Yes, but not against a SL side. That was vs Fax in the Cup...

Home Attendances:

Harlequins RL - 7049
Salford City Reds - 7052
Huddersfield Giants - 6572
Bradford Bulls - 9185
Wakefield Wildcats -10155
St Helens - 8003
Halifax - 5595
Leeds Rhinos - 8082

O/all average to date: 7712
SL only: 8014

I was referring to Warrington!

Aha – I was wondering why avge attendance to date was being quoted here as 7,712 and in a thread on the VT as 8,014. The second is avge SL attendance, excluding the home cup tie.

Aye - added for clarification.

In the league our lowest gate has been 6572 against huddersfield, our super league average is 8014. The biggest gate was wakey, then bradford, leeds have been below par two years on the trot.

Ah yes, I got Wakey and Bradford mixed up then.

Not there? No Sky? Boy are you unlucky...

Still, updates [url=http://www.ayberspace.co.uk/ayberspace/php-files/readarticle.php?article_id=261HERE[/url

Why does our defence seem to fall apart as soon as we're under a bit of pressure? Shame that last score was scrubbed off, it'd have been a real boost going into the 2nd half.

Sorry you lost.

Your guys seemed a bit mentally shot tonight? Making a few crazy decisions, not quite as on the ball as they usually are? It's a shame because I'm not entirely sure Wire deserved that win. There were three wrong decisions by the ref, which were all in Wire's favour, one of which caused a try. I'm not a Cas fan (except by proxy when you aren't playing us!) and I was shouting at the ref!

I hope your guys manage to get themselves back together again soon as they play great rugby when they've a mind to and deserve more wins. So long as they wait until after Friday to do it though, please!

We didn't help ourselves at times, but Cas were utterly caned for 20 minutes at the start of the second half (by that fantastic referee Ben Thaler) and that's when the game was effectively won. Draw your own conclusions.

My conclusions are as follows:

Warrington have a pack.

Cas have Sargent and.. well, that's it.

And the team with a pack will always win.

Yep, there's that..

I'd characterise the game more as Cas had flair while Wire had grunt. In the first half the difference was that their tries were up the middle - as a result they converted the easier extras and that was the only difference.

As I say, Cas didn't help themselves at times but I maintain they were utterly caned at the start of the second. The count went from 4-4 to 8-4 in Wire's favour within 8 minutes and (whether you agree they were fair or not) that pretty much guaranteed Wire would extend the half time lead. They did, twice, and that was the game right there.

5,628 it was

Aye - an appalling figure for Cas. Hopefully that puts paid to any thought of regular Saturday evening games darn t'Lane.

and you go on about the wakey support

That's a good crowd for your lot!

Briers didn't take any kicks at goal! An interesting view of events, if a little biased

I think the threat of bad weather and with it been on Sky will have hit the attendance. Though I would have hoped for more from Warrington, can't have been more than 200 there.

I made the mistake of believing Sky - Eddie called Bridge Briers at least twice, and when you're frantically typing away it's not easy to check.



Corrected now, anyway.

what a load of cack what game were you watching...3 wrong decisions my backside...the vr must be bent then

I thought that was to low a number too.

Mistake 1. When Netherton was subbed Chase moved to hooker & the shuffle around of personnel as a consequence cost us a try.

Mistake 2. Matterson using Chase in two key roles. The jobs hard enough as it is without taking away our Scrum Half (stand in) & having no back up therefore no control in the centre of the park.

Mistake 3. I know he's a fans favorite etc. (not in this house) but the day that McGoldrick is back on the boat to Oz can't come too soon for me. He's a liability, must give 2 interception per match, letting the ball bounce, not securing the ball in hand (again must be at least twice per game where he looses it in the tackle), lack of self discipline, I know he's captain at the mo so can ask the ref questions but he goes too far & got 10 minutes for it (Thaler was sh*te but that's no excuse).

just accept the better team won.....

Are you honestly telling me that you didnt see alot of mistakes in wires favour? at least one try was a forward pass that was missed and some of the calls that went wires way were ridiculous, a warrington player puts his hand up to palm down a kick it goes 10 yards forwards and its not a knock on?

I've never heard you say anything but good about mcgoldrick
