A month ago I would have been dreading this game, it would have had another fifty-point drubbing written all over it, but suddenly it has become an interesting one.
Warrington seem to have hit a bump in the road once again in recent weeks. They certainly looked somewhat dejected and low on confidence when losing to Salford last week, although it may simply have been post-Wembley blues which can afflict any number of sides down the years.
We, on the other hand, had a long-awaited confidence boost last week, just by the act of actually winning once more. Even allowing for Leeds poor performance, we played with a good deal more energy and vigour than we probably have done all year. If we can replicate that on Saturday (which should also engage the crowd as well) then we stand a chance of being in with a shout.
On the other hand, if Wire bottle up all their frustrations of recent weeks and decide to take it out on us then we could be in bother. On paper, they have way too much quality for us to handle, and if they click back into gear once again it might become a painful watch.
I just want to see us committed and playing with energy and hopefully take our chances when they come our way. Sounds like the weather is going to be different from last weekend, so let's hope for some fun in the sun at last!
