Don't put yorselves down. We can still have a bad game every so often. We couldn't do anything right against Hull on Easter Monday.

Exactly, we won at Catalans and they havent looked back since that game.

Seeing a few star players should give our lads more confidence. Weve been on the end of a few hidings in recent years though. The Penny hat trick of tries within about 10 mins infront of our stand is one bad memory from the last few years since we beat them twice in 2006 I think.

I will be full of optimism, until we are 18-0 down after 10 mins!

Bit confusing to do so on a thread entitled "Warrington away on the 12th June."

As regards the Warrington game, is it just a £1.00 saving on tickets bought in advance?

Strangely I reckon I would rather being playing a Wire team at full strength. All this talk of us having a chance cos you've got a few players in the exiles game will only serve to give us some false hope before the inevitable defeat occurs.

True !!

Apologies if you found it confusing.

If this arrogance doesn't motivate our lads for a massive performance on Sunday I don't know what will.

I think we have a real chance, we have to keep warrington at bay by keeping them in their 20 with a good kicking game, if we stay in the arm wrestle they will get leggy before we do that for sure, dont give away silly penalities and conceeed easy yards they will come out quick try and get 20 up early so the hard work is done, weather that storm and it will be our day .

The likes of Rachford/Broughton/Anderson who had a particular good game last week will need to rase their game again as i feel warrington will taget that area of the field by running the like of king and big units like that over us in that area, we deal with that threat by getting 3 in the tackle like we did against Wille Mason at the willows and i feel we have a real good chance of coming away with the points

Yeah what's he thinking saying we "can" win.

unfortunately i cannot see any other result than a wire win but we are going to struggle we have now got 8 players in total playing the exiles match so tiredness takes its toll if we play our main forwards who are both in the england squad it depends how much they have left in the tank if they rest them and play the likes of cooper mitchell they arent as big units as mozza and gazza so we may struggle down the middle should be an interesting game to see how we cope

It makes me think that Wood's thinking were only playing Salford. How would you view it if you were playing say St George and read a similar comment from one of their players? "Well put young lads in there and can come up with a win over Warrington"

He thinks we can I don't see the problem its not like saying we will win.

Major banana skin if Smith chooses not to allow players to back up. In the past he hasnt allowed it and we will struggle with more than half the team out.

i'd say good on them for promoting the world club challenge



i know what you're saying here, but i reckon if you look at it in context, our record with putting young uns in this year is pretty good, gaz o'brien came in cold and looked awesome v cas, and we dropped rhys Evans in versus leeds and he had the game of this life.

Look at at more from the POV that our kids are good and ready to slot in the first team.

It's OK for one or two inexperienced young players to come into a confident, inform, experienced team. Any more than a 2 or 3 will weaken the team and you will see a noticable difference. Take Rhys Evans as an example - He looked an outstanding prospect in a strong Warrington team a couple of months back. However, when I saw him playing for Leigh on loan the other week he looked a shadow of the prospect he did for wire and knocked on about three times.

Easy win for the Reds

followed by the destruction of Castleford, Crusaders and Harlequins... Storm up the Super League.

I can't see anything other than a Wire win TBH. Although there's always a chance, RL being what it is. As for youngsters, if a coach such as Smith puts them in he must think they r good enough. Theredshed makes a good point though, youngsters will shine with confident and in-form team-mates rather than struggle with less-able team mates. (No offence to Leigh supporters here, either)

that macclesfield water, makes you see life through a different glass

No problem. The £20 "sizzler" promotion (pie, pint, programme and main stand admission ticket) for the Crusaders RL v Salford away game on 24th June is definitely worthy of its own thread.

Ive often wondered why the Macclesfield water came in a pint glass...

That deal is great, ive not got my Crusaders tickets yet, but im having some of that!

Does this mean you'll stop raiding other teams for their young talent now?

Ticket bought for Crusaders... £10 for a student ticket in the Mold Road Stand.. beer, pie and programme.. BARGAIN.

Ill get my Warrington ticket from the Willows when im up that way for the Lancs v Yorks match on friday.

Like Salford raided Widnes for Myler?
