Very enjoyable in a nerve shredding kind of way, Havard and Smith take a bow lads

Ethan Havard won us that game. What an effort. One of the best front row performances any of our props have produced for years and years.

Nearly everyone said that after Smith given mom. To be fair to Smith that last kick was some effort.

Pleased Smith has something positive to hold on to, hopefully it’ll help him get over his awful form. I just can’t look past that Havard effort, with 12 men and little support from the rest of fhe front row. It’s a coming of age performance the likes of Adrian Morley. Jamie Peacock and Stuart Fielden in their prime were able to show.

It needs to be the standard he aims for every week now because that’s how good he can be. I always bang on about wanting more from him and it isn’t from a place of criticising, it’s because the lad can be absolutely anything in the game that he wants to be. He can be a superstar if he believes in himself and pushes himself.

Just to echo what people have said I thought Havard was brilliant, he’s a great player and I think really underrated, he’s going to the top imo, would just be nice to supplement him with some more aggression around him but he can do big minutes and make big meters, you can’t ask for a lot more from a prop.
I thought our defence was brilliant and we dominated up until the last 10 minutes but that was understandable, we really were out on our feet the last 5 minutes and Warrington blew it really but I’m not complaining. No matter how poor we have been this season in games we have shown up in a big game again so I won’t lose hope we can pick up silver wear this season, probably got the best semi draw too.
On another note, although not the biggest crowd it was better than what a lot predicted and it was a great atmosphere.

Think the team were excellent in effort and game managem , Havard was the best forward on the pitch by a long way, Smith controlled things brilliantly and French was very strong in defense. But the first 12 today were excellent . Hill loooked strong when he came on - looks like a prospect. What happened to Singleton - he came on brielfy second half didn't make much impact and then disappeared very quickly - did he pick up a knock?

King was good as well made some great metres- and his pass to Miski for the try was very good for someone who can't pass!

The knives will be out for Powell.

You'll probably go on to win after that but really what was the need. Absolute brain fart to even go out of his way to push Ratchford to begin with let alone butt him twice.

It was a stupid action and one that could have been costly. If I was a Wire fan though I would be extremely worried following that performance.

I forgot to mention King, I thought he was quality bringing the ball up and always looking for an offload.

How bad was the Ellis incident, only catching it on the screen it looked more like a football style pushing of the head more than a headbutt, the red must have been warranted as I haven’t seen much defence, was silly after a good start but maybe shows how fired up we were.
