Much moaning about the ref
Much congratulatory slather about a close, entertaining game.

Meh, Wire were inept. The British game needs to set its sights higher than that level of performance if wants to compete when it matters.

Thought it was brilliant. That was a good close game, and confirmed that it is rubbish that our top teams can't compete.

The tacle on Penney looked horrendous at the time, but more viewings from the inside angle showed he was right with shoulder first.

Would have loved to see my own team playing in these games.

Was really impressed with Hill, England, and Sims, who looked really strong.

Despite both high shots starting somewhere other than the head, both were, in my opinion, reckless to say the least. Ten minutes sit-downs were in order.

And a good game. Warrington made too many silly errors.

We missed Ratchford, I'm getting more frustrated with Myler as the years roll on.

Agree with Gotcha I thought it was a cracking game that showed we can compete with the Aussies. A few daft errors really cost Warrington. I also thought they lacked a bit of leadership. I reckon if Briers had still been playing that Warrington would've won that.

Keep Wheeler fit stick him in the halves and Ratch at 1 and I'm good, if Myler went tomorrow i doubt I'd raise an eyebrow, love his support play, i think it's 2nd to none but if that is all he has to offer then he needs shipping out.

A cracking game, in the sense the sides were evenly matched and there was a decent level of intensity about it.

Beyond that, I find your post contradictory. It's precisely those daft errors and that lack of leadership (plus a second rate kicking game) that costs us again and again at international level - major reasons why we don't win are still at the forefront, it would seem.
Although I thought the score flattered Wire slightly, they may indeed have won with Briers. But that would have been against a side that finished, what, 11th and is still a fortnight away from their season proper.
I would agree that we can compete, I just feel that that game fell some way short of demonstrating it.

As a neutral I thought it was a really entertaining game - it had everything and could have gone either way right down to the last minute.

As a Wire fan I'd be thinking we got the sh*tty end of the stick regarding the leniency with some of the ref’s calls.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Leaving aside arguments about quality it contained a level of intensity so often lacking in Super League. Warrington were very competitive and, remember, Warrington weren't the English Champs, Grand Finalists or even cup winners. They finished fifth in our league table last year.

I've always liked Wheeler but he has never looked physically fit which is why I think he has been so injury prone. I've a mate who is a Saints fan who says he was one of the most naturally gifted players of his generation.

i would have concerns with warringtons back line. both wingers looked average at best

Sorry but as I've said in other forums St George are not a top team, they have plenty of quality but will struggle to make the 8.

You say you were impressed with Sims but he coughed up the ball on more than one occasion which lead to points. I thought he let wire down but was not alone.

It was an exciting game though and was a bit gutted wire didn't win. They made plenty of cheap errors and that's why they lost. I would argue that it says we are still well off. I hope the pies and Saints can do it.
