You can't win games without halfback, so no Horne and Long going off after 20 mins certainly was blow, and against a team like Warrington, was never going to be enough.

Sounded like lots of effort put in today. Came up against a pretty much full strength Warrington side without our 2 wingers, our 2 half backs, 2/3 of our second row, our best player from the opening rounds and had only half of our interchange bench in use... 2 days after a Derby. Fantastic effort.

Well, according to Humberside, Long went off with suspected broken foot

why do people always use longs absense as an excuse? we were lucky to win last friday even with him and i think we have overacheived this season so far. i think mid table is the best we can wish for

if you don't think missing Long for 3/4 of the game didn't have a detrimental affect today as well as missing Horne, then you really don't know how a rugby team works.

I don't think a win was ever on the cards today with the lineup we had.

Neither do I. We did very well first half to be 10-10, and in the end the scoreline probably flattered Warrington imo. Not having Long and Horne on the pitch was evident when we couldn't score when he had 3 set of 6 on their line.

so we ARE a one man team then?

Any team missing their first choice half backs will struggle for creativity, especially on the opposing teams goal line
