| Huddersfield deserve a lot of credit being down on players through injury and playing the last 20 minutes with no subs, and arguably deserved the win (thinking in terms of the BMM yellow that should have been red). He'll cop a ban I think.
Good performance by Mamo.
Lìneham and Charnley did well bringing the ball out.
I don't think any of our players played badly but no-one stood out.
A good team would have really capitalized on Huddersfields predicament.

I thought it was contact with the head to be honest.
In mitigation the attacker was already going down and this is possibly the reason it wasn't red.
I suspect Mr. Numan would not agree

| Not a great game at all, if they didn't lose Matty English and Ukuma Ta'ai we wouldn't have won that.
I thought Hughes played well at 13 and i think he's suited to it. Forward pack was solid and Lineham and Currie played well. Widdop doesn't seem to do much at all from what i've seen, but he scored a great try and he had a few flashes of brilliant plays so i'm hoping he keeps improving.
I really like Akauola but i think he literally played 15 maybe 20 minutes today in total. For me give Sammy Kibula or Latu a go , they can't be any worse......well i hope.
Loved prices reaction and response at the end, clearly thought it was a crap game aswell.

| Any honest Warrington fan would admit you were very very lucky in that game.
1. Direct contact to the head leaving a player unable to finish the game is 100% a red card. Giants down to 16 players.
2. Austin cheating Thaler to prevent a try to then get straight up and carry on. Very poor from Austin.
3. Warrington 2nd try was miles forward.
You lot won’t make the top 4 for me .....unless your games are reffed by Ben Thaler week in week out.

| Watched most of the second half live last night and just seen the first....is it just me or were Hudds much better at running angles, offloading and generally stretching our defence, changing the direction of play and keeping us guessing? Our 5 drives and a kick really looked woefully predictable by comparison, and Hudds with a full bench - or any team with a half-decent squad and a modicum of pre-match video analysis - should surely be able to completely shut down anything we throw at them. Question is: who in the squad does that, apart from Daz and Ratch in space from our own half? Ashton had moments of it way back in Feb/March, but I'm pushed to find many others in our current line-up who either can or haven't had it coached out of them....

| Disturbing how many neck injuries Huddersfield players picked up , & i think the result would have been a lot different if Hudds hadn't lost their full rotation. You would think also that so called top class players would be able to play by avoiding yellow/red card offences. At least our forwards were making big in roads into the Huddersfield defence & we have two up & coming props in Charnley & Lineham.
Still a win is a win & what matters is how many we beat Leeds ,Saints & Wigan by.

Most sensible Wire fans will agree with you on both of those points.
If these sort of boring, turgid displays continue for Wire, then it's obvious we have to let Price see out this truncated season, while, behind the scenes, the board are making serious efforts to fetch in a coach who can actually get the squad to play an a watchable brand of RL.
The obvious shout is Watson from Salford, followed by maybe a bit of NZ style flair that Stephen Kearney could provide.

| How many times do we have to hear ....."our attack was a bit clunky tonight" ... before the powers that be realise that Price is clueless. We have arguably the best attacking spine in SL and is being wasted. and the rest of the squad is pretty decent as well. . In the next couple of years we may lose Hill, Coops, Ratch, Austin, Widdop, Charnley, and possibly others. For goodness sake 5 drives and a "kick and hope" is hopeless.
Where are the ..... "right then, we are in the opposition 10 what do we do?. Is it code word 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,or 10 training moves ? . Price has had what 18m to come up with ONE training ground attacking move and I have yet to see it. Every other team seems to be more creative with the ball than us. Why ?.

| In a season like this there will be disruptions and loss of players due to covid unavailability / lack of match fitness catching up with them so I'm less bothered about what it looks like, it's more about hanging in there and picking up wins.
The harsh truth which was apparent even before the season is, despite the overblown bluff that KF puts out and some fans fall for, we are not a well balanced squad that looks like a SL winning squad. There are too many positions where we have question marks and too many players who are biggish names, and who fans think are better than their performances justify.
But last year these problems were here too and we scrapped our way over the line in the Challenge Cup and beat Saints at Wembley. My main hope for us is that we can scrap enough wins to make it to the playoffs and then this year, given all the random luck that will affect this season, it is more likely to be true that "once you get to the playoffs, anything can happen", whereas usually its "once you get to the playoffs, only one of Leeds, Saints or Wigan will be left standing at the end."

| The problem Price has, is that his style of RL leaves absolutely no room for any excuses or sympathy for him if we end up trophyless.
If he does manage a trophy then fans will grit their teeth and accept the awful rugby as being a necessary evil. However, if he doesn't then he has absolutely nothing to fall back on and would be rightfully prone to the axe.
Personally, I think the writing was on the wall throughout the last half of last season,but , as usual, our board always appear to be the last to see what most people can see and is the reason why we are always behind the 8 ball.

| Price said in his post match interview on Sky that he wanted the team to 'play more footy' and seemed pretty unhappy with our display... Seems he WANTS us to be better with our attack and we simply aren't pulling it off.

Thanks Mr Barrowclough, I'll try and remember to avoid watching the Wire when I finish this stretch. Don'tr forget to shut the door on your way out.

I agree. The move that HKR scored against us at the start of the game was a cracker. The timing was great.
It is not as if you need lots of different moves. Castleford (few years back) used to use the same few moves with Luke Gale pulling the strings on the left of the field ... and scored loads of tries.
It's all pretty simple. You do wonder a bit what exactly we do in training.

| You only have to compare how Charley played when he first came to us to now. Very few gaps created for the wingers to exploit. Other than ploughing down the middle I have no idea what our system is meant to be. The closer we get to the try line the less likely we are to score. It is as boring as hell.

| The half backs have taken some stick BUT
Widdop: 1st Try His Kick through 2nd Try Class Finish off left foot 3rd Try Involved until got flattenned
Austin: That was a belter of a drop goal from a long way out to win game.
So pretty effective really.
The left edge Widdop/Currie/King/Lineham ... looking good.
But how our right edge with Austin & BMM isn't looking dangerous is beyond me.

| Defensively i think we've massively Improved under price, but he's added nothing to our attack and we've gotten worse since July last year. I'd be happy for Price to keep doing what he's doing defensively but we should bring in a full time attacking coach.
The Railwayman said it perfectly, i haven't seen any set attacking plays in a long time. We seem to score off lucky breaks and lucky bounces rather than plays we have in the book to break a teams defence.
It's weird that we're playing really boring crap rugby yet we keep making finals and won the challenge cup last year. It's utterly bizzarre.

| I'd rather win than be like Castleford, who as the commentator stated "played magnificently", and lost by 10 points to nil.
How can a team play magnificently and lose without scoring a point? Fortunately, I only tuned in and watched the last 20 minutes, and won't lose any sleep over missing two penalty goals.
