WARRINGTON : Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:46 pm  

Is it just me or is nobody else worried about Warringtons good turn of form

Have they not had something like 8 wins out of 10 and one loss was when Smith was with England.

Are these guys a real threat in the Play offs?

They are the same as HKR and the Giants imo on their day they are a threat but when the play-offs start it's saints and leeds all the way for me.

Tomorrow is their acid test, let's see how they handle that first.

It should be a must win game for them at home.

Aye, finally beating Stains after all this time will really give them some self belief for the end of the season.

I would put them as a far greater threat than HKR and the Giants. They had a bad start to the season, had they not had that they would have been challenging us and Saints very close.

Although I can still see Leeds in the final, I am not so sure with the new structure this year that the certainty of Saints and Leeds is there this year.

They may well prove to be a threat to someone in the play-offs. Can they beat Leeds or Saints at some point? Yes. Can they do it twice in 2 weeks? I doubt it.

Me too, I think Smith has his eye on the cup and is timing their run for that knowing that Leeds and Saints in consecutive weeks is too much to ask at the moment.

smith has got them going. No longer under achieving they are capable of beating anyone on the day. Still missing a player or 2 to be considered real contenders though

Thing is though, with this new structure they might not have to do it twice in 2 weeks.

They are only 3 points from 4th and 4 points from 3rd. If they finish in those positions then the one off game you talked about comes into place. And if they succeed there then they get a week off and an home draw for the next game, which might even be an easier game.

What have they achieved?

Have they beaten Leeds or Saints yet?

Not saying they can't but all they have done so far is go on a good run against average opposition.
