PLAYERS and fans make their point on Friday’s World Club Series clash.

Changing rooms:

Kevin Penny: It was frustrating. We didn’t feel we built the game like we wanted to. We felt we addressed at half time that our D (defence) was probably a little bit soft and not where we wanted it to be. We tried to rectify that in the second half but just probably didn’t build up enough platform with the ball.

Josh Dugan: To come over here and beat Warrington at Warrington is very pleasing. I think there was only about 15,000 but it felt like the Origin capacity of 50,000, so it was a great atmosphere and a great game.

Facebook: Mark Dolan, Brisbane: He (referee) let the dragons get away with slowing the play the ball down and that let them set their line and with the conditions it was impossible to break their line. Very poor kicking game by wires though and best team won. Put silly pressure on ourselves with handling errors.

Mark Giblin: What a game! Great advert for the sport we really mixed it well with them, dint lie down! Gaz obrien pure class! Kev penny looks reborn and the forwards were great! If this game is a benchmark for where we are at...I’m a happy wire tonight!

John Knox: Let’s first say what a great game. Gary wheeler and Kevin penny outstanding. Missed ratchford tbh. Weather didn’t help with knock ons. But Chin up and let’s get two points in perpignan....

Mat Jackson: Think wires should be proud of themselves. I also think the 13000 support was fantastic last night there was great passion.

Steve Rutter: There is still a gulf between super league and nrl, and if we think there isn’t we are kidding ourselves, I thought wire aquited themselves very well and with a little more luck and a stronger referee we could have won. Fair play to st George they must be pleased with their first competive hit up before their season starts.

Twitter: Gary Wheeler (@g4wheeler6): Disappointing not to get the win but great experience for the lads, fans where awesome Ryan Atkins (@rararyan85): Crowd amazing this evening! Love playing at HJ with a full stadium. Fair play to the @NRL_Dragons they came here to play.

Gareth O’Brien (@gazobrien22): Disappointing, head down and work harder. Massive thanks to the fans turned out in huge numbers, really appreciate it.

Ben Currie (@BenoCurrie): Gutted we couldn’t get the win!! Great game tho and really enjoyed it! looking forward to playing the Aussies again!

Simon Grix (@simongrix): Big efforts tonight, sore bodies 2moro!!! We’ll learn from it and move on, another day we play a bit smarter and take the spoils #wire #WCS Ben Harrison (@TopTashHarrison): @bennie_westwood was a absolute colossus tonight. #Outstanding
