When Moon is running there should always be someone on his shoulder he nearly always creates space. Myler supporting Moon could be immense this year.

I thought we looked very sharp & determined defensively.
Singleton lead the pack well but the 2 stand outs were Walker & Myler in an all roud good Team display.
The win was well deserved & the scoreline flatered them imo.
On to Bentham i thought he was very inconsistent & it's very frustrating when replays show wrong calls before play has restarted.
In that scenario the VR should be free to tell them it's the wrong call.

Couldn't agree more on that, it felt like he reffed Warrington back into the game with some very lopsided policing of the ruck - a good example being that almost full length break where Watkins was tackled with the ball and he let them take as long as they wanted to get off him shortly after we'd been pinged for holding on a fraction of a second too long.

Add to that the farcical award of their second try despite two Leeds players being pushed to the ground off the ball, both blatant, and you ended up with a game that shouldn't have been remotely close being touch and go.

Overall good but not great. If we can up our intensity in attack and be more clinical we should be able to turn close games like that into games that are finished with 20 mins to go.

Really pleased with Myler and Moon and think if Myler can organise and Moon can be creative then they could form a nice partnership.

Pleased for Hall as he seems to have hit the ground running this season and avoided any international hangover that has seemed to have affected him in early rounds in previous years.

Also, Atkins dive is up there in comedy terms with Club's high bomb

Atkins dive was fantastic viewing....That split second when his train of thought went from 'this is going to be absolutely spectacluer' to 'that was absolutely embarrassing' will stick with him for a while.

Definitely the best Wire moment since half their team went Bailey hunting.

In fact, their contribution to the RL comedy hall of fame is up there with the best.

Looking at his twitter he is being a good sport tbf

Re: RD 1 | Warrington Wolves v Leeds Rhinos : Fri Feb 02, 2018 12:58 pm  

Just a thought on a couple of players, Golding and Keinhorst. And I may be jumping the gun a bit here but if Walker continues in the same vein of form he has started he could/will be the first choice fullback for many years perhaps. So with Golding having signed a 5 year deal, what does he need to do to get in the team? I wouldn't like to see that amount of potential talent getting the odd game each year or playing champ rugby on dual reg. or on loan. He could end up becoming very wasted indeed. On the other hand Keinhorst is in his last year of contract, beaten to the no. 4 shirt by Sutcliffe, playing in games/friendlies for basically the academy team and also not getting any regular game time since his injury last year. I don't see him featuring much and will leave at the end of the year. Would he be a loss to us?

When the team was warming up, I said it looked like Ryan Hall had lost a bit of timber. His fantastic try seems to back that up.
Good performance all round. Shame we didn't kill them off completely.

What's the difference between a great centre and an average one? The letter 'W'.

I agree, he has lost a bit of bulk and seems to have gained a yard of pace back, not to mention the mobility, and i think he will be a better all around winger for it.

Thought it was a fantastic turn out last night. Well done to all who made the trip over.
