I think one thing we overlook with players sometimes is how they need games and time to get in to a rhythm. He's not had a great start Walters but so far he's played in fits and starts, with the odd sub appearance here and there and just a couple of starts. He even had to go in at centre on Friday, so it's not been perfect circumstances to help him get going. I'd actually start him on Thursday and put Nsemba on the bench and give him a little run now to try and get going. I think Nsemba needs a freshen up anyway and we can use him to impact games against tiring defences.

Thats fair comment, it would be nice to see Nsemba running out wide and creating havoc for the opposition.
He has been used as a battering ram more the last few games and putting in a decent number of tackles.

You look at the sheer size of Nsemba and it makes you forget that he's a baby in rugby league terms. He looks a little jaded to me and as you say, we're not really get him them opportunities to cause problems a little wider. I think it's just a case of freshening his mind up as much as anything.

Nice of George Williams to put in a performance that bad tonight, Harry Smith can be chuffed with his nights work last night!

Satisfying after seeing all the nonsense this week about Warrington’s rebirth as the British version of the Aussie Invincibles.

Not convinced that was the best result for us. There's one fixture I think we want to avoid in the playoffs and thats Hull KR away.

Was that No 42 for Warrington the richer, but far less talented twin brother of the John Bateman who used to play for us?

We wont be away to Hull KR in the playoffs - we'd have to finish 4th for that to happen or Warrington would have to finish top. And that wont be happening.

Going off the Sky coverage last night, it's a 2 horse race for the LLS and we aren't involved. Pretty nice of them to take off any expectation and the players can just go about their business being the 3rd best side in the league. Maybe the plucky underdog (who weirdly hold all 4 trophies there is to win) can surprise a few people as the season goes on.
