Thought some of the Warry players were looking their age. Would like to see them win the GF but think the winner will come from tomorrow's game

His swinging arm aside, I thought Dale Ferguson played great tonight. Always took 3+ defenders to bring him down, he won the penalty that led to him scoring a great try, and he looked very dangerous in a bit of space, drawing defenders well before spinning passes and offloads out wide.

I thought he had great feet for his try, looking at the defensive line, he was 2nd best to get there, but his footwork was pretty impressive. He has a bit of 'grunt' in him aswell!

It's all ways there year goes to show that been the most consistent team in regular season does not guarantee you success and for the third year in a row the team that has finished top has failed to make the final, hoping Wigan can beat Leeds tomorrow but I don't see it happening.

Thought Carvell ran very strong tonight,looking forest to seeing him next year.Always impressed with Ferguson

Was a great game tonight, but I'm glad Warrington won.

Well played Huddersfield though, look a good, young, English team.

The new Bulls recruits looked good tonight, Carvell and Ferguson had solid games. Was nice to see Kopout playing poor, got bossed about by the Warrington defenders!

Hudds are another team full of great palyers who appear to have an inability to spin the ball along the back line at speed. Leeds are the same. Only WIgan that I can think of do it regularly & impressivley, with numerous options of dummy runners. The others just seem to pass for the sake of it, hoping a 3/4 will step his opposite number & power through.

I thought Ratchford linked the play well yesterday, the 3rd (I think) Warrington try was very pleasing on the eye. Briers ball through the middle of 2 dummy runners was superb. I think Ratchford was standing behind the ptb originally, great movement. Huddersfield always looks susceptible when Warraington worked the overlap.

I agree, they both played well I thought. It shows the improvement in our recruitment when we sign two good performers from the playoff semis, who their respective fans would rather keep (money and all things begin equal).

And as Carvell is a confirmed Bull for next year I'd like him and therefore wire to win the final as opposed to Leeds or Wigan.

Both of Monaghan's tries were from superb handling (especially from Bridge who has been poor of late), but that was almost from set moves near the line designed to create the gap for the winger. I was meaning more from much deeper on the pitch, where the ball sweeps from one side to the other at high speed with numerous options. Apart from Charnely & Tomkins I think Wigan's back line is extremely average with very little true pace, but they look dangerous every time they do it.

I think they're both exceptional players for a club in our position. If we want to progress they are exactly what we need and Franny Cummins should be commended for convincing them to sign on the dotted.
