GARY Chambers admits his Warrington Wolves side were "clunky" in their golden-point loss at Salford Red Devils on Sunday afternoon.

Having been in winning positions twice in the second half, including in the closing stages thanks to George Williams' try, The Wire were taken into extra time by their play-off rivals after Marc Sneyd's late penalty levelled the scores at 20-20.

Sam Stone then scored a try in the first extra period to secure a crucial win for his side in the race for the top six.

Here is everything Chambers had to say post-match...

Q: Obviously, that’s the worst way to lose a game so what’s the overriding feeling in the dressing room?

GC: They’re shattered and they’re tired.

You get that adrenaline rush when you win in that way so they’re hot, sweaty and tired.

It’s always that way after a defeat but losing in that way makes it a bit more sour.

Q: You seemed to have no problem making yards through the middle of the field throughout the game but where do you feel that game was lost?

GC:  We were clunky and we never really got into our stride.

Last week, we were flowing but we never really got into that flow today.

That’s going to happen at times with what we’re trying to do. We just didn’t hit it today.

Q: Do you take anything from the fact you were still in a position to win the game despite being well below your best?

GC: They certainly scrapped, turned up for each other and kept working.

If there’s anything positive to be taken from that aspect, that’s what we’ll do.

The leaders have got to now lead this group for the next few days. It’s a short turnaround and we’ve got to get ourselves up and ready to go.

Q: It does put pressure on these last two games and there has been a narrative around this team – and the club in general – about them not handling pressure very well.

Can they handle what’s about to come?

Q: They were under pressure when they hadn’t won for eight games, and they came out of the other side of that.

They know all about pressure – that’s without question. They know what they want but sport is never straight-line, it’s always up and down.

Today, they were a bit clunky but we’ll go again on Friday.

Q: Are you worried that there will now be so much focus on these last two games that some of the lads won’t be able to handle it?

GC: They’re professional athletes and us as coaches have got to do our best to get them ready for each game.

They’ve then got to do what they can to prepare as best they can for each game. They’re competing in every game at the moment and I can’t ask for much more of them.

Q: Do you think that was like a play-off game, mentality-wise?

GC: That’s definitely at the back of your mind. Subconsciously, it has to be there now we’re at the back end of the season going into games like that.

We’re on a journey, we’ve picked up a couple of wins and we’re ticking over but the pressure is the same for both teams.

Salford said it was a do or die game for them and there’s pressure that comes with that, but we have to handle that and turn in a performance.

Today, we just couldn’t get into that grind and rhythm.

Q: Do you now have to approach every game as “do or die?”

GC: You’ve got to be smart with it as we don’t want to build pressure up – you get negative energy.

It’s just getting into a flow and doing what you do well. Sometimes with the nature of sport, that doesn’t happen and today was one of those times for us.
