I know we play an expanisve game, but how many times do we have to start games with a flurry of dropped balls. This is the third big game on the bounce that we have started this way. We got away with it at Wigan, but we were just as careless at Leeds. I think we went on to defend very well for the last sixty minutes as did St Helens, but we need to respect possession alot more. We conceded eighteen points from our own dropped balls. Not too fussed about the defeat, we lost two home games against mid-table sides last year, can get a couple of silly ones each year.

We play far too flat so there's no where to go or time to make a decision

Yeah not too bothered about the 2 points dropped, the performance was just crazy though. Didn't see the incident at the end of the 1st half properly but it just seemed like plain stupidity, almost handing a try to Saints right on the hooter just after we had scored. Again start of the second half Hill concedes possession with a daft offload, just stupid studid rugby. They need to smarten up.

Is Briers injured? He didn't look right tonight.



Your important players were all shocking tonight.



1 - Hodgson, dropped pretty much every decent ball apart from the one he scored from. His worst ever game for Wire?

6 - Briers, couple of classic Briers moments, but didn't look himself

7 - Myler, completely out of position in most attacking moves, meant Warrington weren't able to shift the ball quick enough

9 - Monaghan, outclassed and embarassed by James Roby again. When our pack was on top Roby was in control of the game like a puppeteer, when yours was top he was like a pneumatic drill at your defense.



Warrington's pack did reasonably well tonight, coping better than Leeds last week with Saints assault on the ruck area. But the attacking structure was pathetic tonight. Far too many times your line looked like a lightning bolt in shape across the line, rather than a deep line and it was Myler who was daydreaming most of the time and not pushing up to the position he should have been in to spread the play. So whenever you did spread the ball there was no fluidity and balls went to ground.



Warrington then compounded that by panicking whenever you did get good position. Hodgson's kick out on the first tackle with 10 to go summed you up tonight. A lot of your fans will say it was just because you played poorly, but you couldn't cope with the first 30 minute onslaught from Saints and not many sides in SL could.

Outplayed by Roby again? Never outplayed Monas once last year? I'll agree r.e Roby tonight, but you weren't amazing the first 30 minutes. 18 points were gifted to you through poor ball retention. i think your defence in your own 20 was unbelievable.

The exact thread title I was going to go for. Enough is enough.



Saddened has made a brave attempt but not really nailed it.



Our pack was shocking to a man tonight. Every one of the props came up with a total Ben Cross offload, each of them within our own 20m or 30m. Disgusting. When we decided to run the ball up straight, we looked decent enough. Unfortunately it was far too late before anyone did that.



Myler was terrible, but perhaps guilty of overplaying or even trying too hard. I didn't think Briers was bad at all, nor indeed was Hodgson until the last 20 minutes when he had a series of brainfarts. For me only Riley came out with any real credit, he wasn't at fault for the horrible read by Atkins for the first try.



Very disappointing. If we continue to play that style, a play-off car crash is a foregone conclusion. If Wigan were as good as they think they are, that result would have come a week earlier.

Agree with the Ghostman. Just watching it on sky+ now and it seems like Saints got away with a ton of decisions in the first 30 mins too. Hodgson was poo though.

Spot on about our lads really. But I don't think you were that great, you didn't need to be. It was far from an all conquering performance. I'm not saying it was all down to us being so poor but I think anyone in Super League could have been three scores up against us in that first half hour. Saints were good - I don't mean to sound like you weren't - but not fantastic.

Yeah, when I read it back I regretted the 'again'. Fair cop

Carvell takes the award for thickest of the match, that offload on the half time hooter, jeeeeez.

Rank dogdirt performance simple as. We got out of jail at Wigan as they could not finish. Our pack was decimated tonight. Carvell should be fined for abject bovine stupidity for that offload with 5 seconds to go. Wood looked like he was playing for them. Monas outclassed by Roby. Blythe brainfart offload on 1st in own 40 then backs up with a penalty then try. (He is not top SL standard in a million year). We have had better games against Saints under Cullen and that is ing saying something.



Big challenge for Smith. I detect an unsettled camp.

Unsettled by what? There doesn't seem to be much to disrupt them at the moment?

Indeed. "Unsettled camp"?! he might work for the Sun or the Mirror, as that is a very sensationalistic thing to say.

Wire71 has always been more comfortably deathriding the team than he has praising our achievements. I wouldn't worry too much.
