[Man of Kent]

Knowing me, knowing you. Yaha!

[Man of Kent]

24-16 Wire on 61

[Cheshire Setter]

Tomkins Snr has been a bit of a s**t in this match. Although ironically it has actually helped the Cats.

Another good try, Yaha this time. Thought we could have had a player binned for pulling back in the break 

Just remembering Yaha when he first played for the Catalans. Handling and positioning were all over the place. He's matured as a player.

[Cheshire Setter]

Warrington letting Cats back into this. Need to up their focus.

[Cheshire Setter]

Thought Tomkins was in there. Good scrambling.

Think that might be a bit of unconscious bias.

Maybe, although I'd also probably say folau is shading it, Israel has got outside him a couple of times in the first half, but king got the break to start the ashton try while folau was lay on the floor in the back play, he then ran back to the wing

What was wrong with that ptb from Austin...looked like a lot of the rest

[Cheshire Setter]

Great tackle by wee Tomkins. Great handling before hand though by Warrington.

Samkins was completely invisible inside a ball of tacklers. Good defensive attitude.

[Cheshire Setter]

Maloney to Warrington players - “catch a kick for a smack in the chops, sir?”. Twice now...

It was correct to award a penalty. Austin was trying to make it look like interference instead of judging playing the ball. More of these types of penalties are required to stop this type of milking/ play-acting

[Hughsehhh]

Shaun Maloney, the new enforcer. Head shots everywhere

If thats bmm, or hill, its card time.

[Cheshire Setter]

Hill out for the count due to the anxiety of possibly having to run all the way to the line.

[Futtocks]

A bit of friendly fire as a reward for Hill's break.

Joel Tomkins. Thick as mince. 

My my he's a lazy lump too. Pinching money.

Maloney's effort looked more accidental while making contact than Joelkins' missed attempt.

[Futtocks]

Tom Davies cleaning up yet again.

[DavidM]

Superbly superb defence from wire there 

[Dave T]

Still a very high standard after 70 mins. Really pleased with our scrambling defence but still time for Catalans here. 

[Cheshire Setter]

 Outstanding from Warrington. Like a different team from pre-COVID.

[Cheshire Setter]

Anyone else having flashbacks to the mid-2000s?

[DavidM]

Wire definitely in the grand final this year .
