Agreed, wigan and wire are the new saints and leeds

which 2?

higham was anonymous........Monaghan had a stormer, and Moore turned the game when he came on.
Roby was average,

so i assume you mean Moore and Monaghan

Obviously Monaghan and Roby. Can you think of any better hookers in Super League?

So which one of us has the RFL on a leash?

Given some of the decisions tonight, Wire.

You'll see when the disciplinary board is out end of this round.

luke robinson england international maybe ?

Roby at 9 would be one of the first names on the teamsheet for me.

For a coach, I agree.

For Joe Bloggs switching over and watching that first half I don't. I much prefer an Origin style game where it's close, brutal and intense, but thoroughly enjoyed watching that tonight.

roby average?? thats the most diluded posts ive seen on here. roby and puletua were the two best players for saints today. i think saints put a better performance against than you did at the dw so you should be unhappy i suppose. either team could've of won that game, and please can someone tell me why wire fans are scum of the league then as seen nothing wrong from both sets of fans tonight.

one thing anyone notice that the saints end was still full at the end of the game think if it was wigan half would of gone after the drop goal by briers.

dont worry you are not scum probs the best along with us giants

the scum of the league is leeds they hold that title

Probably because Saints actually ran you close in this game. compare that to them leaving early last week and its clear to see we dominated our game better than you could. not a 2011 standard Wire performance for me but I guess thats because you were up against tougher opposition than what you've been used to lately...

You can't judge games like that or we could say 'well we've put 50 on so many teams that you haven't so we are obviously better'

The thing is a) Saints always bring their A game to us
b) Humans are not robots therefore you can't guarentee consistency.

You clearly didn't watch the Saints vs Wigan game last week.

Fair point, I was just making the point about Saint's fans staying behind compared to last week. They did run you close tonight, but after a loss to Salford, and run close by Saints, do you think Warrington could possibly be tiring? (Genuine question)

no i didn't watch that game. so thats why but just saying well done to them as after that drop goal a lot of fans would of left while they stayed today. and byt the way we beat harlequins 82-6 how much did you win by ? not that much we must be better than you surely! doesn't work like that m8 and you know it.

salford was a slip up and today was close match and they pushed us a lot harder than you did at the DW so does that also make saints a better team than you? come the end of the season we can see who is the most consistent team in the hubcap and then we have the pleasure of the play-offs were i can see any one of five teams winning. (wire,wigan,hudds,saints and leeds if they get form).

Exiles match played its part and Saints will ALWAYS give us a game. I don't think Wires are tiring yet...HKR last week?

I don't count the Salford game, not because we lost just because it was a disruptive week beforehand.

Last week against KR i thought we'd struggle, we battered and out enthused them everywhere, no i don't think we're tired my thoughts are simply

a) even though we beat them earlier in the season i still think we have a little mental lock against Saints still in there
b) Saints were massively up for this game and their intensity levels were completely different to last week
c) For me that was Saints best performance this year and they still lost.
d) at 18-0 we thought we had it in the bag, we got cocky and paid the price for it.

No. We were terrible last week. We were better this week. We had the right attitude. But we are suffering for the inexperience in our team. We have a tendency to panic when the game becomes a challenge and this results in dropped ball, poor decisions and playing one up. We don't have Keiron on the pitch to steady the ship when things go a bit awry. We lose our composure. But that will get better as our young guys gain more experience.

Defence from both teams was poor.

I wasn't expecting to win. But we didn't embarrass ourselves, thank goodness!

Horatio Yed - our best performance was at the DW. What you saw tonight was simply more aggression than last week and fewer unforced errors than last week.

Love it, Wire have their first double over Saints in god knows how many years and they are on here minutes after the match telling US that WE are obsessed

If you have a title with WIRE in it expect WIRE fans to comment in it

HKR haven't won away all season, we put 40 on them, so its not really hard.



I don't think that was their best performance. Their best 80 was probably Good Friday like SaintsFan said.
I'm probably just confusing tiring with cocky, either way, neither of those is a good attribute to have on round 19. You can and will most likely slip up again this year though, so you best hope Wire drop the cocky attitude

Excellent summary, Phil. Except obviously that Wigan are good, not a lesser evil!

You're right. Of course it was an obstruction. And I was livid!

It was a good game from an entertainment perspective but not from a quality perspective (apart from the handling, which was pretty good in the rain). As you say the defence was poor.

It was a good game for Wigan because all the Wigan fans who have been in doom and gloom this season about whether we can beat Wire (which always seemed bizarre to me) now have seen the evidence that this Wolfs side is nothing special. In that sense it was a very good game indeed!
