Gosh. Somebody has actually beaten James Roby's tackle count in a match! Well in Walker!! (I was especially impressed by his launch from the line at whichever Wire player it was who he made to feel extremely nervous!)

It was Micheal Monaghan. It put pressure on for sure. But he is not just big and aggressive in the tackle. He does a hell of a lot of talking in the tackle, showing he can keep a cool head and control the tackle well.

Some great and some awful stats for the team.
Lance & Ade - you know who I'm talking about !

I'm just pleased my eyes didn't deceive me on the night.

Certain players anyway. Others appear to be entirely immune.

Not so actually. If it hadn't been for Lomax at the back and his great try savers, Wire could have won. While Roby looked more like his old self, Friday was much more of a team effort and we had more than one threat on the pitch.

We had two of them!

Roby’s stats against Leeds were pretty reasonable. It is more like run up in defence and stop the pack from making metres and you beat Saints. If Warrington had tried to run straight against us instead of passing from touchline to touchline they would have probably won. They did seem rather work shy. It is funny you take Morley, Waterhouse and Briers out that team and they look really ordinary.

I guess it was not a game that was won by making big metres. The stats reflect that LMS had a good game, when he has played well we have won and vice-versa. I don't know if that is coincidence or a factor? Again if the Wire pack had been physical then he would have probably not had as good a game.

Hats off to Walker for leading the tackle count, he is starting to look like a hard working defensive forward, more a classic number 12 than a prop. We have been missing someone like that since Mike Bennett retired.

Players like Ade missed a few tackles but that was mostly done coming out the line when Wire had overlaps. You can get a good hit in and it still count as a missed tackle, even if you stop an opponent’s progress enough to kill off the move. I think this is a case of the stats not being fair to him.

One strange one is Flanagan. He seems to do quite a bit during the game but when you look at the stats he has actually not done as much as you think. No big metres and only 20 odd tackles, not the best return for a working forward. You feel he could do a lot more.
