Matty Smith and Wilkin...how do you guys think they will go up against a solid half back partnership that Warrington bring to the game tonight?

Hopefully with Graham Cuningham Hargreaves Fa'asavalu Soliola Puletua and Clough up front they'll have a easy platform to play on... Matty Smith showed against us at The Willows he has an excellent kicking game... more so short kicking game (something we don't have much of) which ripped us apart, hopefully he can bring the type of creativity in...
As for Wilkin... he's done it before... get some of those towering bombs up for Mathers to deal with

If weather forecast is right kicking will be absolutely critical tonight and we'll be a better bet with Smith than without.

My only "worry" was with Wilkin, I think in the CC semi final against Leeds he took too much on being at half back and having in field kicking responsibility, hopefully with matty smith taking control with kicks it can settle wilkin and let him focus on what he needs to do.

Yeah agreed, but in the Semi Wilko had no choice but to take on some kicking game as there was nobody else bar Moore... Hopefully Smith will take control and leave the bombs to Wilkin

I really don't think wilkin is up to the job. I don't rate him full stop. Fingers crossed he surprises us with a master class performance icon_smile.gif

Smith's settled back in "like he's never been away" so that shouldn't be a problem. Bring on the Wire!

He's definately capable though, he has proved that on numerous occasions a few seasons back, but nothing more recent...hopefully with smith there he will prove you wrong : icon_lol.gif

I hope Smith gets a fantastic welcome when he comes onto the pitch if he is playing tonight. If he does play we need to all get behind him and the team. We can't let the Wire win tonight.

No Fa'asavalu tonight, Dixon on the bench.

In fairness to Wilkin, with Pryce only pulling out of the semi final on the Friday evening he had trained all week in the back row and was thrown in at H/B without a run out.

I understand what your saying mate but these are professional players who should be able to play in any position. It's no like he doesn't know the calls etc. That's the way I look at it anyway.

That's a ridiculous stance to take, do you expect Graham to be able to play scrum half? Or Foster to play prop?
