Warrington

Stefan Ratchford, Tom Lineham, Ryan Atkins, Toby King, Josh Charnley, Blake Austin, Declan Patton, Chris Hill, Daryl Clark, Lama Tasi, Ben Currie, Harvey Livett, Joe Philbin

Subs: Ben Murdoch-Masila, Jason Clark, Matt Davis, Danny Walker

People have been harsh on Tasi but I've reserved judgement so far due to the limited game time he's been given by Pricey. He's got a starting spot now though so it's the perfect chance to show what he offers. I wish him all the best, he's got all the hallmarks of a useful bench prop and I hope he can prove a few people wrong.

West stand looks brilliant. What a great initiative.

Good result again, London a last pass away from being a very competitive side. I like the way they play, tough on them tonight.

Agreed, they need to follow up on that success now. Get Wolfie into schools etc.


I thought London moved the ball really well tonight and just didn’t know how to finish it. They probably deserved a better scoreline than they got.

Comfortable win.hope there's no injury problems for next week

Who were the stand out players? Who got man of match? How did Davies and walker play? Was Austin taken off to be rested with next in mind or injured? Thanks

Eye on next week with Austin.
Stand out. I'd say Ratchford was very prominent. His kicking was a miss on the wrong side.
Don't know about mom
Walker was quick at dummy half.
Clark went off then returned in some kind of back pack position.

Davis impressed. Good ball handler as well as his carries.
I'd also say the 2 wingers worthy of praise. All of their tries needed scoring, no easy walk-ins.
MOM was Austin.

Have we ever had a better trio of wingers than we currently have? Mamo is definitely third choice for me but he is keeping the others honest and is better than at least one of our starting wingers from recent seasons. Austin was Mom according to stadium announcers, glad he and Clark got a bit of a rest. There is a drop when walker comes on for Clark but it's unfair to judge walker on that, Clark is sheer class and has an awful lot of game time. Walker needs more minutes really.

Did what we had to do, and after a ponderous start, we did it well.
I thought the ref was going for the record of [ifastest pea blowing out of whistle, award[/i. 8 pens in the opening 15 mins. We don't come to watch you, sunshine. He policed the ruck, appallingly.
Superb performances by both wingers
Tasi took the ball in well
The two little uns looked sharp in broken play
Austin oozes class
Even with a couple of difficult kicks, our 2 point kicking issues appear to be well and truly over.
Good crowd turnout, with the incentive.
I do wish BMM would play more minutes. Those big units at Wakefield play loads more.

London move the ball, beautifully. Crisp, accurate passing. Very easy on the eye. Just a pity for them, they've got very little idea, how to unlock a defence. They'll do OK.

Onward to Stains

I thought Morgan Smith played well in his preferred position of scrum half. I'm also worried that Patton may pick up a ban for the high tackle in the first half. How bad did it look to those closest?

I wasn’t too far away, thought he was going off as soon as it happened and thought he was really lucky that the ref didn’t get a card out.

If he’s banned, it gives us a chance to see how we look without a first choice half. But who goes in instead?

Mamo to full back and Ratch into the 6 or 7 position is one possibility.

Leave Ratchford where he is. Livett or Currie to 6 or 7. Mamo may not be fit anyway.
Yesterday Charnley went to fullback & Ratchford to the wing later on in the game.

West stand looked great, I know you can’t do that sort of thing too much in a season, but seen lots of people on Facebook stating how it was their kids first game and would be coming back. Wonder what they do for the Cats game? Shame it’s on a Thursday night, could have played on a Saturday or Sunday and marketed it as a ‘family day’ try and entice some of them back.

Good performance against London and pleasing to see players get some game time - still no Sita though...

Impressed with what Price is doing rotating the team once the games are put to bed. Charnley was moved to full back tonight and Ratch to wing. Livett played plenty at 6 so when injuries hit at least the players have had game time in other positions.

All positive right now.

Two points, no injuries, key players rested. You can't really grumble can you ?

I thought Lama Tasi had a good game, perhaps Price is starting to get his real potential from him at last. Outstanding chase back by Currie to save a certain try - the whole of that play was first class from both London and Wire.

A very entertaining game i thought from both sides & ,considering the final score, it was surprising how much time London spent attacking our line but our excellent defence kept them from scoring. Probably a good thing we didn't rest any more players.
As for the west stand , they were the fans of the future & every penny coming through the turnstiles is good for business , plus kids are always wanting pop & crisps.

I can't argue with any of the posts on here and we have a few eye catching performers but would add that I am really enjoying watching Jason Clark play. Also and maybe it's easier when you're winning but Price seems to have turned the group into his team and they really appear to be a team, rather than a group of individuals

Great stuff from us and credit to London

I thought he had a shout at being MOM last night.

Great performance, London better than the score suggests. Excellent promotion in the West, giving a good crowd. Happy days, so far.

I’m generally of the mind to leave Ratch where he is as that’s where he plays best. But maybe we should be looking at getting players used to being out of position and still putting in a performance.

I think Tasi and J Clarke both took a step forwards this week.

If we need an auxiliary half, then Currie for me. Livett still doesn't seem to be firing on all four cylinders, yet.

I’ve been banging on about Jace Clark to all that will listen. Really, really impressed with his work ethic. Does everything required and more without always getting the recognition.

You don't need bang a drum at me.
First 2 forwards on my team sheet is Jason Clark and Hughes.
