,,and he looks mean and lean. I don't know how they get someone match fit after such a long lay off, but they've clearly done a good job.

Currie did well tonight. I was very nervous every time he got tackled but he looked confident. He played because Danny Waljer got ill today apparently. Mamo was also very good. Can't see him losing his place next week.

Thought Ben looked confident in his knee and assured, and nothing can dull that rugby brain. We look so much slicker with him in the team.

Good, solid professional performance from Warrington. managed the game very well. Castlefords famed left edge didn't get a sniff all night...some very good defence on show. So pleased for Ben Curry. Heck of a game to come back in! Hope he's not suffered any ill effects...he looked strong and confident in his leg...good signs.

Watched the game on Sky...my god ...Eddie is getting worst! His dislike of Warrington is not even semi-hidden now. I expect it to get worst until he finally hangs up his mic. Good riddance.

And did anyone hear Jon 'Cas' Wells talking up his scrum half after the match...its like insider dealing. Shouldn't be allowed.

That last paragraph, OE.
Cringeworhy.
That was almost a "come and get me" advert, for anyone watching.

Wells really is a bell end

I best get this in before our good friend RD pops up .......... I thought Dec Patton was excellent.

Ok for me
A1 pass for Manu's try
Pathetic for that first half kicking game .

For me, he's doing ok. Nothing more or less.
An upgrade is all I want. I want him to be great
He plays in P&B, after all

I think tonight perfectly illustrates Dec Patton....for every good thing he does..he does something bad. He did OK today...he just needs to cut out the silly mistakes. The pass for the 1st try was excellent. The kick out on the full was poor. I hope more game time will improve his game.

Great stuff from Wire following the defeat at Catalans.

This is the kind of thing I like to see, because its something that we didn't used to be good at. We have often been a team that can turn one defeat in to a run of bad form. I have confidence with Steve Price's set up that the dressing room has a kind of resilience that they can move on and get back on the horse as though a defeat never happened.

I think the opening to the season looks really encouraging, although I'm not getting ahead of myself.

As for the Sky commentators, I'm not sure why people get so worked up about them. As long as we win, if the pundits are obviously unhappy and wanted the script to be different, that's funnier for me, because they have to still commentate on us winning and obviously hate it. I get more entertainment from that than if they were sucking up to us.

Although I would find it even more amusing if Paul Cullen was in the studio with them.

Indeed regardless of the shape of the opposition our response was much better than that of old. Price has us in excellent shape. We're 4 from 5 and we're nowhere near our potential. We're looking tidy. Just like to say my MOM was Philbin....he was excellent when he came on and if he was wearing a red v he'd be getting pawed to death (he's better than Lees and Knowles).

Dec Patton was key for me.
Couple of dumb kicks early doors but they wasn't in a risk region.
....however, who dares wins...and he did.
My mom.

Agree about Philbin.Def my mom.

Him and Hughes from the pack have claims.
Hill frustrating again with dumb penalties this season.

He was nowhere near MOM but a better performance last night.

Double pist

Agree about Philbin. There was a ridiculous point last night when an obviously bored Phil Clarke tried to spark a debate about starting Philbin from the off. His off the bench impact is everything, so, the ‘debate’ was a non starter.

Then again, Clarke has always likes a ‘mass-debate’!

Thought BMM played hard. Sometimes I cringe when he goes in with the ball, I always fear an injury or a stupid knock on, but last night he was solid.

Tbh, I think the point he was making there was that tasi is a bit . I had my reservations about him when it was announced, he's a shirt filler currently, I'm not seeing any upside to playing him.

Brilliant Matt!!!!!

I couldn`t agree more, the guy is stealing a living on Sky.

I was watching this game with a guy who hasn't watched RL previously he was full of praise for the game as we all are, but he did ask why the team appeared in better shape without the "big fella with the black hat" and when he came back on in the second half the opposition became stronger and scored. I watched it back when I got home and kind of agree with him?

Overall from me a good performance and great to see Ben Currie playing and doing 80 unscathed minutes

Interesting observation! Morale is a huge influence and one wonders how the team feels when a well known ‘penalty machine’ comes back on? I mean, if more than a few of us as spectators view him that way, you’d imagine the lads do, to a point, whether he’s the captain or not? I also think his gobbiness doesn’t do us any favours either.

Unfortunately, because Hill has a reputation for giving away penalties, he's now being targeted by the opposition, the officials and his critics. I'm not sure how many times he was pinged last night but at least one was very harsh.

We do have players with the ball leaping in the air when they should be playing the ball (as if they have been shot). The referee then has to make a decision who is at fault. It does not help having the ref. 10 yards away. This part of the game is getting silly as players keep play acting/cheating. Catalan at home are the worst offenders but all teams are at it.
I'd like the two referee idea tried as soon as we can. If the "lead referee" stood alongside the tackle area ... it ought to help. The "second/assistant" referee could mark the offside line. Surely we could find enough refs. to act as the second/assistant ref. ... their main job would be to police the offside line.

Good win with more to come from the team...m.o.m was Clark by a mile with good performancs from young DEC ...up the anti for next week when the cheats are in town

The histrionics at the play the ball are getting beyond a joke now, to the point I suspect teams spend as much time coaching how to milk.penalties as they do anything elae.

It was noticeable that the first penalty for lying on for us came when Philbin came on, simply because he bucked and kicked on the floor (legitimately) to emphasise he was being slowed down.

Either we have become the most lazy, ill-disciplined team in the comp or we are being targeted by the opposition in certain areas.

Quick stat comparison between our props from last night (just to take the biased views out of it)

Westwood 114m at an average of 10.36m 7 tackles no misses no pens conceded
Hill 103m average 7.92m 31 tackles no misses 2 pens
Cooper 88m average 8.8m 35 tackles 2 misses no pens
Philbin 79m average 6.08m 21 tackles 2 misses 1 pen
Tasi 44m average 8.8m 15 tackles 1 miss 1 pen

So that tells me for impact off the bench look at Westwood whilst all round contribution you can't go wrong with Chris Hill.

Stats also say the Daryl Clark was stand out man of the match which is hard to argue with having watched the match live and again on tv.
