Once we were 26-0 up the game was over and the players just went through the motions and tried a few moves and 'impossible' passes. During this time we bombed at least three tries and the final score flattered Bradford. I got the impression that the players could easily upped things by three or four gears. No complaints at all from me, I've witnessed some real good hidings at Odsal over the years.

I said the same when I was walking out of Odsal. We had at 2 more gears if they were needed. Once we went 26 - 0 the players seemed to ease back and conserve their energy.

I too have been to Odsal & walked away shaking my head at a big defeat but today we were never at risk.

Good to see Bridge back in the squad.

I thought you were toying with us at points today. Bradford gave it all they had and your lads were coasting. I was honestly expecting a kicking and a half off your lot today and really, it didn't happen.

Yes, he got a fair bit of game time too. very impressed with Ben Currie for his try. A hell of a turn of pace for such a big lad.

Another plus is that TS has said we have 'come away pretty much unscathed' (injury wise)

Rhys Williams and Tyrone McCarthy both did extremely well today; made up for both of them who always give their all whenever they are in the team.

Rhys was targeted in the first half by Bradford and he stood upto everything they threw at him and he also did brilliantly for Lee Briers try.

Some on here will be gutted about this but tough luck!!!

How did Bridge do !

McCarthy would've scored too if he hadn't been high tackled under the sticks!

Agreed, he played well. Made quite a few metres and worked hard. as you say, the work he did for the briers try was excellent.

Williams' pass to Briers was forward by a yard

I thought it was a perfect game for yor guys after the epic at Wigan. You didn't get out if 2nd gear, though you didnt need to really. We just didn't get into your faces except Bateman. Was such a flat game. If you upped a couple of gears we would have been destroyed! Have to say Ratchford was superb, he's improved a lot since going to you guys! Good luck rest of season.

People are entitled to opinions on performance, i'm not some god bothering you can not question the faith no matter how strong the evidence is against type.

If he plays well and earns his place in the team i'll support the lad, i'll also support him for the 80 minutes he plays no matter what but if he plays garbage and doesn't warrant a starting shirt in my opinion i'll also say so, i've never made him a scapegoat but i have criticised his performance and in my opinion rightfully so.

I didn't go yesterday so can't comment on his performance so if Rhys played well, well done Rhys and keep it up.

The fact of the matter is most of his performance in a Wire shirt have been average at best and if you can't see that i'm mystified as to how you coach?

Yed thats a bit harsh Bro. You are talking to a fellow Wire

He only came on for the last 20 min, but looked fairly sharp. It will be 3-4 matches before we know if he is back to form I suspect.

Where were you standing ?

If he was anywhere near to the rest of us he won't have seen it at all.
One other little point from yesterday, how long did it take to announce the Bradford team? The guy on the PA must have taken a good ten minutes. By the time he got to the replacements there was no time left and he had to race through them.

Perhaps the 'biscuit's' view was obscured by the perfectly placed tannoy system(I didn't know Robbie Paul could speak Klingon) and his opinion formed by the incessant calls of forwaaaard from the home speccies?

Either way decent result, although I'm not convinced that we had another couple of gears to go through. I thought we looked a little jaded at the warm up, befuddled at the start, picked up in the middle and whether the ease off at the end was totally of our choosing in anticipation of the visit of Bradford's neighbours, or the Wigan game catching up with us I'm not too sure.
.

I was just being direct rather than veiled, i don't rate Williams never have YET [uhope [/uto be proved wrong.
I thought his post was directed at me seeing as i'm the most vocal against Williams.

I'm at a point now in which i've seen brief spells of good Warrington teams but in the main, my life supporting Wire has been watching mediocrity and i'm fed up of it and frankly in the financial situation we are in i think it's safe to say i shouldn't expect it.

I'll never be a happy clapper who supports every player just because they get paid by Wire, if their performances are below par i'll voice that opinion.

I respect Walter, but if he thinks players are beyond criticism then he's not living in the real world.

Thought Monas and Woody had good games but on the whole we looked tired and a bit flat. Our insistence of passing the ball right on the game line (and spilling it) was annoying but we never looked in any trouble. Chris Bridge came on and was promptly penalised for a high shot. Made a couple of good half breaks but that was about it.

Chris also made a try saving tackle on John Bateman around the 60 minute mark. Chris turned Bateman around and put him on his back to save the try
