Delaney was excellent. He has a good burst of speed off the mark and makes ground on every carry. Lees needs to find that form more often. He stood up when Walmsley was missing last season and again tonight, so he can make ground with the ball but seems to leave it to others when Walmsley and Paasi are in the side.
As for Wire, it’s been a sobering 2 weeks. I look back to that Catalans game and maybe people should’ve seen it coming. They played a vastly weakened Catalans team that day, including a number of French juniors and were fortunate to get the 2 points. The reaction at the end of that game felt OTT for what realistically was a poor performance.
They were crap against Salford too and very lucky to win that game due to some dubious refereeing.
Realistically I don't think they've looked too good all season. Their defence has looked soft every time I've watched them play. Obviously their attack is really good when they are all on form, but I don't think they're well set up to win big knockout games. They've had the benefit of a relatively "easy" start to the season and have rode a bit of luck and think they've been found out a bit now. Still expect them to finish in the top 4 comfortably, but I really don't see them doing much in the play offs. Think its largely going to be down to us, you and if Catalan can sneak a top 2 finish and get a home semi, them too.
