Its hard to talk about this match without mentioning the disgraceful scenes in the stands and on the pitch but we have covered that elsewhere and want to talk about the match.
It was a decent game for the most part with no quarter asked or given and despite the heat and the fact both sides have seen more than enough of each other over the last year, it was (as coach Steve McNamara said in his press conference) the right result with the right team winning.
It was a positive to see Matt Whitley back and scoring tries along with Tony Gigot scoring an un Gigot like touchdown by bulldozing the line. I only hope his more positive body language is a pre-cursor to better form and maybe a signature on the contract he has yet to approve.
Greg Bird was back and starting to enjoy his swansong, along with Sam Tomkins whose goal kicking was impecable.
Warrington weren't there to make up the numbers and in other circumstances this would have been seen as a really good win.
However the losses in terms of players to injury (Yaha) and supsension (most of the others) means this could well be the last 2 points of the Dragons season and that we will be on the receiving end of another hammering at Leeds this week.
