I couldn't make the game last night due work, but can anyone add an honest review of the game, positives and negatives.

Wire had a strong side out for the first hour of the match, and were much too good for us. Although looking at the big screen they had up, on the replay it looked as though their winger had dropped the ball over the line trying to score, for their first try
On one of our rare spells on their line , we got a good pass out to Flynn , who just had to catch the ball to score, unfortunately he somehow dropped it.

Our tackling was bad, especially Fleming , but he wasn’t on his own.

When they took about 4/5 first teamers off after about an hour, the game was more even. 

Hope London’s new players aren’t as good as warringtons, or they  aren’t match fit, and not used to playing with each other, as I don’t think they have played a pre season match , otherwise it’s going to be a big defeat to start the season.

They made 10 changes at half-time, so it was a young team for whole of second half - only ones that remained from first half were Irwin, Thomas and Max Wood.
