A very tough task but I wouldn't rule out our chances altogether.

Defence is the key. We let in a real soft one for Sika Manu but Linnett is known as a good defender so we'll put that down as a rare lapse. Keinhorst also known as a good defender but missed more tackles than anyone and badly at fault coming out of the line for Faraimo's try.

Any of that kind of stuff against Wire and it will be a long afternoon but overall I thought we defended well against Hull. Warrington second half didn't look unbeatable as Leeds tightened up a bit.

I won't recommend anyone puts any money on Rovers and I won't be doing myself but it may not be the blow out most seem to expect.

Clutching at srtraws maybe but wire don’t have a great record against us? All I ever ask is that they compete to the end keep it tight & who knows. I think the defensive lapses against FC are part of the team settling down to playing with each other (at least I hope that the case)

If ever a scoreline didn't reflect a game! We've conceded some very scrappy trys today. Warrington can consider themselves lucky. Also who ever plays wire next will benefit from Austin not playing.

The ref allowing that ridiculous forward pass at the end of the first half was a load of rubbish, I’ll agree with you

What an effort,wire flattered by the scoreline.Two major observations 2day imo atkins is not a full back and dagger has to be given a chance at full backin the home game v london,also craig hall is a far better goal kicker than drinkwater.proud of our effort today and wire away will be a tough game for all.
As an after thought the halliwell jones is the best r/l stadium imo.

Lots of positives but ultimately frustrating. Austin straight red no doubt. Ref bottled it. Tompkins took out of the game. Mose stepped up.Garbutt was good again. The pack in general played well. Atkin had a mare,Dagger deserves his shot. Some basic calls missed by ref at key moments but also shot ourselves in foot a few times. Didn't really expect to win today but that yellow that should have been red was the key factor.

I’m a Wire fan and I can’t disagree with this, I thought as did others we were lucky to be in front at half time.
