not a must win for top 8 - but would be nice to get some more breathing space
top 4 I am going to worry about if we win some of these games this one included that we need to be winning,
the comp is so close and I think a top 8 finish is going to be a massive dog fight - we are at the moment 4 points ahead of the dreaded 9th - we lose Friday we will be back in the dog fight,

I to would play best team available for both this game and Thursdays at home !

Even though Wire played well enough against Catalans, it's got to be said that was one of the worst performances I've seen from Catalans at home. they didn't seem to have a clue, unorganised and defensively really poor. So the win will obviously have done something for Wire as far as points on the board and a bit of confidence but I'm not sure how much it tells us where they are atm.

Still, it's at their place and they've got some gun players but so have we and it would definitely be good to leave there with the 2 points, which if we play too our potential I think we can. We've got some big games ahead of us with Hull, Cas, Leeds & Saints after and I think out of those the key is trying to win as many as we can at home and take what we can away. After this run of games it'll show us where we are tbh.

I think we'll get beat here. I fancy Warrington to get better and better as the season goes on and challenge for the top 4. Looking at their squad there are no real glaring weaknesses except maybe at halfback. It will be a tough and I'm going Warrington because of home advantage. That said, I'm making the journey over for this one and having a night on the sauce in Liverpool.

Yeah, Wire are playing ok, they've had some close losses with Leeds, Sts, Hull, and they beat jetlagged wigan, so they are there or there abouts some kind of form.
The team sheet is full of respected players, can't take anything for granted, if they get a few ducks in a row they'll be tough to get the better of.
Its a winnable game but I think its has to be a close grind out defense job for a wakey win away from home.
We went there last season when they were nowhere and lost by 2, they're better this season and we're playing a different game so anything could happen tbh.

I know the saying is bookies don’t often get it wrong, but giving you guys 8 on the handicap is a bit strong imo, I’m sure it’s a lot closer than that, I’d have had this at scratch at least.

If we were at home 8 would be about right imo but at your place, I probably agree it's a toss-up.

I can't see a win here tbh but it is still possible. So long as we perform I'm happy.

Note to Belly. Warrington unlike Widnes DO have some exceptional players

Re: Warrington up next : Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:22 am  

Anyone going to the game? I'm looking for a decent pub to go to before the game but can't find one close to the ground. Anyone got any tips?

Happy to meet up for a swifty if anyones free?
