Quote ="Saddened!"Impressive start from the Wire. You looked very sharp and your pack was excellent, which it's not been during Super League at least. Vaughn looks a special player and I think he'll thoroughly enjoy Super League, it suits him down to the ground. He was good in the NRL, but with the generally smaller packs in Super League he'll thrive. Drinkwater and Williams look as good a partnership as you've had in the halves as well. Good times ahead, certainly in with a shout this year on that evidence. I'll caveat that a little until you play someone half decent as that Leeds lineup and performance was amongst the worst I've seen in Super League. They have recruited horrifically this season again, whoever is in charge of that at Leeds is doing a terrible job. They simply don't have a pack, even if you throw Oledzski and Bentley in, it's not going to lift things much. Myler is awful, years beyond his best and nowhere near Super League level, embarssing from him tonight. How they've not dealt with Tetavano and Fusitua yet either is beyond me, neither have any interest in being there.
But Wire's recruitment and battalion of new signings were not the most impressive thing about you tonight. I thought you'd recruited well and expected an improvement over last season. But I wasn't expecting the level of fitness and conditioning that was evident tonight. That was the most impressive thing about that display. You looked like a team battle hardened and hitting play off speed. You didn't do all that much in terms of elaborate rugby first half, you were just so much sharper and intense than Leeds and they couldn't cope. I suspect Wigan will be bricking it, they'd expected to take over from Saints this year, but your pack will liklely obliterate theirs. Throwing all their eggs in the Field and French basket rather than signing two big props looks a big mistake.
Hopefully Huddersfield are equally impressive and we could end up with a proper multi-team battle at the top of the table this year.'"
Agreed with all this. But i was impressed with Warringtons line speed when defending, Saints and Wigan do it the best.
Looking good Warrington, hope you and Paul V can keep it up
