Refs whistle had a fantastic workout second half. He’s put it in a superb position going in to the season.

Re: Warrington pre season : Sat Jan 29, 2022 7:29 pm  

14 vs 12 and Warrington still couldn't score.

Re: Warrington pre season : Sat Jan 29, 2022 7:32 pm  

Whilst you need to convert your chances - Field bombed a sitter, Singleton knocked on over the line & we got held up twice too. On another night they could have been another couple in the bag.

It was a very comfortable night Vs a strong Wire side.

Very pleasing, and signs looked good in the first half with somewhere near a full-strength side. Some disruption in the second half, with a lot of kids getting a run out, but still restricted a team full of internationals to one try. That offload from Mago was just lovely, he will be a real force in SL this year I am sure. Nobody had a poor game, even Sam Powell looked back to the better form of a couple of years ago.

Compare that with last year’s pre season friendly at Salford . It’s night and day !
Very encouraging signs all round

Re: Warrington pre season : Sat Jan 29, 2022 7:48 pm  

The team for HKR will be interesting now. If Hardaker is fit then I guess it’ll be 2 from him, Bibby and KPP for the centre spots. The pack will be the same as tonight, so it’ll just be the bench to work out. We know Mago will take a spot, so that leaves three others to pick. I think I’d go with Byrne, Smithies and O’Neill but it could just as easily be three others.

Re: Warrington pre season : Sat Jan 29, 2022 8:10 pm  

Just got back, very encouraging signs indeed. Very bittersweet afternoon, fantastic to get the result but saddened to discover the need for a minutes silence due to the passing of Des Drummond. Incredible player (especially at Leigh) who had a tremendous rivalry with Henderson Gill back in the early 80's. RIP.

Re: Warrington pre season : Sat Jan 29, 2022 8:14 pm  

Really impressed with Mago again, KPP is a handful at centre too, Field showing good signs and is everywhere in attack. Thornley ran his weight today too.

With our starting 4 props being Mago, Singleton, Ellis and 1 of Byrne/Havard/Ollie P its nice to finally have a set of decent props. Massively impressed with Mago.
