So many positives. Could have done with just a little more luck.
Tom Holroyd gifting Warrington another set on our goal line after jumping out in front of the referee was pretty criminal. Keep our heads there and we might have seen them out. Instead they score on the next set. I don't want to overreact to an individual mistake, but in the wider context of his recent performances he needs to improve his discipline a lot faster otherwise he's out of the side when the likes of Cam Smith is fit, IMO.
Lisone has become the new scapegoat I see. Well, aside from him knocking on at the PTB (which wasn't clearly a knock on to me), I don't think he was bad against Warrington. I agree he's one of our least effective forwards and shouldn't be retained on past and current form. But let's not get carried away.
From what I can tell from the disciplinary notes Palaasia isn't even mentioned. Dufty and Vaughan are the only players named from the Wire game. Not sure if that means sin binning was sufficient or that he has been found blameless?

Means there was absolutely nothing with it. As everyone with eyes already knew
The initial reaction of the Sky commentators was that it was a good legal hit.
On the slow motion replay Palasia's head is impacted first. I don't know if this is significant but it suggests it's a little more complicated than Palasia being a straightforward aggressor.
In the aftermath of the tackle I thought the referee might have awarded us something because of Fitzgibbon looking for 'afters'.

What's frustrating for me is how well we played, to come up with nothing... Oh well, if they keep it up we should be able to see more wins in due course. You never know with Leeds though.
