They need to get Laithwaite and Currie involved more, both players have great potential but didn't see enough of the ball tonight and Westwood was a bit anonymous apart from the pass around the 10th min when Penny knocks on when he could have scored.
I thought Sims made an impact in defence and Hill made the metres, neither were overly bad IMO. The halves were all over the place for me, the organisation was non exsistant and if Ratchford was a t 6 they might have created more.

Fair play for plugging on and keeping the heat on us, you'll beat plenty of teams if you play 80 mins like you did the last 20.

Having had chance to read through this, if Saints' pack was so dominant, why was it so close.

The game finished five tries to four. We engineered three, with an additional score from a charge-down. Saints engineered three, with a fortuitous last tackle bounce and a spilt ball that sat nicely leading to another try.

Under analysis, it doesn't appear to imply a pack being so dominant, as this usually leads to a lopsided score line.

There was a stat showing that after 70 minutes, Warrington had made less than 900 metres. You ended up with 1200 so literally made a quarter of your metres in the last 10 minutes, the period of the game which Saints will be very disappointed with.

Three tries from dummy half and one from a charge down. As you all know, any tries conceded from dummy half are poor and Saints won't be happy with it.

Still, I'd despair at anyone that watched the game in a balanced fashion who couldn't recognise that Saints absolutely battered Warrington up front. It isn't going too far to suggest that Saints will probably feel that they should have won by 20/30 points. Obviously, the final period made the scoreline look close; to anyone there the game was anything but. Saints fans, players and coaches know it and so do Warrington's.

Anyhow, gone now. We move on to next week.

One point on the dummy half tries. I can't speak for other teams, but Warrington are making a habit of scoring tries against Saints from dummy half in the last few seasons. Why? Because you're defensive line is so good at (ahem) "moving up quickly" that you leave gaping gaps behind the ptb. When we're within touching distance of your line and your defense is, (ahem again) "reluctant" to stand on the line as the rules dictate it generally leads to a try. Just thought I'd mention it.

How things have changed when Cunningham used to go over from dummy half!

Given that Cunningham possessed enormous leg strength and a low centre of gravity which made it incredibly difficult for three men (let alone one) to stop his momentum - I seriously doubt any coach conceding such a try would categorise it as being as serious a defensive blunder as allowing a prop to throw an outrageous dummy and walk under the posts with nary a hand laid on him.
