when we play st helen's we seem to lose composure when it matters.
we badly missed morley tonight and dare i say it missed briers kicking game. perhaps they could have brought the composure we needed at times.

we will beat st helen's when it really matters though. mark my words.

York 79

Yes we also missed the defence of cunningham, the attack of gidley, the size and go forward of cayless but we didn't miss long because eastmond took you apart.

It's as if eastmond fitted straight into longs boots.

The faces may change but the script stays the same.

Don't think it was a lack of composure, we were out done in the forwards and lacked any halfbacks. Monas played at 9 most of the first half and looked great, Grix went off early in the first which left of short. Saints made a lot more metres.

I would love to play them with Kermit the frog Albert as the ref. I ma sure he knows about their glory but dont think he would lick their bums as much as our other Muppet's. The discipline from Saints was awful.
This needs looking at.

What a game shame we lost.
Think carney looked a bit rusty, but how good did young ben harrison look he defo one for the future awesome display.

what I will say though is young Harrison looks like he going to be a top player.

I really think he will be a star.

It won't be long before he ends up at saints or wigan.

Why?

Because we need to replace Fielden.

harrison was awesome. are younger players really took the game to them. cooper was also excellent when he came on. morley, briers, higham and 'offloadless' rau will give us the guidance and intensity we will need agains't pies in semi and any further games with a bit of luck. don't want to tempt fate.

He won't want to stay at Warrington if he got any ambition to win thjngs.

I am sure that the lad knows that the Goons are now a spent force.

you wont be able to afford him unless you break the salary cap AGAIN

Why would he go to Wigan then?

Again, so why would he want to go to Wigoon

yeah you will always be scum.

Yup, even down to the "Cheat to win" mentality of Pryce and Wilkin.

They should get a ban slapped on them for what they did to Grix, it was nearly as bad as Howell on Tomkins. And seeing as the RFL firmly believe that an incident that causes an injury is worse than one that doesn't (Utter fallacy, but there you go), then they should get at least 4 matches! (Of course, that's working on the RFL's slapdash non-forward thinking ruling just mentioned. My own view is a match each, but seeing as they didn't even get PENALISED for it, then I see it being very unlikely).

One day, Saints will beat Warrington through skill and skill alone. It may be in a hundred years time, but one day it'll happen. Forward passes and high tackles spoilt tonight. I was actually going to cheer for Saints seeing as that would help our League position, but from that moment I came to my senses. Warrington beating Saints will happen first, and hopefully when it matters most at the end of the season (Or in the challenge cup if you beat us in the semi final, assuming Stains make it to the final.)

Seriously, Hock facing 2 years out for taking drugs... In my view, attempting to injure a fellow professional is a FAR WORSE offence (and don't even get me started on 2 charges of assault and "ball tampering", Pryce should've had a Sine Die ban AGES ago)

(Please note, I didn't in any way say I disagree with Hock getting 2 years out, he's been a total idiot and it's a shame because he was one of the best players in the League, and Great Britain will miss him, but he absolutely deserves it. Unfortunately I feel I have to point this out, because some fans have this amazing ability to read stuff I haven't written.)

That's total bollox. It was nothing like. Swinging arm at worst. You sound right silly with your bitterness.

Why do Saints fans insist on bringing this "bitterness" up whenever I post something they can't argue with? What exactly have I got to be bitter about?

The fact that in 218 matches we've beat you 126 times? Or that in Super League, in 47 matches, we've beaten you 23 times? (You're on 21, there's 3 draws in there) Nope, surprisingly, I'm not bitter about that at all.

You say swinging arm? I say that's STILL against the rules. High, and a swinging arm... that's making things worse, isn't it?

You sound right silly with your lack of forethought and intelligence. But hey, I expect nothing less.

Pretty sure with the Pryce hit, the impact was chest initially.

People need to stop being brainwashed by the Sky propaganda machine and actually watch the footage as impartially as possible.

If we're talking the hit on Grix, Pryce and Wilkin go straight into the head, then Pryce makes a half-hearted attempt at dropping the elbow onto him on the floor. He did that several times tonight, that was probably the lightest one.

I don't tend to listen to Eddie and Stevo anyway.

Yes, I say swinging arm at worst. It was nothing like the elbow in the face given to Tomkins by Howell, which is what you were comparing it with. And it was either or both Wilkin/Pryce. From the footage it is hard to see who did the damage and whether it could be classed as high because Grix was also moving in a downwards direction. He split his lip so far as I know, which will need plastic surgery to fix, but that does not automatically mean that he was illegally tackled. Fas was injured from a tackle but that's just the game. I'm sure the RFL will pick up on it during their video watch this week and we will hear if Pryce and/or Wilkin were considered to have done something wrong. If they were then they should be punished accordingly. But from the footage it is very hard to tell.

And Wire were not angels when it came to aiming for the neck/face. Take a look again if you can stand it. Silverwood missed plenty on both sides.

Exactly, looked like a chest hit, bouncing into the face. No clear sign of intent (although Pryce had a guilty look back at the ref, so he clearly knew it had ended up high), and talks of sending offs or bans by video are ridiculous and just a little bit bitter.

Maybe some posters have next gen HD, also known as cherryandwhitevision.

Don't think lack of composure had much to do with it, having Morley out was a big miss and then to lose Grix and Clarke, it certainly didn't help.

Thought our defence was poor in the middle of the park and Morley would have defiantly strengthened that area.
