and westerman gives away the first penalty of the new season

think this will be a tight first game, some players look pretty much out on their feet already

too many errors in the first half. neither team really deserves any points

Question.

At about 30 minutes Ryan Hall kicked through. Just before the Warrington player got to the ball it looked like Ryan Hall's foot got to the ball and he nudged it forward and it came off the Warrington player's hand. Seeing as the ball was rising off Hall's foot surely that should've been classed as a charge down.

Am I just being dim?

Hall knock-on completely ignor... I mean missed prior to their 'try'.

only been half watching but Leeds look absolutely gash how aren't they getting shat on?

That ben currie looks some player. Great bit of business by us getting cash for westerman and lineham, thought they where warringtons 2 worst players

Currie was incredible, great vision with some of those offloads, I want to praise Gidley, very solid, very strong. That Warrington defence is going to be tough to get through this year.

Gidley was strong but don't think he deserved mom.

Rhys Evans for me.

Sandow MOM for me, involved in the key plays which won the game for warrington. typical 1st game, loads of errors, players not up to match speed yet. both these teams will get better

Westerman spent the whole game blowing out his aris. It was a typical westerman performance, full of energy in opening stages, tries hard then blows and becomes frustrated. It is only one game and I was a fan of westy at times but it does look great business.

Yep

No, I was thinking exactly the same thing. If that was a knock on, then all you have to do is boot the ball at an opposition player hard so that the ball bounces off and is 'knocked on'.

It looks like Wire are going to become a major threat again. Probably caught Leeds at the right time at the beginning of their new era and with in game injuries to McGuire and Suttcliffe. Even allowing for that I thought that Warringtons defence and desire was outstanding and the Gidley/Sandow partnership is going to be massive.

From a local viewpoint of our ex players, I thought that Cox looked very promising and hopefully has buckled down, Westerman was outstanding, Lineham will really need to up his game if he wants to stay in the side of a team at that end of the table. 150k or whatever you got looks good business.

What was the attendance at tonight's game? Looked pretty full.

I read just over 16,100. Enjoyed the game. We only get 2 televised matches/ week and this morning's was a good game. Warrington will have a good season. A Hull match will not be shown live here for a couple of weeks.

At least we have seen westerman not banking on seeing a lot of Ellis this season!!!!

Has Ellis wronged you in some way? You seem negatively obsessed by him?

You've seen a very different game to me regarding westerman. Right decision for us to cash in and will suit our team better him not being here. But he was a real trooper for them. Had a right game. Lineham was poor though.

Westerman was fantastic all game.

Westy was good and a beast in defence, Lineham probably the poorest Wire player on the day

That's what he did all year for Hull, but gained lots of criticism for from fans of other clubs, he is very hardworking, but doesn't offer a great deal in attack (In fact at times last year, he got in the way and slowed things down).

If you want a hardworking LF, Westy is perfect for that role, if you want a ball player and line breaker, Westerman isn't that type of forward IMO.

His stats show this, with 39 tackles and but only 53 meters for 9 drives (Lowest average gain from any Warrington forward).

I wouldn't swap him for any of our back three.

Currie is such a great player though, he has it all, will be an England player soon.

Sums it up for me, Gidley made more tackles, Warrington was at they most dangerous in attack when westerman had a short spell of the pitch in the second half. Im so happy we' got rid, couldn't take another season of his bang average performances and potential tag

Currie was superb, his chase down on Burrow summed up his performance. Never stopped.

Good game to get the season started. Strong defenses from both sides, but a fair few errors. Still, its early doors!
