Bang on re Hampshire, he has it all and should be playing in the half backs, Miller was poor again last night, going missing again for much of game. We need Hampshire with his hands on the ball as much as possible, he should also be first choice goal kicker. Next match I would play Brough and Hampshire at 6&7 and Jowitt at full back.

yes agree with belly rocky should be at 6

Thought Miller was fantastic in that second half last night, he seemed to create a lot of space with the ball and had a lot of involvement in most of the good things we did going forward so we were obviously watching different games? If anything Brough was the poor half in last nights game he threw the ball to ground about 4 times, his kicking wasnt the best but I still saw the value in what he brought a lot of value to us in that second half. Not too sure what the issue is with singling Milky out, I thought Hampshire played well at Fullback and I think he is becoming more and more comfortable at number 1.

A strange feeling after that one. Boy, was that last 15 minutes exciting, wow.

Warrington's line speed and exploiting our left edge got them well on top and we looked like being on the wrong end of 50 points.
Bur, the comeback was magnificent and Wire were left clinging on, desperate for the hooter.

With Brough controlling the game and Hampshire posing more questions that an edition of Mastermind, plus Big Dave causing mayhem, we looked to be heading for golden point.

There's so much to take from that loss that it bodes well for the run up to Easter and hopefully we can be right up there challenging for a play off spot.

Great entertainment and a massive display of guts and determination from the boys. Bring on Salford !

Thought Hampshire and Wood outshone Brough, who threw three or four passes on the floor.
Great come by Trin, look forward to the rematches later in the season.

Equally Brough's pass to Rocky for his try was top quality.

[quote="musson"]I couldn't make the game and watched on sky but have to say
Milky was awesome

I disagree, Musson. I thought Milky was anonymous for a lot of the match as compared to his recent games, and him giving away silly penalties in the first half gave Wire two of their tries.

Re: Warrington : Fri Mar 22, 2019 6:48 pm  

The problem with Rocky at half back is with ball in hand he kills everyone’s space by either being too bloody quick and moving into the runners line or hanging on to the ball too long.

I think that’s why Wigan put him in at full back - it suits his strengths perfectly. Hopefully now he is a bit older he can see this, didn’t he fall out with the Wigan establishment over it - he wanted to play half back?

Re: Warrington : Fri Mar 22, 2019 7:09 pm  

I’d leave him at FB personally. Him linking in out wider getting on the outside shoulder of the defender with a turn of pace

Always a pleasure going to your place. Last night's game was great for the TV audience and hats off to Wakey for their part in the spectacle. You'll be in the play-offs.

Not seen too much in this thread about Thaler and his part in the comeback. Perhaps one of you could pop round his house and get his thoughts?

Anyway, congrats on the ground news, I hope the charm of the place is retained as you redevelop.

Honestly ?

Didn't think the ref had a bad game, there were plenty of wins and losses for both sides, Wires penalties conceded were mostly justified as were most of Wakeys.
There were calls made against incidents where points were scored but it was a vid ref game, If Thaler wants to favour one team ahead of another he A. doesn't ask the vid ref or B. doesn't favour a team in front of Sky cameras.
In any case, in the context of the game Wire getting an odd score chalked off shouldn't see them scrape a 2 point win after being 22 points up, if they play like they did in the 1st half, it doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
I mean you can go through the game analyzing every incident and make a case contrary to the ref if you want, but I'd be more worried that Wires 1st halves are writing cheques their 2nd halves can't cash.
The idea that Wakey did nothing but accept penalties in staging a recovery is a bit tight as is the idea that Wire were not at all forced in to conceding them.
Don't come to Wakey and expect to just walk it, be happy you got the 2, and that you have the opportunity to put right your failures for next week...

Re: Warrington : Fri Mar 22, 2019 10:09 pm  

There are too many things going on for the blame to only rest with the officials.
Wire played dumb at times and Wakefield were irresistible at the end but Thaler was hideous throughout.
