Wells couldn’t wait to spout the rules regarding the first no try and still the Sky muppets disagreed and said it was a try.

I think there was a bit of fatigue from the Wigan game but our forwards switched off too. Not the first time we've relaxed when ahead. Still credit to Wakey. I predicted them to be in the top 5.

Some things I learnt tonight:

We lack a killer instinct
We sleepwalk through parts of every match
We seem frightened to tackle half backs
We give away too many penalties
Thaler is a terrible ref
No-one understands the obstruction rule
Miller is a grub
Tasi does nothing
Wakefield are nobody's fool

.....and courtesy of the sky Muppets....

Warrington don't have a big enough points difference to go top (several times)
Brough is 36 but still has a quick brain (many times)
Wakefield have injury problems (every 10 mins)
Pauli Pauli & Fifita are big men (every time they touch the ball)
Roby is top of the Man of Steel table (whenever Eddie's spirits needed a lift)
This could be our year (thanks again Phil Clarke)

I can’t believe our discipline is that different to everyone else. We were getting pinged for every infringement in the second half, BMM is clearly impeded playing the ball, yet Wakey get the pen. You can say he’s moving forward, but he’s trying to find space to play the ball.

Shocking performance by Thaler, fair play to Wakey for pulling it back.

I thought Price was extremely careful with his summing up, and gave me the impression he was seething about our final 20 minutes and Thaler's contribution to our loss of control.

One thing he has never been afraid of is dropping players who haven't performed. But on reflection, who would you drop? We had one perfectly good try ruled out, bombed at least one another (Mamo) and were a blade of grass away from getting another. On another day we'd have hit 50 and Wakeys combaxk would have fizzled out before it began.

Leasons to be learnt undoubtedly, but I'm still struggling to identify one player, or one offence we were consistently guilt of and penalised for.

Saints only beat Wakey by 1 try when they played last month. Always a tough place to go I'm happy to get the 2 points.

Wakey didn’t have 7 players missing and a whole left edge when we played them.

Thalers performance was outrageous, almost as outrageous as Jacob Millers holding down and general messing about at the play the ball, and nearly as outrageous as Danny Brough's comment that Warrington are renowned for holding down...

But that mickey poor refereeing display pales way into insignificance to that poop house of a spiteful wig wearing mickey pot commentator.

could he sound any more bored and thoroughly brassed off at anything good that Warrington do???

Blake Austins great break, charnleys wonderful finish and Ratchford's (as it turned out) match winning touchline conversion for example
his tone was down-beat he didn't sound remotely impressed or excited but when Wakefield make a run from dummy half he's well up for it.

It may not be this year or the next but it fills me with great pleasure that he wont be the voice that eventually calls Warrington champions.

an absolute cretin of a man and the worst commentator in Rugby league by some distance.....and that bar hasn't been set very high....

What was wrong with Atkins tackle at the end, he grabs a bloke by the collar throws him to the ground and the bloke loses the ball as his arm hits the ground?
I assumed it was holding down. but Atkins from the moment he pulled the bloke to the floor to letting go could not have been holding him for longer than 1 second.

I was gobsmacked by it, even though it was about 2 minutes to go and id been treated to 78 minutes of Weird and wonderful calls from Thaler....

As I saw it. They were toast but we didn't control the momentum. Another lapse like that vs Saints would see heartbreak. We need to be smart. We'll take more from that game than any. Not blaming the ref, tbh he was pretty consistent unlike our game management.

I haven’t posted on here for many a while but seriously why is that absolute whopper ASS108 allowed to pollute these threads? Pathetic.
