That would be a bit random, unless you mean Bobby Tyson Wilson.

Solid effort, very strong defence and good go forward, I wasn't confident when I saw the team's, just lacking that bit of skill in the backs at the moment, our attacking kicking game was very hit and miss (Sneyd was hit and miss also, need some great thing including his defence, but also some poor options and kicking). Though Pryce, Mini and Paea were excellent, I'd look to either swap prop rotations or bring back Feka. Although with the injuries this disrupted our subs as Thompson ended up at centre at Whiting FB. I thought Cunningham did pretty well in his short spell.
I actually thought Warrington probably deserved the win as they were slightly the better side, they offloaded more than us, backed up well (Our biggest issue) and created more chances.
Thought the officials did very well and let the game flow, happy with the performance at this stage of the season and with the team we had out, but disappointed we couldn't at least sneak a point.

I got some real encouragement from last night's game. We were playing one of the favourites for the title with some of our top performers missing and then to lose Shaul and Westie during the game was a real blow. They probably just about deserved the win but although disappointed with the result, I certainly aren't downhearted.

Mixed feelings on that, but overall definitely pleased. A few cases of our play almost being there making it all the more frustrating to just fall short:
Great how we controlled so much possession and position, but frustrating that we still can't turn that into enough points. Great how patient we were for a lot of the game in building pressure, but frustrating that we still aren't quick enough with our PTB & distribution to then stretch them enough. Defence absolutely superb for so long and only conceding 7 points against a top attacking side is marvellous, but then it's frustrating how relatively cheaply we gave those 7 points away and how they were enough to see us lose the match. Great to see us looking so organised (thank you Pryce), but frustrating that that still doesn't include enough runners or support play.
Our poor PTB speed is a real problem though, and when combined with a weak support/offloading game too it will just kill us against the good sides.
Personnel wise, largely a team performance but agree with the calls about Minichiello and Paea, Cunningham did better than I expected, as did Whiting. Much better than last year at centre, but then shone more when he covered fullback IMO, barring one error.
So overall, all FC fans should be happy that we appear to be making progress, but a few of the recent problems are still there and need to be next on the list to fix. We huff and puff well, but still struggle to blow the house down.

All teams a bit rusty 2nd round but when you lose a centre a winger 1 of the comps best 2nd rows n have a prop in Centre n although whiting done it before he's a back row these days n he's playing fullback it's gonna hurt your attack. Thought pryce had more cutting edge than sneyd but sneyd probed well but took some wrong options. Would of had a few clean breaks/tries 2nd half with Shaul on. Whiting was through nearly 3/4 times but didn't have the pace to capitalise
Totally agree about Pryce and Sneyd on the night, but still like the fact that Sneyd has a go at the unpredictable sometimes. Would rather have a half who's not afraid to try something if he thinks it's on than just play the percentages every time (as long as he doesn't pick silly situations to try them in, which he didn't).

Definate progress,a very even game which we could have won. How Jordan Thompson never attempted to move his arm to ground the ball for a try ill never know. Would like to see Pryce run with the ball more,and im beginning to warm to Sneyd who is not afraid to try something different. the big worry for me is Bowden and Green.We lose a lot of impact when these two are together on the field. Bowden continues to miss tackles and should have buried Clarke after he initially broke the line to score. The problem is Feka is great going forward but we lose something in defence when he is on the field and Bowden and Green are hit and miss.Radford is obviously aware of this and no doubt will continue to rotate 2 of these 3 to try and up their games.
