Superb game. Had me as a neutral on the edge of my seat from the first minute to the last. Despite Leeds moving into what seemed a comfortable early lead, Wire had almost all of the game. At 12-4 down the stat came on the screen that Wire had spent 11 minutes in Leeds half, with Leeds having spent 4 in Warringtons. It was like that for the entire game, Warrington were superb.
The man who made the difference tonight was Lee Briers. For Leeds their supposidly creative trio of Burrow, McGuire and Sinfield showed themselves up as the one dimensional players they are. Burrow and McGuire are an extremely poor combo at halves. Sure they have the pace, step and support work to create one try per game through someone missing one of them, they cannot even begin to control a game like Briers did tonight. Bossed from the 1st minute to the last. Sinfield showed once again that he goes missing when it gets tough and why he should never be allowed near a GB shirt, even with Sculthorpe gone.
Well done Wire, come on Salford tomorrow!
