Agree, we’re showing all the signs of a playoff team at the moment, games won’t always be perfect and go your way but if you can still win those that’s huge. Credit to wire second half they played well. They’ve some good players. We deserved the win though overall we were better team. Tetevano and Martin were really good as were our halves. We were a bit flat defensively at times but on our goal line we were great.

Onwards and upwards.

Also what’s up with Fusitua?

Fusitua was banned for 2 .back for hudds

Thought the halves were pretty good in the first half, but that changed when O’Connor went off and Dywer came on. He just can't resist trying to do it all by himself. Tremendous effort to hang on and get the win though.

That's exactly it with Dwyer.
Every play is last resort, desperation stuff.
When it comes off it looks great.
But more often than not, we need control from DH and he simply doesn't bring that.
He's perfect for a team who are usually behind in games and desperate for points.
Like Hull or Wire for example.....

I agree the halves were better in the first half but didn’t get a grip in the second. Penalties given away, handling errors, forward passes were non-stop.

Someone should have been laying the law down to stress the need to finish sets.

I thought Wire showed plenty of effort for Powell tonight and 24-6 at half time flattered us a bit.

Matt prior is worrying be more than Dwyer at the moment.

Given the pressure we faced, a lot of it self inflicted, we showed a lot of faith in keeping our defensive line straight and great spirit.

Share your concern about Prior. I don’t think he’s out of form, he just looks like he's already played for a year too long.

Not his fault but Prior should never have been given two years - should have been one year at a time. He'll be 36 early next season, and while you can't predict exactly when age catches up with players it does everyone eventually and the drop-off can be pretty quick.

Thought the ref kept Wire in the game second half missing a few forward passes and giving them the 50/50`s.
Let`s hope Prior does the honourable thing and decides he`s stealing a living.
Dumb I know if he does especially with a young family.
Do we think Austin or Bentley might cop a ban?

I think I know what you are trying to say about Prior, but I hate the phrase "steal a living". These are Rugby League players after all. Physical suffering on a weekly basis is a given. They earn their money, which is a pittance in the wider world of professional sport.

It`s a saying often used to describe someone who isn`t performing and in his case on a pretty decent salary.
Probably a bit harsh to say he`s stealing a living but not really sure what else to articulate it.
Maybe past his sell by date?
But we cannot afford to carry players unfortunately and if he does do the honourable thing then good luck to him.
His last 2 seasons have been below his standards for sure.
