It was just one of those games when pretty much everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. I refuse to blame the ref, as Leeds are solely in control of how they perform, and today Warrington just performed better. It's good to see a lot of people with the same view, as a lot of people in the ground were giving the refs abuse, which wasn't called for-at the end of the day, I feel even if Leeds had have got some of the 50/50s and 'key' decisions, Warrington would have still won, and deservedly so.

I don't know how much last week might have taken out of the tank, but we looked tired, particularly in our line speed, which was woeful compared to the Wolves'. Also, a lot of errors crept back into our play, and Warrington's kicking game was much superior, so there are no real grievances over who won, and we can accept they were just the better team.

Still, we all know Mac and the boys have got it in them to turn it around next week, which, against Saints, should be a cracker.

(As an aside, Westwood's four tries, if they had been scored by another player, will have smarted a bit. As it is, I feel he is a great player who deserves a bit of limelight after all the hard work and graft he consistently puts in.)

Psst, my name is not really G1.

It's G4.

I will admit to finding some of the tactics baffling and his squad use is a bit odd sometimes, but I still think McDermott gets a raw deal on these forums.

Essentially, when we lose it's down to the coach, when we win it's down to the players. That doesn't seem entirely fair.

I have said before that I think his regime is a vulnerable one, being dependent on getting end results that justify some of the more dubious stuff that precedes them. I think that makes him (rightly or wrongly) more at risk of criticism if and when the results dry up than he would be if the week-in-week-out stuff was amazing. But as long as he delivers the results when it counts I personally struggle to find any major fault and he should get the praise that such results deserve. IMO of course.

Keep up - we're talking about an alias' aliases derived from someone else's alias' alias here. It's quite simple and not paranoid at all. He knows, you know.

A very fair appraisal, I think.

I like the fact McDermott does things differently and is single-minded in his approach to winning the comp, despite the reputational risks of not being a crowd-pleaser. Far more interesting than some wind-up, tub-thumping gorilla like Wane...

wane looks like a gorilla?
