Although they seen to be working for us, those short drop outs are no good for the nerves.

Johnstone HIA the only cloud on an otherwise sunny day. Didn't come back on so assume he failed it. A week off will do him good.

Went down like a sack of spuds, nothing noted by commentary at the time but it looked game over for TJ to me.
Later they mentioned he'd gone off but I'd already looked for him at the restart after seeing the manner in which he'd gone down.
Odd that it wasn't noted during the try replays, I reckon 90% of Wakey fans noticed it, maybe that say's something about the commentary team alliances, or maybe not....I dunno.

IIRC he went to tackle Williams but just got pushed off and didn't get back up??

Maybe Tom should consider wearing a scrum cap? BJB has worn one for years and it's never seemed to interfere with his game.

No, there was a clash of heads, elbows, shoulder.....I dunno, It didn't appear intentional but he was clearly out before he hit the grass.
Not a good look imo, nobody needs to be taking many of them, especially those that are already a little predisposed to that kind of injury.

Scrum caps make no difference in these kind of injuries make it worse if anything

I wonder how significant it is that our old fitness expert is now at Cas!!
You can tell the different in the team.

Blowing my own trumpet I know but I’ve been banging on about our fitness since game one. We’ve come back in every game even Leeds. Difference was we were switched on today from the start even with the freak try. In the end we just had so much more in the tank than Warrington.

It’s our ace imo.

Channel 4 coverage bit biased so far.

Host is Warrington fan and 2 pundits are either from Warrington or ex player. All about Warrington virtually

I don't know about it being biased, they've certainly got the Sky disease, hate it when they show unnecessary replays when the game is still in play.

Some depressed fans on the Wire board but this is my pick...

Tom has just posted on Instagram that he feels fine, good news. Still expect he will miss the next match
