Positives:



Chris Hill, Chris Riley, Steffan Ratchford in spells + our goaline defence in the main which looked strong, obviously a couple of individual errors cost us..



Negatives:



Too many to mention, lets just say when we don't have Michael Monaghan we seem to lack direction and organisation. Richie Myler seriously needs to up his game especially against the stronger sides, when Lee Briers isn't quite on his game we need Myler to be asking some questions instead of standing back and hoping someone else can do it.

I thought there were a few positives to last night's game.



Firstly, Leeds had enough possession to win that game by 30+, but our defence was once again, excellent for large parts of the game. We also looked like scoring almost every time we were near the Leeds line (unfortunately, not too often)! Chris Hill was once again excellent and I think he's got a really bright future.



We have, however, been giving away far too much possession to teams this season. I also thought the last tackle options were fairly poor last night. Leeds did a great job on closing down Briers and Myler had a poor game. Still, that should improve when Monaghan and Hodgson come back into the team.

The old winger conundrum again......Seems to me that most wingers can't win with whatever they do.



Kevin Penny, major threat with ball in hand, dire in defence.....Joel Monas, steady and reliable, though limited threat in attack, sound defensively.



What do you do??....A combination of the two would be the perfect Rugby League winger, unfortunately, the world isn't perfect.



Personally, I think Joel has a touch of the Fa'Filli's in him.....He needs a top class centre to make him look better - Blythe, though a good, reliable player, isn't a winger's centre, he's the battering ram type, who will only throw desparate passes to his outside partner and that showed last night.



Joel looks better outside Bridge, though even he isn't upto Gleeson's class, who made Henry look positively decent.....If Bridge isn't there, and you want to make Joel a threat, I think he needs Rhys Evans next to him, rather than Blythe.

1- Goal line defence

2- Hill

3-Always looked like scoring

4-Ratchford

positive for me was despite not playing well we were alwaysin the game until late on..and quite clearly the scoreline flattered leeds...just wait till we start to click someone will cop for it

Juan Sebastian Veron was a talent who cost a lot of money but it didn't stop Fergie getting rid when he didn't perform.

Let me think????



Last season didn't we beat Leeds twice in the league ..... and it didn't stop them going to win the GF



They didn't give in



When will we stop having a dig. We are now in a position where we know on any given day we can compete and beat the likes of Wigan Saints and Leeds and they can do the same to us



What we need to do is win the right matches

Okay, so we have established that WArrington Wolves is about as valuable and recognisable as Manchester United. However how do you combat the bit about Myler being young and talented???

20 odd handling errors, plenty of players out and we lost to a Champion team by 8.



That's a big positive for me.

Veron was a pile of e, end of. Just ask Chelsea, too.



Myler is a great player, who "fluffed-up" a simple clearance

To want to get rid of him (as an earlier poster does) is just plainly pathetic.



As I said previously,......only in Warrington

Getting rid of Veron was a mistake IMO.



Veron wasn't a total flop he was more like Paul Rauhihi was for Warrington. Not overall what we had hoped but when you look at his full record he didn't do badly and he had some big games.



Fergie had seemed to have a lot of faith in Veron when he was at United, the reasons he gave for moving him on were that Chelsea had offered good money and he was worried about having too many central midfielders on the books, he had brought in Djemba Djemba and Kleberson and was looking at those two plus Fletcher as being the United central midfield for the future.



Unfortunately Djemba Djemba and Kleberson turned out to be crap for United and Scholes had injury problems and Keane was at the end of his career so United then spent the next three seasons in the shadow of Arsenal and Chelsea with a weak central midfield before Fletcher matured and Carrick and Hargreaves were brought in.

Saints Lost

Wigan Lost

Liverpool Lost

Only thing missing was a Wire win.

Too much trying to score on every set. Hold the ball and control the game. I would like to see O'Brien with Briers for a few games to see if there is more of a spark than there is with Myler. Theres just something about Myler that niggles me. Having the pair in the 17 every week maybe nudge that we need.
