Warrington Squad is as strong as it could be:

If we are going to win we will deserve it beating that team.
Though there is some speculation that as Declan Patton has been named, there must be some doubt over either Ratchford, Sandow or Gidley

Patton, along with Kevin Penny, is playing for their reserves tonight so i think we can rule that one out.

I rate Jack Hughes, very athletic backrower - don't know much about the two King brothers though.

George has played quite a bit this year from subs bench and is a solid - but not lead - prop.
However he's only 21 and his performances are impressive for his age.

Toby (19,20 I think) played really well last year in a few games. He's played a couple of games so far this year but needs game time.

I'd like Penny to be outside Atkins on the left wing and Russell outside Evans on the right but I think Evans will be on the right wing and King right centre with Russell at left wing and Penny dropping out.
I really want Penny to play though - out and out speed.

That's how I see him going. I think he'll go with Yates over Jordan just for his experience and the fact he's a Prop and we need as much go forward as we can get on the field.

Typical of our luck that Wire manage to get a virtually full strength squad out, just as we lose a load to injury.

Tough ask - but still good to be involved.

How many times do you think that will be mentioned in the commentary - iI'll go for zero.

However should Warrington have a last minute injury I guarantee they will be crippled by injury which will be mentioned every five munutes.

Correct. I actually think it's a shame we finished in 8th spot as 6th for me was far more representative of the efforts and skills on display this season.

That said I was one of the few loonies who publicaly stated we could finish 8th if we were incredibly lucky so as you say they are already winners.

As for tomorrow I suppose if Warrington turn up without the required team spirit we have a chance, problem is that if they do we probably don't

Looks to be a bit of a passenger at times. Just my opinion when watching Wire on telly. Maybe he saves his best for non televised games?

We look at our worst when Hughes isn't in the back row. Overall when we have our first choice 8-13 out we have probably one of the most athletic and mobile packs in the league. Currie and Hughes in the second row especially. Both solid and both will put 80 minutes in. Absolute machines.

As a neutral fan, when watching teams I like (eg Saints and Wire) guys who make the team look weak seem to stand out.

Conversely when watching Wigan and Cas everybody look like world beaters
