I’m glad some of the people on here are not coaching the team.

We improved massively when Clark came on. And the spine of 1, 6, 7 and 9 looked cohesive for the first time in that second half.

And for the Hill haters; only one penalty and no errors.

I am not booking Grand Final tickets just yet, but there were glimpses there of the sort of team we could become that cheered me up significantly. Good running in the forwards, and a bit of shape in the backline. Widdop and Austin beating players with footwork. Well done.

Not pretty but at least the 2nd try gave us some daylight to try some opposed attacking moves & open up the game. Like last week we were solid in defence although Hull were poor. I'm not sure what was wrong with Currie.

Awful game all round, we managed 2 tries in the first hslf against a team that made error after error after error. Couldn't tackle and completely crumbled and that's all we did in the first half. Then we didn't get any better really in the second half, Hull just got worse. Poor show from Hull and a VERY average display from us.
Very happy with a win and if this ups the confidence of Austin and Widdop etc i'd be happy with that.
Toby King was immense and my MOM tonight, Gelling played really well and his cheeky breaking free from the handcuffs try celebration was funny. The whole team worked so hard on everything and was very proud to see it. But we still struggle scoring and finishing plays on opposition line which still needs a hell of a lot of work. If we hadn't played a team that completely self destructed from about 30 seconds in to the game the score line wouldn't have been that high.

Happy with the win but no one should be thinking that it was a good performance by Warrington.

Hull fell apart very quickly and never recovered, if Wigan, Saints or Castleford were to have played that Hull team last night with the same performance from Hull I honestly think it would have been a triple digit score.

There was flashes of some good rugby from Warrington but the team can do so much better, they just need to get there act together and actually play.

Price for me last night, the only time he showed any emotion about anything other than a little smile was the Toby King kick other than that he looked like a kid who had just had there toys taken away and frankly if the club had done to Price what Hull have done to Radford I wouldn't be bothered and actually I think I would be cheering them on.

Overall still not good enough but slowly improving, I still think we will finish the season somewhere between 6th and 10th in the table with no Challenge Cup Final or Grand Final appearance.

Not a great performance but;

A win
Back to back wins
An away win
7 tries scored

Some good individual displays which have been mentioned already but also Sita put in some extra minutes and made yards.

It now remains to be seen whether we get any more games. If the Government do cancel gatherings of more than 500 people it means that we won’t get another game until June when we play Salford at the AJ Bell

Re: Tonight’s game v Hull. : Fri Mar 13, 2020 7:17 am  

I don’t have an issue with the King kick, he displayed a bit of ambition and inventiveness. Didn’t pay off, but a minute later put on a superb offload for Widdop.

The reaction from SP annoyed me a bit, it’s indicative that he doesn’t want us to gamble, even on the best field position possible.

We’re great at getting field position, but rubbish when we get there because we don’t gamble. More of the same please Toby

Re: Tonight’s game v Hull. : Fri Mar 13, 2020 7:54 am  

Probably more moaning than is justified

Agree that Hull were dreadful but we won the game comprehensively. Could we have been better? Of course we could but everyone would have taken the win by a comprehensive score before kickoff.

I think after the Leeds game the team looked short of self belief, and that's a slippery slope for any side. But tonight, certainly by the second half, their body language looked much better - they had a bit more cockiness about them. So for me that was the big take out from the Hull game. Add to that the fact that the defence looked strong and there is something there to build on, which is probably just as well with our attacking edge really poor atm.

Re: Tonight’s game v Hull. : Fri Mar 13, 2020 9:05 am  

The second half was certainly an improvement but it wouldn't have been good enough to beat most SL sides. Nonetheless, some positives :

More offloading, especially from Cooper
Widdop and Austin both taking the line on
Ben Currie looks to be regaining pace and confidence

errm. That's about it.
