| Quote ="LovesToSpooge"I had a similar discussion with another wire fan in regards to the opposing packs of wire and the giants, and I personally though the starting forwards were pretty even, however the forwards on the bench for Huddersfield I thought have the advantage.
Plus the deciding factor of why the Giants are favorites for me would be the style they play, when wire played against us there large forwards smashed us and from that they were then able to get to there feet quickly allowing Monaghan to use the quick play of the ball very effectively, but I just don't think you'll get this against Huddersfield, they'll slow you down a lot not allowing that quick ball for Monaghan to exploit, taking away his threat from dummyhalf.'"
I think you are pretty much on the button there. If Thaler is the Ref, the speed of the ptb will be pedestrian to say the least.

| I sort of half hope they do make the play-offs because it would be a great game whoever they play and I would love a home tie against them.
I would not be bothered if they missed out though.

| Quote ="AJR"Right all this about Huddersfield being a great team... they are a good team, but we battered them at the HJ... 40-18, our forwards (if all are fit) are more than a match for theirs (as you lot should agree!!!) so, it isnt going to be such a formality as you think.. I think you wish it more than think it.. big difference.'"
Not at all, I really don't have a strong opinion either way as to who I want to win and I live in Warrington (for my sins) so know a lot of Warrington fans and think it is great that they finally have something to cheer about after all the years of not getting anywhere - ok I know we've not been too crash hot but we've been there or thereabouts far more than you guys. I honestly just believe that Huddersfield will do better than you on the day and you need some good performances in the league over the remaining matches otherwise it will be another short season for you.
When your fans spent all night singing Wembley last night it was probably just to wind us up (didn't work) but it was as if you had tunnel vision and were only interested in the Challenge Cup.
I hope your players stay fit so that it is a fair contest - and hopefully nobody will kick Paul Johnson in the back like he did to Amos Roberts last night as well - way out of order

Could be something to do with the song you lot were singing last night, how did it go, "we're the famous warrington wolves and we're going to wemberleee".
Trouble is, and I hate to burst this inflated little bubble that has sprung up in the last few weeks but...... you're not famous for anything.
I guess that would make you bitter.
Thing is you have 20 years of oblivion to look back on and nothing else, and if you don't win in 2 weeks, probably another 20 years to look forwards to.
Famous my 4rse !

When I was on holiday chatting to other people from this country I was saying my rugby team had a semi final in a weeks time and they asked who I supported and I said Wigan and they said oh yes Wigan I have heard of them, they then asked who we were playing so I said Warrington and well... they had no idea. I then asked if they had heard of the football team East Fife and they said of course we have. So here is the conclusion, East fife are more famouse than Warrington.

Errrmmm so a song has wound you all up. Flipin heck I hope nothing serious happens how would you possibly cope. It is a song that every team sings. you really do have issues.
I completely agree with you that many pople in will have heard of Wigan RLFC. They did a fantastic job promoting the game due to being so dominant. Who is to say in 20yrs nobody will know them, but everyone will know St Helens or dare I say Warrington. Winners are all people remember, hopefully We will be winners in 2 weeks, that will alter nothing, until Warrington are consistant winners few people outside or RL will know them..

That is a great response to have mate. Most wire fans coming on our board bite back, but you gave a good honest answer and I agree with you. The ones people will of heard of are Bradford, Leeds, Saints and Wigan because they are all recent winners of trophies, and although our last one was 2002 many people obviously remember the glory days. Hopefully the challenege cup final will raise the profile of the 2 teams and they can get bigger crowds and all that jazz.

Very much looking forward to the challenge cup final this year, two different teams for once, a new winners name on the cup, unpredictable result with no clear favourite.

True. First time in 4 years there has been no clear favourite and even though I don't like wire I really would not mind them winning it other than the stick from the fans.

| You lot do have chips on your shoulders about Warrington dont you. You are writing more on here about us then about your own team.
Just let last weekend go.
After five games this season we hadnt won a game and if someone had send we could go to wembley we would have taken it.
So just stop trying to get one over on us - its gone and whether we win or lose or make the playoffs we will still be coming out for another go in 2010 whatever happens.
Just let it all lie and concentrate on your own team

You wish
I think we are discussing warrington because we have played you twice in the last 2 weeks, you are a play off contender.
After the Cas game we will discuss Cas.

I'm sure once the CC Final is over and WHEN we reach a good position in the playoffs we will revert back to discussing our true rivals.

Its the only reason I have been talking about wigan because we have been the build up to the semi and back to back games.
PS you sure that they weren't thinking of Wigan the football club?
