| Quote Northampton_Saint="Northampton_Saint"Only Warrington can beat themselves, certainly - noone else is going to do it. Luckily they do have a bit of a record for doing that so some hope still remains. Their fans will certainly fly into a panic very quickly and easily and get right on the players' backs if things do go a bit against them at any stage in the playoffs - it's not a fait accompli quite yet.'"
The same was being stated, last season.

| I was impressed with their defence again last night . They tackled us out of the game and they pretty much did the same job on the goons. Ratkins and the rest of the backs didnt get a sniff behind a beaten pack and Warrington's attack was fantastic to watch , always looking to offload and create space. If they play like they have in the last 2 games I can't see any team this side of the world stopping them . Their squad looks really fresh too thanks to Smith's rotation policy and the strength in depth they have

Please don't compare our approach to the salary cap to ther way you used to. You were exposed as salary cap cheats, we abide by the rules.

It was an administration error made when paying out winning bonuses (£8,000 I believe). We didn't deliberately cheat like Wigan for example who were £250k over the salary cap the year they went over.

It certainly seems an innocuous error but considering Warrington's nose is cleaner than clean, it's £8000 more than WArrington have ever gone over the cap.

I think we could do without the smug self-righteous sanctimony if you don't mind matey - the glasshouse rule applies. Warrington are obviously bending the rules and exploiting the loopholes on salary cap every bit as much now as any other team ever has in the history of SL, even Wigan. If the rules allow it to go on then more power to your elbow and by all means exploit it to the full extent you can - I hope the new stadium allows us to go doling out dozens of suspiciously highly paid clerical jobs to players' friends and family soon too. Just don't come on here with the phoney halo **** and we'll all be happy.

| I like the way Warrington play and rate Tony Smith, but TBH at their best I prefer Wigan's more structured approach (if anything I think their pack is a classic case where the sum of parts is better than the individuals). The key to beating any team of course is to put them under pressure - stopping them scoring or at least building an early lead is vital. Whether anyone can do that with Warrington remains to be seen though.
