Never thought I'd say this.... Anyone watching the NRLW, ? Well better than the shat we serve up, solid, hard, fast! Few mistakes, they would give us a game and possibly more..... Entertaining, you hear? Entertaining

The internationals have always been good in ru, the worst part now is that because of bonus points and generally having some idea how to improve the spectacle the club level is wa more entertaining than any superleague rugby match. Superleague is ruined totally by inept officials, the speed of the ruck and niggle. Rugby league as a sport seems ruined to me in this country until we find a way to promote quality entertaining rugby, not boring spoiling tactics.

The Aussie fans compare their reserve comp to SL.....based on this season, I think they're being very generous.

And in a mediocre competition we just bump along as the very definition of mediocrity - fans will vote with their feet and unless Burgess is a miracle worker, it's more of the same next year. I've seen very little to encourage me that things will be any different, especially when they can't even get up for a game like today's.

Powelly Wowelly must be laughing his bloody head off

Chambers lost me in his 1st game, where he left it to the players to come up with the game plan. Nice one coach

The coaching at Warrington is abysmal. That should have been a comfortable two points.

Hmm, I think perhaps you had to be at the game to get a sense of how hot and (importantly) humid it was. The ball was always going to be extremely slippery. We made a few daft errors but I thought we were unlucky not to get a draw at least.

The decision to give a knock-on against Thewlis when he had been held down by Brierley was absolutely shocking.

Commiserations to Salford for having to go that ground every fortnight; absolute booty end of nowhere.

It must be tough for Wire fans driving a full 12 miles down the A57 to get to the match. Heartfelt sympathies to you all.

Absolute brainless performance. Game management as bad as the cup game at Wigan. It really will be embarrassing if we were to make the play-offs and go to a top 4 side.

Re: Today’s game v Salford : Sun Sep 10, 2023 3:09 pm  

What an all my a**e game that was . 2 evenly matched teams on the day both disrespected possession & both equally clueless in attack.

Clutching at straws here but I thought Crowther, for a loan player, again showed immense desire and commitment.

We’ll get hammered by Saints on Friday.

Depends who we have available. Delaney failed a HIA against Leigh, so we'll need to stay clear of disciplinary action in the forwards.

It wasn’t really any different from the home game against Salford, but in that one we got the sin bin decision and cut free.

There were elements of decent rugby, but can’t be getting beat on effort and desperation. Could have got in the 6 today and put some real focus on the play offs. Now we have to find a way to win next week.

Really disappointing, Ratchford giving up 6 points, then Mikaele being so immobile that he couldn’t even make a play at a ball on the floor on our own line just shows how we don’t have that grit of a champion team. And not getting to a kick after the Singleton penalty is absolutely unforgivable. It’s not even about years at that point for Harrison, kicking 40 meters shouldn’t be an issue, it’s just a lapse in concentration.
