We just couldn\u2019t post enough points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say we gave away a couple of cheap points early and we should have been better in those moments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve just got to tidy a couple of things up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second-half completion rate was 56 percent, so I think you can put it down to scoreboard pressure (they trailed 16-6 at half-time).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they lost a man (Josh Charnley) to the bin, there were five penalties conceded against us directly after it, and obviously we conceded Leon (Hayes) in the bin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo obviously that period we didn\u2019t manage as best we could. If we had our time again, we could manage that a little bit better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Burgess also insisted he will not change Warrington\u2019s style, but refine their current one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have our game model that we like to stick to,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s (about) individually getting our jobs done in the moments and then being disciplined with it as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur game model is our game model. We just need to execute that with a bit more intensity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAM BURGESS says his Warrington Wolves team need to work on their game management after a 28-12 defeat&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":824158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-824157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=824157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/824158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=824157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=824157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=824157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
