Sav, LMS, Turner, Roby best for me.

Makinson's hit at the end when they had an overlap won us the game.

I do think that it's legitimate to ask whether we're using Burns effectively. We looked like a team without a halfback again out there, but we did have a halfback!

He's been a massive disappointment for me. He should be controlling games for us especially in Walsh's absence but the buck always seems to fall with Wilkin.

Massive win for us that, possibly the biggest of the season with Wigan winning yesterday and Leeds obviously losing. Great effort to keep Wire scoreless in that 2nd half. Hopefully we can get Percival and Walsh back very soon to improve our attack.

Percy outside chance of next week ive heard. Walsh 3 weeks away.

I think Burns has a chronic injury. I think he picked it up toward the end of his first season at HKR. Whatever the case - his pace and speed off the mark is gone.

Did Saints know about it before signing him? I assume so.

Burns might not present the same attacking threat he once did. But there are few tougher competitors currently wearing a Saints shirt. You'd have to kill him to get him off the pitch.

LMS, Turner and Makinson really stood out for me in a positive way.

Burns looked like a passenger today.
I was throwing things at the TV today when Flanaghan kept messing up.
Wilkin in the first half was also making quite a few errors.

But they really dug deep the second half.

I'd say that Warrington were also a bit poor with the dropped ball too.

No a classic for the neutral, but a tough test for both sides.

I am really pleased for all those who are chuffed to bits with the amount of game time Walsh has delivered. Personally I am disappointed.

There; no mention of it being his fault he has been injured.

Just as importantly do you know when Greenwood and Vea might be back as they plus the players above would massively improve the team again ?

Well done to the players today for hanging on for a win. It is important to be able to win when we are far from our best.

We also need the two second rowers back, well at least one to replace Flanagan who adds nothing whatsoever to the attack.

Flanagan has never been big in attack but go back 12 months & he used to put 2 or 3 big hits in a game that really hurt the opposition but even this aspect of his game seems to have deserted him atm.

Re: 19 man Squad v Warrington : Sun May 31, 2015 9:21 pm  

I was ready for sacking Flanaghan at half time.

If Greenwood was not out, I don't think he would be having game time.

I think Greenwood and Vea are due back in August, (assume here I've written in the standard exceptions that people feel the club should state so as not to mis-lead people about player returns).
