Warrington Wolves • Josh Drinkwater

Barrie McDermott said he ‘didn’t know’ who their leader would be, and that in truth proved the case. The business of singling players out isn’t one we enjoy, but Josh Drinkwater in particular – as one of the experienced heads in the Wolves pack – was poor in his play and his attitude throughout.


At times, he appeared more interested in berating referee Jack Smith over decisions than getting it right with the ball in hand, and we’re sure that’ll be flagged in the review tomorrow morning.

Youth shines through in both camps
In contrast, we wanted to highlight the impressive performance of Warrington youngster Leon Hayes, making just a third senior appearance and his first of the year.

The 19-year-old was drafted in by interim boss Chambers, and standing at 5 feet 3 inches, you wondered how he’d fare against such a physically dominant Saints side. A really good kicking game and some weaving drives proved any doubters wrong, one for the future.


Well I never, even the EXPERTS have realised it after 26 rounds!
Cheers Baza.
