Bad performance, a couple missing, a few injuries, a cracking Saints performance and some missed chances which could have changed the game

Better that it was this week and not in the knockout stages

I can't help thinking that this was a good thing and a wake up call

Mentally that defeat will hurt. The seed of doubt in the play off's has been sewn.

You were physically battered , metally battered and battered on the score board. You will win next week but face an away tie in the semi's and may pick up more injuries.

Better prepare yourselves to go to Langtree Park as wigan will be sending you there

That's the end of our season then. No way will we lose to Saints at home only to beat them later on in the season.

That seed of doubt has been there for a number of years.

As for going to LP, we'll worry about Hull or Huddersfield first.

Oooo, scared. If I were you id be more worried about your lot playing Leeds given that they've dicked you as well this season.

whoever we play next week it wont be easy,prepare for a battle,then its away at saints and i hate to say it saints will steam roller themselves to another loss at old trafford

Seems that last night the problems were in the pack, injuries and absentees. If the injuries are not too bad, you should be ok.

Last nights problems was all over the park not just in the pack

Looks like some wire fans are a little touchy this morning. Whats the matter, did you lose?

Grow up and take defeat like a man

Is that because Saints have Wigans number as do Wire !

Remind me when did you last beat us ? Last Summer I think !

To be honest after last night I feel our season is effectively over.

Give up your season ticket then and don't come back !

Yes good idea. Sorry super fan, you are clearly better than us all.

Why not explain how we can beat St Helens even if we get through next week? Their line speed and commitment in the collision is something we cannot cope with.

Yes we can Mark. Remember only a month or so ago those two games at home to Wigan and away to St Helens.

Instead of being one home game away from the grand final, you are 1 home game....and an away game at either saints or wigan.

If you consider that a good thing i'm concerned about your mental health.

I realise it's human nature to try and look for the light in a time of crisis, but there isn't much good. Warrington's record in the playoffs is extremly poor. Let's not let a few challenge cup wins fool us into thinking warrington are major players at this stage of the season because they aren't.

The challenge cup is important. But the grand final is more imporant, and that's when the big cats come out to play. So far warrington have proven with no doubt they can't step up in this environment.

I thought St Helens were a different animal last night. All I can hope is that the week off they have will interrupt the intensity they seem to have found.

And Benny Westwood comes back. We were crying out for him last night to disrupt and and break down the opposition.

Still think it will end up Leeds and Saints in the final again looking at the upcoming fixtures. Crazy.

I am beginning to think this as well!

If Saints hadn't thrown away early season results before Royce Simmons went they would have romped away with the the league this year ,very strange situation & i wonder if they will really benefit next season when Nathan Brown arrives especially after Rush & Cunningham have done such a good job for them.

I don't think it was a good thing, as it does mean we have to go to Saints away if we win next week.

Wigan will not pick us in clubcall because they know we would probably beat them although it will be funny if they pick Leeds and Leeds turn them over.

I think we probably will win next week but it means the semi final will be very difficult and we will probably be slight underdogs.

Still it's not exactly beyond the realms of possibility that we will win and if we did I expect the confidence would return for the Grand Final. Early in the season we lost to Saints and Leeds and came back strongly, we got smashed by London one week and won the Challenge Cup the next.

Clubcall is a strange one this year, Wigan have Saints number and had they won probably have beat Saints on the Friday.

Thing is though IF they are given the choice of us and Leeds if we both win they are picking clubs that have their number.

Hoping Catalan do beat them though, if it is another Leeds v Saints final then i'm giving rugby a rest for a season.

Saints have only played one good game this season and yesterday wasn't that good game. Defensively we were OK our attack is only around 70% working at the moment, maybe there is a big performance around the corner, maybe that will be in the semi final, the grand final being another matter and is not worth thinking about at the moment.
The wire problem will be a mental one, it's difficult mentally to raise your game and hit top form consistently after winning a challenge cup. The double has only been done once in the short time spans of the finals , Wire will need a total dominant display next week, but the trouble is its play off football where the opposition are in the players faces, it's going to get tougher from now on.

JEEEEEZ!!!! So from having the best team with the best players, AND, a messianic coach, who has rotated your team wisely all season, you have become a team of no hopers.... Some of you need to give your heads a shake.

Defo has a 2010 feel to it

Only hope is they can somehow turn it round like after Salford and London.
