Who was the Wire number 7 ? Somebody said it was Gareth Widdop, played like a championship half back whoever it was.

TRB commented at the end of the game that we had just beaten a virtually full strength Warrington side and I then pointed out that they were only missing Chris Hill at which Belly said "And Widdop". I pointed out to him that Widdop had played and Belly replied that he hadn't seen him

Such a radical improvement from the Hull KR game. Thought Jowitt was class, especially in first half.

Hope the players that came in today keep their places for next week With Walker, Green and Dave back for Cas.

I’ve come away pleased with Jowitt, Walker shouldn’t be played if Jowitt is fit.

The man to man marking/sliding defence was excellent they've obviously been putting the work in off the field. How good was to see TJ in full flight have I missed that.

I don't know what more max could do week on week out to get a regular spot. Never let's the side down.

Tackling was superb today. I feared we did a lot of it in the first half, and that it might catch up with us in the second half, but we kept at them for 80 minutes.

I thought the same and there was a period in the 2nd half it looked like that was the case but the lads rallied and put on a right shift. Love the wins based on pretty Rugby but theres something special about winning a game through sheer determination to win the collisions and put the big hits in.

The games where you least expect victory are better than any "run of the mill win" and boy oh boy, this was so unexpected.
Although our offence is still a bit scratchy, our defence, to a man was magnificent, absolutely magnificent.

To restrict a star studded Wire side to just one try was a superb effort.

The two centre/wing partnerships seemed to work much, much better than the KR game and the forwards offered some real threat, special mention for Ashurst, who, for me, was the best forward on the pitch.

It's certainly give the coaching staff a few headaches when others return from fitness and TBF, I'm not sure that anyone should be replaced for next week, unless there are any new injury concerns.

We should stick with the 17 that out played one of the favourites for the title - MAGNIFICENT

Did anyone on here seriously see that coming?
An outstanding performance from 1-17.
The lads I stand with - we all picked a different MOTM - which shows the application they all put in.
I've not seen a performance like that for a long time.....
Made the (its always our year) Wire look very ordinary.
Same team v Cas.....
Cant wait for Friday!!!
Up the Trin!

Excellent win today. I expected a big scoreline against us after the HKR game. Thought our defence was excellent today. Some of Warringtons tactics were dubious. Don't get the appealing for a penalty at most tackles. Their physio spent most of the game in their defensive line, I expected him to start tackling our players at one point.
