Saturday evening result was the worst we could wish for
Salford winning and having +161 pd means they'll be gunning for us on Thursday
Just a 24 point win will put them in second. which means we could drop to 5th over that weekend.
Cas have a tough finish, but winning our last 3 games would guarantee 2nd I'm afraid it looks like we've blown it.
Cruising in second to this mess. We can't even blame it on injuries, more like DISCIPLINE MR PRICE..The buck stops with you.
Next week will be a blood bath.

The result made it more likely we'll finish in 2nd. Salford did us a huge favour.

Re: Top 5, : Sat Aug 17, 2019 8:26 pm  

Thought Hull would go clear second but well done to Salford, keeps us in it.
We have to win all 3 remaining games to hold on to second as it looks like the pies should win their last 3.
But would finishing third be a bad thing?
Let Saints and pies smash each other with us then visiting the loser.

It's 2 v 3 and 4 v 5

1 gets the 1st week off.

Concurred, that’s how they start but not how they finish

We are a shocking side, yet we are second with only 3 games to go. Anyone want to argue the standard of super league is shocking?

Re: Top 5, : Sat Aug 17, 2019 8:53 pm  

Anyone who watched Warrington before 2009 will realise that we have a unique ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It’s a refreshing lapse back to my youth to see us finish 5th in a 2 horse race.

First things first, 1 Wembley, then second, this weekend results means one more SL victory and barring some freak scorelines (Cas still have to play Saints, Wigan & Hull) we finish in the playoffs. Then its down to knockout rugby and anything can happen.

The standard of SL has been on a slippery slope for several years, although the salary cap does seem to be working as we seem to have a more level playing field amongst the results dished up each week.
