Disappointing of course but after a loss at least nowadays there's a foundation to build on, and I think if we do this a little bit better or this goes our way we'd have won. Whereas before, I was watching us lose and thinking, I don't even know where we go from here. I don't understand how we're even attempting to build a consistent team. Now it's very obvious, defence and pack is solid for the most part. If the attack gets a bit better, we'll win quite a few.
Also, we're certainly not missing Frawley or Ackers, keep them far away from the squad. I can't watch anymore of Frawley's kicks that remind me of pre-match warm-ups for the backs.
Another positive performance, pack again held their own against a pack we've struggled against in the past. Defence great in the first half, really pinned them back in their own half.
Attack showed positive signs, Hall's try especially, lots of bodys in motion, something we havent seen for a while. Still lots to work on though.
Ref was pretty poor for both teams, such a soft yellow.
So many positives. Could have done with just a little more luck.
Tom Holroyd gifting Warrington another set on our goal line after jumping out in front of the referee was pretty criminal. Keep our heads there and we might have seen them out. Instead they score on the next set. I don't want to overreact to an individual mistake, but in the wider context of his recent performances he needs to improve his discipline a lot faster otherwise he's out of the side when the likes of Cam Smith is fit, IMO.
Lisone has become the new scapegoat I see. Well, aside from him knocking on at the PTB (which wasn't clearly a knock on to me), I don't think he was bad against Warrington. I agree he's one of our least effective forwards and shouldn't be retained on past and current form. But let's not get carried away.
