The flip side I think Wire got things wrong. Sandow earlier? Dwyer on the interchange?

Massive error not to play Dwyer.

Wire are a contradiction; so much is right but so much is equally wrong too. If all goes well they will destroy you but make them gring a win and they become brittle, they forget what made them strong and make mistakes under pressure. Wire are the epitomy of why British RL has been chasing the tails of the NRL for 30+ years.

The GF was Wires to lose and they bottled it when they found a XVII in WIgan who had buckets of courage and determination.

We won what counts but that was the worst performance since Flower got sent off at Wire. Neither Lockers or Flower offered anything over our previous performances.
If this is Sean's final appearance as a player then i'm happy he played if not Bretherton & Sharocks shouldn't of been dropped.

BORING - You got it wrong re Flower blowing this game he played ok as well as FPN or TT.

Seems you would have been happier if we lost with Flower and SOL than winning.

I think JF is correct re the risk but so was Lockers. I disagree though re Flower last night. I thought he was very good.

He was the 2nd best prop on the pitch not too far behind Crosby his defence is about the best in SL for a prop. I know Lockers was a gamble but it worked.

Mentioned it twice Shorrocks fault for 2 tries last week with a prop on the diagonal. Hull have decent props but if they could do that what would Simms and especially Hill do.

That's a bit of a jump there gimble, why would I of been happy since Lockers is by far and away my favourite player. Saying neither of them had an positive impact is my opinion, if you can't handle it then tough.

After re-watching the game i have decided to now give Lockers a 6 out of 10 instead, some good steadying play but nothing amazing and certainly nothing world class like some fans are saying
