As I intimated, he sometimes has that in him. Shame as he's a great player otherwise.

He's always had it in him tbf, the problem at the moment is we aren't getting too many of the benefits that cancel out his errors.

His goalkicking has been terrific of late (he said, desperately searching for summat)

[Old Frightful]

Ouch!

Accidental head clash, Ashton will have to go off I would have thought.

[Old Frightful]

Kasiano should stick to barging up the middle rather than trying out ball distribution.

Wire try for me.

[Old Frightful]

NO TRY!

[Ullman]

Bloody hell how close was that? Thought it was a try all day at normal speed.

Lovely kick by Dufty though.

[Old Frightful]

In spite of the errors, I enjoyed that, should be a cracking second half, Reds 6 in front but I still think Wire will win.

I knew straight away it wasn't a try...

Very scruffy for much of the game so far but entertaining none the less.

Ratchford needs benching 

Ratchford needs to retire, been a good un,  now the guy in the big black cloak and holding a sickle is looking over his shoulder.

We're not doing anything that we did last week, no attack up the middle no link play to outwide.

 

Salford are defending us well on the edges but we're making it easy for them to defend

[Just Browny]

One of those fast games you get thanks to the six again rule.

Salford seem to be able to get more ruck speed than us.

I know that last Warrington try was technically correct in being chalked off....but it does seem very harsh.

Even as a Wire fan I don't think we should be awarding tries where our players are early in touch.

Betcha they don't, and they have shown nothing to say they will, no disrespect Rob but the Wire resurgence has come against 2 very bad teams in your lot and Cas, Salford giving them to much to think about in which they dont seem capable of combating.

Saying that I will probably be wrong, but this is Salford's game to lose for me, by daft the better team with ball in hand.

[Dave T]

I'm surprised the pundits feel that Wire would go onto win. I've not seen enough in that first half tbh from us. I don't know whether it is tactical to play within ourselves in the hot conditions until later. 

Next try crucial.

Theres another thread going on, re international players, but of the 3 times when Wire had an overlap Williams chose to kick.

Grim statement that.

Yeah I understand it's the correct call - and I aren't a Wire fan - it does just seem harsh sometimes. Especially when it would probably have been given on a non TV match.

Aye, it definitely would have been given, and then photos would have been shown and we'd call for video refs at every game.

Incorrectly given.

Can't see where you're coming from tbh but each to their own.

Next try presented on a plate.

[Dave T]

Another one gifted to us there!

First half quote..."Sio makes it look so easy" when he caught a high bomb.
