| here's a link to the Wire official site with their take on the game, interesting to read Tony Smith's comments, clearly he does not share TheOriginalWire's view of the Giants.
TS you're sacked, listen to TheOriginalWire's he knows you know

Disagree with this. Evans has a lot of potential. Just because commentators talk him up does not mean supporters should knock him down when he has a bad game.

You should try to improve your trolling. Engalnd did better in the 4 natioins last year than they did in the internationals the year before. Whilst that is not saying much it is true.

Somewhat of a ridiculous comment on Rhys this. He's by no means the finished article but is young and has bags of talent. Unfortunately as a previous poster has said hr had a fantastic game against Leeds and since then TV commentators and our own fans have bigged him up a little too much.
Have to admit that from why I've seen of him Jerry is looking like and outstanding player.
As for last night we were out muscled, out enthused and completely out played. Your defenece was fantastic and closed us down so quickly we just didn't get chance to play.
Not the first game we have lost this season and won't be the last. Superleague is looking pretty open and there are 5/6 teams with a chance of finishing in the top 2.

| Robbery in hudds town centre last night.
Police think it took place between 8 and 10 pm , and the main suspects are the wires pack, as no one saw them between those times......
....oh wait. They have an alibi. LOD says he had them in his pocket at that time.

| Firstly Rhys Evans is a real talent and I am sure will play for England and so will McGilvery on current form.
Secondly Morley is a shirker, a prop forward that specifically targets the smallest men on the field such as McGilvery and Simpson and flies in 3rd man when our pack has the ball is nothing in my book. Cheapshot merchant. The high tackle on McGilvery was disgusting and think the RFL will have more to say on this, watch this space!!!!, he always seems to spend more time on the bench when you play us, O'Donnell owned him last night.
Thirdly Westwood has gone sown in my estimations, real ruff, tough 2nd rower who never shys away from giving some hammer out, last night Larne Patrick gave him a little back and he was squalking like a good un to Silverwood, come on Ben if you dish it out you should be able to take it on the chin when someone returns the compliment rather than whinging.
The Giants had some good forwards missing in Mason, Griffin and Fa'alogo Wolves had Briers missing, the Giants pack outplayed the supposedly best pack in SL and gave the backs a field day with the ball, Wire pack including Morley, Westwood and Carvell got owned and were 2nd best, Myler and Bridge had no chance on the back of this.
Massive, Massive well done to the Giants last night a well deserved 2 points and made Stevo look like a tool too!!!!!

Got to disagree with this. Morley certainly ain't a shirker who targets little men. (ask Crabtree about the 2009 final).
The tackle was a bad one and deserved a penalty, no doubt about it. I don't think there will be any further action as McGilvery was either slipping or ducking slightly.
To call him a cheap shot merchant is pathetic. Since he signed for us he has an almost perfect disciplinary record.
Some Wire fans will say he is the best prop in the league which I don't agree with, however, for us he was exactly the leader on and off the pitch we were crying out for before his signing.

| He shirked the work last night when it got tuff and targeted both Simpson and McGilvery while trying desperately to avoid LOD and Larne Patrick and that's all I can base my judgement on. You may have a different opinion.

You've obviously got a bee in your bonnett about something, if you wish to judge a 10+ year career in England and Oz on one game then so be it.

| First of all, as a Wire fan, no problem in saying that we were out played, enthused and out fought. Well done to the Giants who fully deserved the win and will be in with a shout of winning SL and the CC this year - an excellent squad with some real talent.
Secondly, a couple of observations:
Morley's tackle on McGillivary was identical to how he hit Harrison Hansen in the home game v Wigan last season which was regarded as one of the hits of the year. I didn't think it was a penalty;
There were a few silly comments earlier about Rhys Evans. I've watched the game since the early 80's and from a Wire perspective Rhys is one of the top 3 talents I have ever seen at the club at his age - the others being Sculthorpe and Iestyn Harris. Rhys is however a centre, not a winger. His best games this season were playing in that position.
Anyway, good luck for the rest of the season. You never know, we might have a rematch at Old Trafford to look forward to.

| A good post, though I respectfully disagree regarding Morley's tackle. If the tackle was identical to the one on Harrison Hansen then it should also have been penalised as the initial contact on Jerry was to the head, it doesn't matter if he is ducking, diving, slipping or sliding you have to ensure you contact below head height and Morley didn't.
I personally can't remember the Morley hit on Hansen so can't comment, can only go by what you said of it being identical.
Good luck for the rest of the season to you guys aswell.

| As a neutral watching this game Wolves were out played in every department. Even some of the rough stuff didn't work from Warrington, Huddersfield just took it on the chin and got on with it. Brough again was probably the difference with Help from Robbo moving the Giants around the park which was something that Warrington were unable to do without Briers. The tackle from Morley was disgraceful he will probably get at least 1 match as he's already on the RFL's repeat offenders list.

No charge
Player makes legitimate attempt to tackle, does not use swinging arm, opponent falling into tackle, contact shoulder with face of opponent, player bent into contact with opponent, penalty sufficient, not misconduct.

| RE:rhys evans i think some people misconstrued my original comment.
im not saying he isn't a talent because he wouldn't be playing in warrington's 1st team if he wasn't, i was just saying that IN MY OPINION based on the games i've seen him play,he has had ONE good game and hasn't done enough IMO to warrant the praises been showered on him.
as for morley, he has been there done it and mixed it with the big boys for years now and although a dirty git at times to call him a shirker is a bit harsh,yes the tackle on jerry was a bit naughty ( im sure he knew what he was doing) but again,i dont think he meant to cause injury

| Morley is a good professional. I wouldn't disagree with the notion he's getting a bit long in the tooth but anyone who calls him a shirker is FOS, frankly. Banter is one thing but there are one or two of our lot who make me cringe on when reading the oppo' forums. Pride comes before a fall and all that. It's easy to give it the big mister on rlfans.
