I thought we started to wobble when Austin came on, he looked like he was on a mission and not a mission to win the game.

At least we closed the game out with 12 men and got the last try, at one point I thought the SKY team was going to demand a recount.

Phil Clark thought that Castleford were the better team in the first half and that we were fortunate to be 28 -0 up.

The red card was ridiculously soft to say the least, the fact that Watts stayed down along with Hill made it impossible to not give some form of punishment. The endless slow mo replays on sky made it look even worse, Liam Moore was about to play on, if they hadn’t of have it shown several different times from various angles.

Play that as a normal Sunday afternoon game with no Sky cameras present Cooper stays on the field.

I think you may find that the Chairman of the Disciplinary Panel is Cooper’s Uncle!!!!!

Charnley wasn't the one out of contract. So it wasn't a straight choice.

Lineham was let go because of disciplinary issues and he was out of contract.

Price could have played Lineham tonight but he didn't. Powell could have insisted Lineham got a new contract, he didn't. They don't trust him, rightfully so.

In the last couple of years, Lineham has undoubtedly been better when he's on the pitch. But that's not been anywhere near often enough.

A little ironic saying that on a day Charnley got a yellow, but still . . .

Well saints get favouritism for sure. Makinson obvious squirrel grip gets fewer games than Lineham for alleged squirrel grip (I have no doubt that he did it but it wasn't caught on the sky cameras like Tommy's).

Cooper shouldn't get more games out than paasi, as it was a far, far lesser incident, but he probably will.

First 45 minutes we were very clinical, next 20 minutes all over the place, final 15 minutes our game management was very good.

Hope Cooper just gets a 1 game ban, but doubt it. High tackle on Ashton in 2nd half deserved a card, as Lineham got carded and then banned for a similar one against Saints.

I listened to it on BBC Radio Manchester, Dave Woods and Noble were raving about good Warrington were and how we were good for the the 26-0 lead. Praising our attack and defence. They were saying how poor the execution of Castleford was in the first half and also they let the emotion especially of a big guard of honour get to them. Which seems a fair analysis of the first half. I cant believe Clarke has said that if he did as i didnt hear it on Sky.
