Walmsley may be missing for them. Didn't look too clever when he went off the other night and supposedly had scans today on his neck and shoulder.

Yes I meant Oledzki, apologies.

Really tough test this especially with Ward & Cuthbo missing.
For me if Walker isn't starting then dont pick him we need a 4 man bench we're going to use.

If Oledszki is fit enough I'd definitely put him on the bench instead of Walters or Ormondroyd. If Dwyer is fit again then I'd put him on the bench ahead of Walker, there's no way Golding should be dropped after his last 2 performances.

I think Saints will have too much for us though. I think they'll win by 10.

Will be interesting to see how Saints perform. Has been said on the VT and some other boards that they've mostly had a comfortable fixture list so far. Salford, Hudds and Catalans are all teams fighting to avoid bottom 4. Warrington look quite average after the uncertainty of how much they'd improve in the preseason. Cas on paper should've been a tough test and whilst Saints played well Cas were shocking and not at the races at all and would've probably lost to any team that night on that showing.

Think it might be bigger than that. But probably the scoreline will be flattered in the last 20 minutes. Last two games our use of substitutes has been really poor. It caught us out at Widnes and another couple of minutes would have caught us out again on Friday. Think we can make a game of it for 60 minutes, and if we take our chances, who knows we might build a lead, but that last 20 minutes I just can't see anything other than Saints putting us to the sword, based on how we have used the players last two games.

Agree with that other than I feel Saints could take this with around 20 to spare.
I think that the game against Hull will have taken a bit out of our older forwards and we don`t have the backup to rotate due to injuries.

I was at Warrington last week and in the first 20 minutes I thought Saints looked as quick as Melbourne did in the WCC.

They have a ploy of attacking up the middle of the ruck area. Looking to expose the gap that is left behind the markers. They did a lot of running into that channel last Friday night and Warrington struggled to cope. One thing for certain is they are going to play an expansive style of football and look to move the defence around a lot.

Richardson is a handful and moves them well alongside the field, surprised Lomax is playing at 6 as he doesn't actually offer that much. It's a bonus if Walmsley isn't fit but the focus has to be on stopping Roby as he was phenomenal again last week.

Defensively they were very strong as well, only conceded tries from kicks last week, conceded 2 points the week before so the attacking game needs to be on point as well if Leeds are going to get anything from the game on Friday night.

One thing we must keep to a minimum is the unforced errors (stating the obvious, I know). Warrington failed to do that and Saints were ruthless. By the end, the extra defending Wire had to do, coupled with chasing the game, inflated the score somewhat, I thought.

Warrington's opening five minutes of the second half might be the worst they'll play all season.

And being on the back end of a 12-6 penalty count as well.

Golding
Briscoe
Watkins
Hall
Moon
Myler
Parcell
Singleton
Ablett
JJB
Dwyer
Delaney
Mullally
Handley
Ormondroyd
Walker
Oledzki
Smith
Walters

Bad miss having Garbut out.
My guess for Friday and 20 points at least hammering by Saints will be:

Golding
Briscoe
Watkins
Handley
Hall
Moon
Myler
Mullally
Parcell
Singleton
Ablett
Delaney
JJB

Dwyer
Ormondroyd
Oledzki
Walters

Not looking promising

Walmsley missing from Saints' 19.

All we need is Barba, Richardson and Roby to miss out and we are in with a shout. 37-10 to Saints.
