Sounds like we're giving it a good go though, other than the errors it sounds like we're playing some good rugby.

This is ridiculous. Is it the refs mandate to know blow the whistle whenever he sees a Trin shirt approaching?

Crag Hall seems to be having a good game

Can't complain with the result, but the amount of penalties second week running!

Even the radio commentary team were taking the p*** out of the ref

i think you were very harshly refereed tonight.... decent try chalked off... penalised all night.... poor show really.

Played well tonight against a very good team and also against a big penalty count and the disruption of losing BJB in the warm up. This team has something about them and don't think anybody even on this doom and gloom forum can knock tonight's performance. Up the Trin

Reasonable performance tonight, a couple of silly mistakes and a lopsided penalty count didn't help. We had three or four clean breaks that we just couldn't quite finish off which could have altered the result. Having said that Warrington are a good side who'll destroy better sides than ours.
Overall though, I can see some improvement.

Personally thought it was a terrible game tonight in terms of quality, entertaining yes but both teams way off.

If Wire had been on form that would have been a cricket score.
If Wakefield had been on form it would have meant Wire didn't have plenty of cheap metres, penalties and turnovers in your own half.

Both teams equally garbage though showed who had the more quality(not meaning to sound arrogant with that).

Well as I am supporting from thousands of miles away and cannot make a game until Easter listening and getting reports from family and friends it sounds like we have more steel and togetherness, I listened to the HKR game and it sounded like we were our own worst enemies at times giving penalties and easy possession away. I have not seen anything from last night other than we played well failed to finish of breaks but again got caned in the penalty dept. Oh and all this rubbish about other teams can play better perhaps our game is preventing that (tactics) once the attack comes together it looks like we will go OK.

It's a heartening scoreline and if we hadn't given away 6 points at the start and kept the dumb penalties down we would have had a chance.
All in all nothing to be too down about.

Bring on Les Cats!

Everybody chooses their off day when they play us.
The Sky TV highlights show that our tries are quite good quality. They weren't given to us. We had a couple stopped on the line too.

Their tries were easy at times and we need to fix that, especially helping them down field with penalties. Some was individual effort from Gidley.

Wel done Trinity! Short turn around between games as well.Good battling performance.

Craig Hall played well apparently...

Yes, Craig Hall went well, especially as he was down to play centre and then ended up as emergency FB after the BJB injury.
Tom Johnstone deserves some praise. Had a strong game and looked our most dangerous player with ball in hand, well played

:CLAP

Glad I made journey last night, considering the 5 day turn around was a great performance from the lads.

Tom Johnstone, Craig hall , England were the pick from last night, performing well and no errors,

We still look nervous at times trying to force off loads where at times just secure ball and go to ground, defence was strong again,

We all know errors and penaltys are killing us, but silver wood was shocking, 2 poor ref performances in a row now.

Tom Johnstone was the pick, he just needs the belief to drop shoulder step off and go past the last defender, he's rapid, and gets a little nervous towards try line, but he's young raw but has big future if looked after.

Miller did better, Finns kicking frustrating at times, still needs to improve,

There backs in sandow and gidley are world class and it showed, they made 3 tries out of nothing off there own game, we need that to relieve pressure off our forwards , this was how I saw it no negativity, I thought we looked the better side in last 20 mins, cut out mistakes, improvement from halfs we have a team that will be competitive and at home in front of own fans can get some results,
Cas away , wire away, good Widnes side who dished it out to Leeds, not a bad effort,

Bring on dragons at home!!!

Well done lads!!

We competed last night which given where we were last season is a good step in the right direction. It was though an awful game in terms of quality with the difference being the level Warringtons halfbacks are at. They are up there with the best in the league, if not the best and will be the difference for them against better teams than us this year. Miller and Finn were better in patches, hopefully it will improve as time goes on. Finn does look like he runs in slow motion though! The referreing was ridiculously pendantic for both sides, he seemed determinded to stop the game at every opportunity, the 19 penalties and 28 errors in the game lead to very frustrating watching. Good to see Hall back in the team and playing well, if his attitude is like that for the rest of the season then he will be an asset and could maybe give us the touch of class we have been lacking in the centres when BJB is fit and at fullback.

A point of note, the penalty count was 10-9 to Wire, albeit one of ours was from the kick off. It wasn't as lop-sided as some would think. The refereeing was just dire throughout.

I noticed that his final warm-up involved running straight up and down and he had some kind of thing stuck to his leg. I'm guessing it was some kind of late fitness test and he decided there was the risk of a twinge.

I thought we played well, particularly in defence.

Not quite quick and decisive enough in attack yet, but I was quite satisfied with the performance. If people could learn to either catch the ball or stop making dumb offloads to no one, we'll do even better,

I didn't think Warrington were great, and they did look like a team who'd only played twice and then had a long break, but that isn't to take away how competent we were. A full-on definite improvement and they were rightly applauded at the end.

Could not make it last night due to work so had to listen on radio sounded like they gave it a real go and that they need to cut the errors/penalties Probably a short turn around did us good to keep improving and build cohesion in the side

If you get chance to seek out Tony Smiths interview after the game, it's very complimentary to you guys.

Those that did go, what did you think of sandow?

Classy half back as was Gidley.The difference between the teams, appart from penalties of course

As someone else noted above, the penalty count was 10-9. Not exactly decisive either way.

It wasn't decisive in that way but it negated any good defensive work we did whereas we couldn't take advantage of ours.
Our errors were probably more important in this game rather than penalties.
