why? We've had 3 easy wins against Saints and would have made it 4 but for MM's sending off, whereas Leeds have shown they can beat us.

catalan might have a say in whether or not leeds are in the shake up..providing leeds managed to beat an in form Wakey

I'd imagine that with it being a semi final that the Saints players wouldn't need too much motivation anyway, but then picking them ahead of a team that finished 5th could be the extra that they needed to beat us. Why do their team talk?

I'm not saying they would beat us because I don't think they would, but it's setting yourself up for an almighty fall imo. Unless there are mitigating circumstances such as injuries (and even then I'd be sceptical) I would always opt for the lowest ranked club.

True, it's just my personal feeling that I'd be a lot less confident of beating Leeds. Long way to go yet, though, there might well be an upset or two in the next games.

If we play to our potential then as May and June showed, we'll beat anyone.

--- great post

its sept--you wont

Looking forward to all the matches and hope there are no run away victories in the games this weekend - we enjoyed ours last night but in fairness nobody else did

as one sided victories are only ever good for one side and in the play off's they should all really be close games and need to be to make it interesting for everyone else. Much as I always want to beat Saints my heart says I hope they do turn Wire over tonight as it will be interesting to see if Smith's squad rotation is all it is cracked up to be however my head says Wire will win comfortably. Jury still out on Wakefield v Leeds and Hull v Huddersfield but certainly looks like some good viewing this weekend

It will be great to sit back and enjoy every bone crunching tackle. It would be nice to see a few punch-ups too so I can laugh at the following RFL’s lack of action.

What would you know about playing well in September and more specifically October?

In October we just might though eh!

-doubt it ,you wont be there

-didnt you know

it the *year of the wolves* this year

Personally can see them playing each other twice in the play offs, as can't see us picking either in club call even if we have had the beating of Saints in 3 of 4 games so far. I think Saints are capable of beating them once and after the two performances we've had against Wire so far I'd rather see a Wire win tonight then send Saints to the HJ in week 3 and then there be a Saints win. Can see us beating Saints at Old Trafford but not as optomistic about Wire.

Saying that though despite our performances vs Wire in the league when we played them in the cup last year we beat them, so maybe I should be abit more optomistic about our chance vs Wire in a knock out game.

It's closer than I thought this game, Saints always turn up in the play off's I think the club call will be an obvious decision let these two play again!

They're knocking 7 bells out of each other too. Whoever gets the loser of this game next weekend may not have a better chance of beating them.

Wish i could see Wireflyer33's face at the moment.... Will look like a smacked ....

They've just been banging on about how magnificent that half of rugby was... No it wasn't, it was cack. Way too many errors. I remember when you used to have high intensity games with hardly any errors!

Soliola has been great tbf. Class player.

And that was a great try. Awesome defence from Hodgson.

Thicko Wire fans.

Someone tell Wire that Coca Cola have the perfect winter job for their players at the bottling plant.

After the news a few weeks ago about a player with Hepatitis C, Waterhouse not going off is a disgrace. It's for the players' own safety ffs.

More Warrington Whoops than Warrington Wolves.

Lollington Wolfs.

oh god this is so funny! Warrington cho.....cho...choke yet again. they may come through but they will be knackered.

Bloody hell never in a million years did i see this coming. Looks like Wire are going to do this now the hard way and given their record in the playoffs will be a real test for them now. Especially since we will send them to Saints if they win next week.
