It looks like he will finish the season at Thunder. If that's what Smith thinks is best then I trust that. You can probably learn a lot from a relegation fight.

Balmforth is at scrumhalf today. Hope he does well.

Dufty having a good game for wire .

Re: Warrington next : Sun Aug 20, 2023 2:54 pm  

I wonder if Brian Smith will be at the game as he was seen at the Leigh game yesterday .

Wow, he wins it for Wire if he takes that ball, last play of the game.

@DCravenRL
FT: Leeds 24 Warrington 22: Wow. 15 seconds left. Rathford dinks in a hopeful grubber inside and Dufty only needs to gather it to win it. But he spills. He'd just broken through two minutes ago as well only to pass inside to Newman. Wire blown that big time. Leeds not fussed.

We drop below Leeds but not a bad result for us. Big games coming up against these two neither of whom should have us worried. A real chance to put ourselves in the mix.

Reckon Wire win would have been a better result.
Brings Leeds right back into the equation now.
Personally think next week is a must win game.
Can't see Salford losing at home to Wakefield which would make them very difficult to overhaul.

a wire win would have us looking at claiming 6th spot making it harder, losing still keeps 5th and 6th open, still some twists and turns to come in the next few weeks, a lot of fixtures between teams in 5th to 10th!
