Its from cricket, its when a batsman scores heavy on flat pitches, but struggles in other conditions.

I think its more difficult in the forwards, look at max wood he is 22 and probably won't start hitting the right levels for a couple of years. Smith looks a decent sized backbone.

Looks like CTW will actually play this week, interesting to see if he recovers his early season form. If the young forwards added to replace Bentley (hia) and Tanginoa actually play it will bring the average age even lower.

As a Warrington fan we have not yet the level were glory hunters find us a viable option.

Most fans look for easiest reason why they lost. A decent coach and players would look at what they did and can improve on. The ref made what looked like debatable decisions but from a Warrington point of view ( I will let Leigh fans comment on leigh) we dropped ball had a low completion rate and allowed themselves to be penalised by not being squeaky clean. If you rectify all those areas then look at the uncontrollable side of the game the officials.

Your reply an excuse a 10yr old will make is sad. I will refrain from commenting on your posts in future I am too old to go down that avenue .

Regardless of who you support, you only quoted that Warrington were guilty, when both sets of players were at it. I hope that clears what I am going on about.

Its amazing how fans only see what happens when the opposition do it. There was plenty going on in the tackle on both sides, but my one image i won't forget is when Horne tackled 19yr old Webster ( it was a good tackle) and felt the need to spray the 19yr old FB, class act from Horne ,no wonder he fits in well at leigh sports village.

How listen to Lord Derby. It been recorded on BBC.

Not a wigan or Saints fan but its true, they were workers on the Lord Derby estate ( which now includes Knowsley Safari park), I regularly take coaches around the Safari park and its common knowledge, to say its made upis simply not true.

I understand your views but the ban can only reflect the actual incidents ( and carry over) not whats best.

I think the ban is about right, he's still a talent but his temperament isn't helped with the drop of the standard of HKR this season, there is a level of frustration in the team. I have seen worse incidents treated lightly this season by the MRP. Maybe he needs to look at the Warrington youngsters Irwin and Webster who just get on with the game even when illegally hit.

Possible 4 players back for Warrington, CTW, King,Sipley and Philbin. If all materialise it evens things up. So could be more even than people think.

Feel sorry for him, I like Powell he has an experienced manner wires sometimes need, but that was a terrible tackle and 3 matches sums up the RFL policy on players welfare.

What about player welfare, cost them more when they miss matches through injury.
