This thread is very much a 'love in', and fair play. The team deserves it.
But as I said elsewhere I can see lots to work on.
I thought the pre match analysis of Dufty was spot on, and he had an 'ok' game without being up with the best.
Leeds 1st try was a great piece of skill by kicker and reciever. Can't really fault Ratch and Matties timing was just a split second off.
Wrench - mmm - good and bad.
I do think the ref got most of the decisions correct but most of the 50/50s and bounces of the ball seemed to go our way.
I'm not decrying the overall Wire performance though.
It was very good.

I agree that Dufty did only have an ‘ok’ game but now his ok games are 130m with a try and 2 assists.

The top 5 fullback analysis was fun, reminded me of the snide Clarke comments.

I'm also thinking of the responses some on here would have been if it was Dufty that mistimed the jump. Cue one poor decision that costs us a try a match comments

Most on the top 5 fullback list I'd agree with but Millers had one good game this year, not sure he's top five, I do think he'll get better in the drier pitches and will get more opportunities against the poorer teams, for me it's a top three and based on this year's form in that order.

Dufty
Welsby
Field

Miller looks busy, that's why sky are hyping him, but he's not much cop. Especially since Leeds aren't able to to keep all their 6 7 and 13 in place for creativity

Could have had another assist if he released the ball instead of turning back inside.

I thought he could have done better for the Roberts try. And I wasn't best pleased that he was trying to con that penalty, then start a fight, and stood around when Handley shot upfield, he was stood under their sticks.

Not sure whether he's an eccentric prima donna or has mental health / social issues, but it sounds like Burgess respects him as a good player, just maybe not as a typical 'Burgess-last-man-standing' type player. The team comes first and if that means we persevere with Wrench and Ratchford (Lindop?) then so be it. Ive got faith in Burgess to get the best out of what we've got. Shame, as I thought he'd turned a corner with his year away in a different environment.

That’s very disappointing from King not to say unprofessional. We are paying him a top wage and you can’t have one player not showing commitment and supporting the team ethic. If he is not happy a player exchange deal might be the best solution. Do Catalans need centres….McMeekan anyone.

If she is playing up again she can go on loan to Barrow. We don't need players not committed to the cause. Wouldn't make my top 10 Warrington centres anyway.
