Someone else mentioned Currie moving in field a lot more. That would have exposed Ratch too, especially if Williams was under the weather.

Kevin Naiqama was superb yesterday. When it's hot defences struggle to put the pressure on ... so he gets more good ball than normal. Hence so many soft tries.

Hope it's not hot next game v Wigan otherwise French & Field could have some fun.

Walker will captain Warrington one day I reckon. He's got all the attributes. He's aggressive and enthusiastic and mouthy without it ever boiling over.

I mentioned the 5 from 5 and Huddersfield 3 from 5 being crucial, which is a fact. There were 5 tries for each team, and as I pointed, out our defence is not good enough. I made no comment on whether the 5 goal kicks were enough to keep a shirt.

We had Ashton and Thewlis, who are no slouches and we didn't get either one into space during the entire game. Thewlis did it all on his own. Yet, Huddersfield carved us open down our left with far too much ease.

I thought he spoke well on the Sky interview.

Yes I could see him as a future leader.

I might be getting soft in my old age, but I’m happy with that. We have lost those games so many times over the years, where we couldn’t stop the flow of momentum and got done at the end of the game.



Win it, fix up the little bits, move on. Big one next week

They seemed to but is it our left edge at fault or the fact that they have their two best players on that side.

So move our right edge players to the left ... would they have done any better?

Thewlis has scored a few solo tries now ...

I really can't see why he can't play half back or centre ... mind you I have not coached him ... but if I did I would soon find out.

If I met Powell (in the Wheatsheaf) that would be my second question.

Speaking of thewlis(this is a forced connection) sky were doing their usual waxing lyrical of other teams juniors, price and russell, mainly.



But completely ignored that the pair of them were totally at fault/ineffective for a couple of our tries.



Pryce showing no fb defensive nous whatsoever for the thewlis and walker tries

On 2nd viewing ...

We were unfortunate to have three tries chalked off for "tiny" fingertip touches which would have changed the game. In addition their final try was way forward but not given.

Naiqama, Facebook & Pryce (attacking on the right) where their attacking threat. Though we were easily undone on the left for the Cudjoe try in the first half.

did you see the sky preamble about matt dufty smiffy? thats actually worth a look

I did & very interesting. He does look as though he switches off a bit. Defence has to be a joint responsibility though as the FB can't be everywhere & he's going to get tied up in the tackle but the main organiser role is key.

He's not made as many long distance runs of late & he could do with one as he looks a bit short of confidence.
