Go on, I'll bite

To say he's had a "worldy" is laughable
He's played well. Well done to the fella.
He was given the freedom of the HJ today, by a laxadaisical Wigan side. You could have put Ken Kelly at his current age, and he'd have done the same.

Don't get me wrong, I'm made up he's finally had a good game in Wire colours to justify himself, but I want to see him do it next week, and the week after, and the week after, etc, rather than blowing smoke up his proverbial after one good one.

More of the today's, please.

He was decent today playing behind a dominant pack against a poor Wigan team... a better half back and we get to 40 in the second half.

Still not seen anything to justify signing him.

Christ here we go, not an exceptional Wires team but a [ipoor[/i Wigan team. Take a leaf out of Mr Wane's book and reflect that the better team won becausr they were superior in every facet. Just that. Full stop. End of.

Don’t get me wrong I’m made up we’re into the semi’s after a dominant display but anyone who didn’t see probably one of the worst lacklustre Wigan performances in years must be blinkered and any decent championship side would have run them close today.

Yes we were superior in every facet, largely because Wigan were just awful throughout... both in defence and in attack.

And no it wasn't an exceptional Wire performance.

If you were a Wigan fan you could have said the reverse of that 2 weeks ago. If one team is on song, the other team will inevitably look poor.

Oh come on. Even all the negs and moaners who love to give stick to our players ought to be pretty happy tonight. 23-0 v Wigan in the Cup. We really have collected some negative dib-dobs on this forum.

Correct, Wigan were poor however there is little credit being given to Warrington not surprisingly on their forum but on here it's disappointing. If we can't enjoy that today, give the team a well deserved bit of credit and take a bit of pride in an all round performance then we might as well pack in.

Roberts decent today in attack and defence

Really happy with today, especially after our 1st half performance which was the best under Price.
While Wigan didn't play well, credit must go to the players for this who constantly 'turned the screw' in that first half, meaning they were unable to gain a foothold and resorted to panic catch-up rugby in the second half.

A few points:
-forwards excellent.
-Robert's best game and he's starting to show some running potential.
-fluidity in attack still requires improvement but that's to be expected; we're better than I expected at this stage under Price.

Not discounting Leeds or Catalans, but I'd love see the draw present the potential for a Wire v saints final.

....I think I'd want Saints while we're on cloud 9. Saints at Wembley sounds daunting.
Wouldn't want Catalans at Bolton tbh.
Leeds looks the easy pick presently

Roberts controlled the game with a very good display...especially his kicking game.

Saints are by far the best team in the comp this season. I would like to get them in the semis to hopefully get them out of the way. I wouldn't like to have them at Wembley.

Out of the big three, in our recent finals we've played Leeds x3 and Wigan x2 but not met saints once; it would potentially be a great final. That said, Saints do look to be the stand out team and despite our good win today, I think they would be firm favourites if we were to hypothetically meet them next week.

I wouldn't say Saints would be'firm favourites'! Marginally perhaps.

It's a whole 2 months away anything could happen especially with injuries. Barba is the player making them the stand out team and if he was to be out for any reason then can't see why we couldn't win. Harder with him in the team but not impossible

Get with the programme people. We only won yesterday because Wigan were the worst team in the world to play rugby league since Bath in the cross code challenge.

After fifty years supporting the Wire I'm no wide-eyed optimist but, Captain, you need to get real. Wire simply did not let Wigan play yesterday and when we had the ball our rate of offloads meant that we turned many sets of six into sets of seven or eight. By half-time Wigan had made almost twice as many tackles as Wire. We'd knackered them. Credit is still due to Wigan that their instinctive defence kept us down to just seven points in the second half.

Think his tongue was firmly in cheek!

Class performance from him yesterday

I love this place.

We just nilled Wigan for the first time in God knows how long and knocked them out of the cup two weeks after they mullered us, yet people are still able to have a moan?!

There is absolutely no way I want to play Warrington in the final. I would rather lose in the semi. We may be top but Warrington are on fire!!!

The grand final defeats to Wigan hurt much more than loss to Leeds, but, losing in a final against saints after that hoodoo would be the worst ever. Only beating you in a final for a trophy would make up for those last minute defeats a bit, but it would be a horrible day unless we won. To be fair it would be a rotten day for one set of fans and made worse by it being absolutely glorious for the other set no matter which side of the fence you're on. It would be great for the neutrals, still it's not happening yet, I reckon we'll get you at Bolton if you beat Hull.

I think our form in finals against Saints is good.

Sorry Asgardian, thought it was obvious that I wasn’t serious just highlighting what opposition fans (Wigan and Saints predominantly) were saying.

Agree with this; in which case a potential game against saints in the final would be a bit like a game of double or quits on roulette. I would be happy to take the gamble!
