well for us we need to put at least 70 points on in our last 2 games.

Yes we are in a much better place than last season but what is wrong with wanting more. Oh my name Oliver Twist.

You didn’t get out of second gear and still won easily

Yip that had all the hallmarks of them squeaking a win. Them lomax steps doing us. Their crowd not confident, half a side and then showing us up.

Didn’t get out of first. Was wonderful to see Saints reduced to celebrating a bog standard cover tackle so enthusiastically whilst getting battered. Weird and hilarious.

Really miss those snide & condescending posts from Saddened after a Wire v Saints game.

Not seen or heard from him, for a while on here or anywhere on RL Fans for that matter.

Hope he is OK and getting on with his life.

There are many things I could note from the game itself, but one thing that sticks out to me over at least the past season, is that I think we have on balance, the two most equally skillful and mature wingers in SL currently. Ashton and Thewlis are certainly the most impressive duo we've had in a Warrington team perhaps ever. Both absolutely safe as houses defensively, both can and will create a break or try from absolutely nothing. Both fantastic bringing the ball away from their own line. Cannot fault either of them. To think Thewlis is only 22 - with the head he has on his shoulders now. Amazing.

As a duo hard to argue that but we have had some great wingers in our past.
