Warrington head coach Sam Burgess speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside:
“They are a great side but I thought the first half scoreline didn’t really reflect the game. They won three moments in breaking us down – it was a couple of kicked tries and a missed tackle.
“We did look clunky and I can accept that but they made us pay in the second half when they were by far the better side and when they get in a mood like that they are very hard to handle.
“I am quite happy they didn’t get past 50. At a point in the second half everything was sticking, they were winning everything and every offload was going to hand and there was a point where I thought it could be very dangerous.
“So obviously I wasn’t happy with 34 points but I was happy we strangled the game back.
“We had a tough night and they made us pay. We looked like a young team against a very experienced team but I’m relaxed about that. We were the second best team but it is not often I’ve said that all year.”
Leeds Rhinos head coach Brad Arthur speaking to BBC Radio Leeds:
“I like the fact that the team is becoming very reliable. The boys can look around the dressing sheds and know what they are going to get which is a big thing to build a bit of belief.
“We have had to focus over the last few weeks about being a bit more professional in our away performances and again I felt that we were getting closer to that tonight.
“I thought our resilience was good and a step in the right direction and lastly I thought our starting middles were physically very very good tonight.
“I am so pleased for Maika (Sivo). He is such a likeable person. He has worked really hard on his weight – keeping it manageable around the 109 kilos mark.
“He hasn’t got an ounce of fat on him but he is a big man and the leaner he can be the more we can get out of him and he’s worked really hard on that.”
