Monaghan looks to be settling down better now, he was involved a lot more, he played like an NRL half, looking to do things, throwing longer passes etc. In the past all he's done is tackled and distributed the ball from one side to the other.

Bridge out wide looks a real threat although he still looks ineffective in the halves, I'm sure we will still get people saying he should play at 6 and could be the next GB 6 etc but open your eyes, his last tackle options are garbage.

Captain Monaghan. It worked in parts, shame our defence and discipline was poor.

I thought both teams gave away too many penalties and was pretty stop start to begin with. Both teams defence was pretty poor on there own line. I think the result could of gone either way, if we had lost i would not of felt robbed. The game was in the balance for all the game i thought. You will deff be in the playoffs i think

Bridge strengthend his case for the centre position, he's not a half back. Monaghan might have been busy but the quality of his passing is awful and has been all season. Despite our poor defence we would have won that with more quality from the half backs.

Bit harsh, he was actually complimenting your side.

agree about silverpud...worst ref in the game..sling him in the lower leagues along with celtic..

I know we shouldn't be concerned with any team other than our own, but if Hull KR are a true reflection of the second best side in the competition then I'm afraid we have a poor product this year.

an ordinary side by anyone's standards ....

and before any rovers fans start spitting chips I fully understand that Wires are poor, we have a job on to even get in the top 8 while you will probably finish in the top 5.

Oh please don't, my sides are hurting, how desparate are you, must you critisize and try to belittle another club because they beat you?, against bradford you were counting the days to the grand final, sorry to disappoint, but we 'IMO' didn't play well at all, didn't have to, not against a bunch of under achieving prima donna's.

Hardly the worst ref Thaler takes that crown!

The decision not to penalise that high tackle was one of many he let go, loads of grapple tackles Warrington got away with but it keeps the game flowing.

The knock on decision well yeah thats a mistake but in the heat of it with a load of players in front of you I would suggest its an easy mistake to make. Was also justice taking shape as Ben Galea had gone to catch one ball that went over his head bounced behind him then went forward and Silverwood classed that as a knock on too so as the great Morgan always says "these things tend to even themselves up over the course of the season".

Rovers were not at their best yesterday but as ever this season we play what is put in front of us not always at our best but we are getting the job done maybe not ugly but deffinately not pretty.

Both teams need to sort their discipline out, dont know if Justin is trying to tap into Nathan Browns tactics of working the ruck area but its not an art form we're up with just yet! Still in saying this we're not giving away the 25+ penalties a game like last year so maybe we're moaning about nothing!

Also dont forget Rovers were missing Chev Walker, Stanley Gene, Nick Fozzard, Rhys Lovegrove and Ben Cockayne so we too were missing 5 regular first teamers.

Care to point out where? I thought we were unlucky to lose a close game, alot of decisions went against us but they even themselves put over the season. 48 mins on the clock was when we first heard a real HKR chant...(notably the first time you took the lead).

Which first half though because we were singing from the first half of the Hull v Cas game if not before! Just our first half was a bit of a quietner!

On the whole your fans were great, some right you know what's though making threatening gestures when we scored our first.

Most ironic post EVER

Seriously, whod have thought a wire fan would ever be able to say that to a saints fan. I LOVE it!

did you read my post out loud to yourself and all the words came out different to the ones i typed..............



I think the phrase i used was "an ordinary side by anyone's standards"

Without Briers we are usually rudderless but we played well and with a little more luck/bounce of the ball, we could have won.

We missed the forwards for the yardage, the defence & the spell periods. We compensated by having our props on the field for longer than we would have liked on a sapping pitch. We also compensated by having the back row take more ball in.

When they were knackered we let in soft tries & gave away soft penalties.

When things were e, all we asked for was to play to their best & show some pride. They did that so I'm happy enough.

I'm not Having Chev Walker as a Regular player .....never in the memory of Man

Or Cockayne, awful player. Just finished watching the re-run and Silverwood was worse than I thought, should have 2 pens for holding down after Vinnies try, the man is a useless tool, the RFL should have sacked him altogether, not saying we would have won the game but he was very harsh and I rarely if ever blame refs.

In my opinion it was our try line defence which cost us in the end as some of the attempts to stop Hull KR players was poor to say the least, some of our players thought it was tick`n`pass on our try line with the amount of effort that went in. Its like an old problem has raised its ugly head again, we scored enough points to win the game but to concede 36 points at any level questions have to be asked, i thought the defence from both sides was fairly poor at times which reflected in how many points were scored in the game.

Think the shot on Dobson after the kick was a late by anderson, and for 90% of the game, warrington had hands in at the play the ball.

But it was a close game, dont think the ref dictated the way it went, could have gone either way

Thought overall Rovers were very much the better team.
However Warrington did have quite a few chances to go ahead etc and but for some embarrassing refereeing the score could have easily been reversed in your favour. The refereeing for the whole weekend seem staggering in terms of how pathetic it was really anyway.

I thought his passing was far, far better yesterday. Much crisper, more accurate and finding his runners, at pace. I thought the left edge linked extremely well, our use of dummy runners, and finding a player hitting a hole behind a dummy runner was excellent.

I've said earlier, for me, easily his best Warrington game.

I thought Monas was good when he didn't have to create anything. When the pressure was on, as usual he flopped and confirmed that he is actually not that good.

PS

I thought our kicking game was e.

Oh god, sickeningly poor. Some of the kicks through, by Bridge, that dribbled to Briscoe made me cringe.

I don't think there's been a bigger Bridge 'fan' on here than me, but I'm totally in the 'he;s a right centre, who can fill in at stand off club' now. Some folk on here, mentioning no names, are adamant that Briers is no miss, Bridge can more than handle the kicking game duties etc, well, simply, he can't.

The thng that was most annoying was Monas technique, he really boots it but he gets underneath it too much and puts too much loft over distance.
