Warrington Wolves • Re: This week’s disciplinary.

I would probably say that Hill has slowly declined over the years since being given the captaincy, I actually think it burdens his abilities as a player. The amount of penalties he gives way now compared to 3-4 years has most probably increased (without actually checking the averages over a season). And far to often he gets involved with ‘dummy spits’ with referees when something goes against him and sometimes with opposition players. It certainly didn’t go on when he first arrived from Leigh, when he was a lot more no nonsense and he seemed to make a lot of yardage on the back of it.

Ps this isn’t a major dig at Hill, he’s still one of the first players I’d have down on my team sheet..
