I would dearly love to beat warrington, however, factually observing Warrington defence & try saving tackles + the way they attack defending which is awesome then looking observation at our poor attacking ideas we will not win this game, we do not have enough threat & execution, we are also a lot slower which currently teams can easily read us. Our single attacking option of Hampshire looping is now telegraphed & easy to close down, our forwards do not inter pass in play & movement.
So summing up, Warrington at least 3 tries each half + goals ! Minimum 6 tries, can our defence stop that ?????

no - and we wont be scoring anywhere near enough - the only chance is if the ground is a bog and the score is like 6-4 that is our only chance

Think it will be 6 to 8 for the reasons you have said .Think we are the slowest team in S L when it comes to basics

I don't quite know how you come to that conclusion for this season after one game, I do however agree that last season we weren't the quickest side around the ruck.
It's something that will need work IF it continues after a few games because speed in that area is essential.

No point then.
Might stay home and catch up on Love Island.

You could see it with the first game against Leeds No it did no matter but the basics speed with the ball should be there .Think we will miss BJB more than you think. Look how we got run ragged when Lyne went off against H K R . Know Brough was a loss but no excuse for the bad defence down that wing

Factual!

You never watch that do you PT!

I'm on the list for the next series.

May have to tune in Wollo.

Mind you, I wouldn't mind staying in that villa for a few weeks

Warrington are by far the best team in the league atm and will be very difficult to beat BUT you have to try and take them out of there comfort zone whatever that would be,ie closing them down quicker,Kick into touch on the 5th to slow the game down if it's apparent where not in a good position and so on, so it's up to Chris chester and the staff to get the tactics right on the day and you knows we might pull it off.






Up The Trin

One of their main attributes have been keeping the ball alive via numerous offloads and clever passes.
We might not be able to stop any short passes, but wrapping the ball up in the tackle is a must this week if we want to have a chance against the wire.

It is however unfortunately one of the things we generally don't do well.

One of many

If it didn't go against my principles of never backing against Trinity, I would put my life savings on Wire to clear the handicap of 10 points.
Easy money but, you cant ever back against your side.

Come on Trin !

And I always regarded you has a rather intelligent gentleman, PT

LOL. I don't know how to answer that

The wife is the boss unfortunately.
I'm not saying I'd watch it instead of Rugby........ Or any sport for that matter.
But it is quite funny seeing pretty people crumble on TV with a small hint that they are not the prettiest or most popular in the villa.


As said though, I'd happily stay in the villa if they moved out.

It's our 50th anniversary next year God willing, and the secret of our longevity is two televisions, solves a lot of problems especially with Sky Q.

Don't tell Wigan that ackers

Same in our house really, Mrs EW is the boss, add to that the soaps. Luckily she draws the line with other reality shows. She watched it at the start as our daughter watches it and she was curious. Its given me time to read the books I got bought at Christmas. I've now read all 3. Hope it's not on much longer.



Anyway back on thread

Yes undoubtably the best thing for marriage longevity and uninterrupted sport.
