I assumed it was a mistake about Richie Myler but apparently he played with an elbow protector on. Fantastic news.

oNly a friendly but to beat an Aussie team in Australiua is fantastic and will shut certain people up. The NRL is still a way higher comp standard wise compared to the SL as the weaker teams are way better than the likes of Salford, Wakey, London etc. Warrington have come on leaps and bounds and it does help having a money man behind you. But the challenge for Wire is to get to a GF and win it.

Yep having a money behind you is great, we've nearly lost our club  in three different decades, it's been hard being a Wire fan
Simon Moran has indeed saved the club and I'll always be greatful to him. Like mny thousands of other Warrington fans.

The main difference with Warringtons money man he's been a Warrington fan all his life and wants Warrington to be successful
He's got the most expensive season ticket.
Going down under is too build our future, build a brand and increase our media exposure.

Wigan are the biggest brand in Super League, all the rest are playing catch up, Simon Moran is playing his part for his club to make us look more appealing to the mass market of fans and sponsors alike.

Looks like Wires were keeping Mylers return low key

Does this mean that Solomona will be fit to play against Hull FC? Looks like Warrington are taking the Blue Peter approach to rehabilitation - bit of strapping and sticky back plastic and they'll be reet. Never like to see good players miss time on the pitch, but it always concerns me about short turnarounds on injury recovery. I've seen too many examples of long term consequences of pushing the body too quickly back into a physically intense environment. Hope Warrington's conditioners, physios and Myler himself aren't taking chances and it's just that the injury wasn't as severe as first thought.

I really enjoyed the game, the Wolves started on fire then let the Rabbits back into until the class of Ratchford told in the end.

First pics are emerging on the Warrington Guardian website HERE

Nice shot of Matt King tackling new boy Trent Waterhouse, but just what is it with Wire and kit clashes?


edit - some great shots HERE and on RL fans too

It does concern me when players recover so quick
Myler was a doubt until March, this is 5 weeks early
Good to have him back, but he's got some real stiff competition now with ratchford and o'b
All good for Wires

[1976PMJwires]

Just read on another site Warrington only had one overseas player playing

I wish that could be every match, maybe in time with the kids coming through we could be overseas free club, doubt it would ever happen, o well I can dream.

See my post on page 2 I think re how the game would go. The full team stuffs them and the fringe players peg them back. It's exactly the same as the Rhinos game against them and shows the depth of an average NRL team compared to a good SL team.

[Maximus Decimus]

Does anybody know the details of this match? For instance Wire went 24-0 up and in a pre-season friendly this might be a good time to bring some of the fringe players on and rest your key players.

If this didn't happen then I wouldn't say it was a great result for the Wire if Souths put out a reserve side. Many Aussies seem to think this was a great result for Souths who are a mid table NRL side and very early into pre-season.

The reality is that it probably tells us very little. Wire raced into a lead and Souths came back presumably when Wire took their foot off the gas. When they needed to go back to an extra level they did but only just.

Looking at the team sheet it would appear that Warrington have beat South's U20's side sprinkled with a few first grade NRL players.

The young Souths halfback Adam Reynolds got the MOM.

[The Orford Postman]

Wire didnt have 2 world class players the Monaghan brothers, and Hodgson so both teams were under strength.

[Didgi]

From the scoreboard and what I've read both teams started the strongest possible from squads named, Warrington blew them away before taking their foot off the gas, trying new combinations, subs etc where the Rabbitohs started coming back. The experience got Warrington home.

[Odsal Outlaw]

There'a review of the match at the below link, sounds quite positive for Wire.  Regardless of sides put out I think Wire have done a credit to the british game with the victory.

I wonder if the Warrington victory will get much publicity in Australia, and make the point that English Super League teams can compete with NRL teams.

Do you really need to ask that?  Souths Juniors narrowly lose to full strength Warrington.

I'd assume you mean souths' man of the match and even then he was nowhere near their best.
As for the best players on the pitch, that's between Carvell, Ratchford & Grix
