Care to point out where? I thought we were unlucky to lose a close game, alot of decisions went against us but they even themselves put over the season. 48 mins on the clock was when we first heard a real HKR chant...(notably the first time you took the lead).

Which first half though because we were singing from the first half of the Hull v Cas game if not before! Just our first half was a bit of a quietner!

On the whole your fans were great, some right you know what's though making threatening gestures when we scored our first.

Who asked your opinion - we dont need advice from a team on a losing streak

Most ironic post EVER

Seriously, whod have thought a wire fan would ever be able to say that to a saints fan. I LOVE it!

Oh please don't, my sides are hurting, how desparate are you, must you critisize and try to belittle another club because they beat you?, against bradford you were counting the days to the grand final, sorry to disappoint, but we 'IMO' didn't play well at all, didn't have to, not against a bunch of under achieving prima donna's.

did you read my post out loud to yourself and all the words came out different to the ones i typed..............

I think the phrase i used was "an ordinary side by anyone's standards"

Without Briers we are usually rudderless but we played well and with a little more luck/bounce of the ball, we could have won.

We missed the forwards for the yardage, the defence & the spell periods. We compensated by having our props on the field for longer than we would have liked on a sapping pitch. We also compensated by having the back row take more ball in.

When they were knackered we let in soft tries & gave away soft penalties.

When things were poop, all we asked for was to play to their best & show some pride. They did that so I'm happy enough.

Also dont forget Rovers were missing Chev Walker, Stanley Gene, Nick Fozzard, Rhys Lovegrove and Ben Cockayne so we too were missing 5 regular first teamers.

I'm not Having Chev Walker as a Regular player .....never in the memory of Man

Or Cockayne, awful player. Just finished watching the re-run and Silverwood was worse than I thought, should have 2 pens for holding down after Vinnies try, the man is a useless tool, the RFL should have sacked him altogether, not saying we would have won the game but he was very harsh and I rarely if ever blame refs.

In my opinion it was our try line defence which cost us in the end as some of the attempts to stop Hull KR players was poor to say the least, some of our players thought it was tick`n`pass on our try line with the amount of effort that went in. Its like an old problem has raised its ugly head again, we scored enough points to win the game but to concede 36 points at any level questions have to be asked, i thought the defence from both sides was fairly poor at times which reflected in how many points were scored in the game.

Think the shot on Dobson after the kick was a late by anderson, and for 90% of the game, warrington had hands in at the play the ball.

But it was a close game, dont think the ref dictated the way it went, could have gone either way

Thought overall Rovers were very much the better team.
However Warrington did have quite a few chances to go ahead etc and but for some embarrassing refereeing the score could have easily been reversed in your favour. The refereeing for the whole weekend seem staggering in terms of how pathetic it was really anyway.
