Warrington were missing Hill and Widdop two pretty big chunks of the cap in the stand right there.

Aye, they are big players for Wire. Would still rather be missing those two than our six though (plus Percy to injury in the game).

It was a weaker team than the one that lost narrowly at London last season (which Coote/Makinson/Walmsley also missed but at least we had Knowles/Amor/Roby in that side).

More concerned about players being fit next week to get minutes before roosters than the result last night to be fair.

They did. It's arguable that they are better without Hill, he's been a liability for them since he was made captain.

Joe Philbin stepped up to negate the loss of Hill, he must have done nearly 60 minutes.

His opening shift of taking the ball up was excellent.

Wasn't a big fan of his prior to the GB tour but he was probably our best prop on the tour.

I wonder (hope) if he becomes English again at the end of the season.

Very good from Warrington last night but probably expected given the team Saints had out. Promising start to the season nevertheless but I would have expected them to put a lot more points on given how dominant they were and how bad Saints were.
