I agree with you. Warrington have one of the best, if not the best front row in the league. I think we should have had a bigger bench.
The effort today was unquestionable.
Ditto. While confidence is an undoubted quality, i think we got a little too big for our boots on this one.

Especially with a hard game coming up next Friday.

Spoilt too many great games by ending them with a quick drop goal a few minutes in to extra time. Anyone know if this is correct? Pretty sure they have to win by a try or penalty over there now. It is probably worth taking a look at over here too.
No drop goals still count. NZ Warriors beat the Roosters this season with a Stacey Jones drop goal in the 85th minute.
As a neutral, I think it makes for great entertainment - classic match yesterday.
Regardless of whether the Golden Point rule is right to sort out a game, you have to think about the players.
Yesterday was so hot and both sets of players were wiped out and having a further 10mins each way with a game totaling 100mins of Rugby League in those conditions would be dangerous IMO.
At the end of the day the amount of defending we did early on took it's tool in the end yet it's something that the team have been able to overcome in matches so far this season but yesterdays hot conditions made it a totally different ball game and the early defending was amplified more than it would have been in cooler conditions.

I don't think there was much between the sides and a draw was the fair result really.
There must have been a coin thrown to decide who kicks off?
At least the game didn't finish with one team dropping a goal before the other had even had the ball.

HKR are about as poor as it gets.
