SATURDAY'S match between Warrington and Wakefield is the sort of match that the organisers of Super League want rid of - one sided, uncompetitive blow outs.

After the horrors of the last four games though it was a welcome change for Wire players and fans.

Wire had a youthful look about them with all eyes on Declan Patton to see if he could be the saviour of the season and ride in on his white horse and be the half back that fans are obsessed with having.

Judging him on this performance would be a bit like judging an Olympic athlete in a school sports day, but there were plenty of encouraging signs from his debut.

His kicking game close to the line, the way he was barking out instructions to players around him, his decision making and passing especially close to the line and how comfortable and easy it looked for him to have the ball in his hand were all definite plus points.

It was a couple of other young players on the same side of the field who stole the show a little bit though.

Ben Currie looked to revel in being a role model for players with less first team experience than him and he looked exceptional throughout, as did Toby King, making one of his first appearances in Super League.

Both of them look a similar type of player,with pacey evasive running, more than decent hands and stronger in the tackle than perhaps their frame would suggest.

Wakefield didn’t look overly interested from the start and as soon as Wire got around eighteen points up around the half hour mark the whole Wildcats team looked like they were playing a game of ‘anywhere but here’ in their heads and the eighty points that materialised looked a distinct possibility from then on.

As with any match like this, forwards seem to start running onto the ball harder, support play seems to get better, quality of offloads improves, everybody wants the ball and confidence looks sky high.

In the previous Monday’s loss to Castleford confidence had looked particularly low as it appeared Wire were trying to grind out a win by playing conservatively down the middle. So maybe this fourteen try feast came at just the right time.

What will almost certainly be the easiest game this season is to be followed by what might well be the two toughest games, at Wigan then Leeds.

Hopefully the same players will be given a chance to show us how good they really are.
