2023 could be their year.

Got something to discuss about RL in general? Then this is the place to post it.

Whilst Wire were impressive and Leeds hopeless what was good was the way Wire sub'd their front row. Along with Bullock and Kasiano they brought on Danny Walker. He changed the way they attacked and Leeds couldn't cope. Wire knew what Walker would bring, he played well and scored a good try.

Perhaps we'll go back to two 9s in a game. O'Neil coming on would change our attack which is what Walker did. Our bringing on two props but staying with Powell and things stay much the same and our opposition know it. Hardly a new idea but it worked for Wire and took the score from 18-0 to 30-0 and ended the game as a contest. Maybe something we could look at?
Not disagreeing with you in regards to changing things up,to me O’Neill is a similar sort of player to Powell would he make the sort of killer difference I’m not so sure,now if young Forber was on the bench…

Greg inglis..why? Abject stupidity to sign a player long since retired through injury that's the type of club Powell walked into it was always going to be root and branch the rebuild needed there.

Last night was a start they where enjoyable to watch,proved Leeds are still choc fully of journeymen who knows it might take this season as well but it's clear Warrington have backed Powell to the hilt and credit to them for that.
Williams has always been a class act, we missed a trick but we move on. Good performance from Wire, but one swallow doesn’t make a summer. There three quarters are average, let’s see how the season unfolds, I don’t expect them to make the big dance. Leeds were very poor.

I think we need to take a leaf out of their book as our forward pack after this season needs an overhaul. Hopefully we can bring in quality forwards like Maguire and Vaughan. The likes of singleton, isa, Powell, Cooper, Mago and Ellis need to be moved on. Also Farrell not getting any younger and we are losing KPP as well.

Why would we want to bring in a bunch of forwards who are 30+ years of age? The future is in youth.

The tactics were irrelevant, Leeds defence was awful.
