Despite that try, I don't think the Rhinos can dig this one out.

I haven't seen us this good in ages. Keeping our discipline, keeping our shape, top class.

Was expecting a cracker tonight but didn't get it. Leeds look very poor and make too many errors, they are not timing their runs well at all and they look easy to beat in defence. Warrington are a quality side but I don't think they will win super league untill they get a better 7, Myler is not good enough as a 7 IMO. Warrington also need to tighten up their defence. They are a team who would rather win 40-24 thans 24-6.... similar margin but I know what kind of results I prefer when the title is decided on play-off games. The only thing I enjoyed about tonights game was a couple of really high quality tries.

We've seen plenty of 'unbeatable' teams not even make the Grand Final before. Wire have a good chance this season, but are they a match for Wigan in a big game environment?

It all depends on injuries. Take Briers and Morley out of the Wire side and I doubt they would win too many big games.

To be fair, Morley has missed the 2nd half of tonights game aswell as last week against your lot, plus tonight we were missing Louis Anderson, Chris Bridge, Matt King and Ryan Atkins and still put 40 on Leeds.

Morley missed most of the first half too, never mind the second. We also won a lot of games without Briers last season too.

Without Briers Wire's attack wouldn't be as potent
When the ball goes down Myler's side he doesn't look like he's going to create something
Could be the difference in big games

I'm not disputing the fact that you are a good team. I think there is a lot of reliance on Briers. Leeds are no great shakes at the moment. Their 'Morley and Briers' are both out.

Wire were comprehensively outplayed by Huddersfield in the first game. It's March and there is a lot of road left. Should make for a genuinely interesting Super League this term. Wigan and Warrington look good bets for a run at the top. Huddersfield have already proven they can beat Warrington when it matters and are two in a row against them. It's no more teams than usual competing, but at least they are different ones. Perhaps if Saints could pull a cheeky halfback signing from somewhere and the likes of McGuire and Peacock return Leeds could make a late push.

Switched his allegiance to England though - played for England Academy against the Aussies

Most teams without there main pivot wouldn't look as potent, Saints without Pryce, Leeds without Mcguire and Wigan without Sam Tomkins would struggle to break teams down in the big games.

I offer you 2009 Challenge cup final as a game that really matters....

Bridge, King and Atkins all missing for Warrington, thats alot of fire power. And to still post 40 on Leeds in a very good effort. A couple of very important pack players missing too, in Louis Anderson and Morley (for all but 15 minutes) shows what a very good sqaud Warrington have got.

It didn't matter any more than the Play Offs last year. Stop trying to overpower any point anyone makes. Warrington are a fantastic side and one of the top 2 this year IMO. But they aren't some superhuman machine that cannot possibly lose.

Wire were very good for most of the game, but faded in the back end. Similar to against Saints.

Leeds have still got heaps of pace, which i think helpded them out on a number of occassions. However their pack was smashed by Wires.
What said it most was that Sinfield was having to bring every trick in the book out, to keep Leeds in the match.

Looking ahead to the match v Saints in 2 weeks. I can see Leeds winning that purely because they have the tools to defeat Saints. eg a good kicking game and pace out wide. Saints backs wont live with those of Leeds, and i predict we will be picked apart down the flanks.

Leeds fans will probably worry about their defence, however Saints defence is almost as porous. I therefore expect this game to be a tryathon.

Saints still have Eastmond who CAN break teams down (when hes interested )
Leeds have Burrow and Sinfield
Wigan have Leuluai, Deacon and O'Loughlin

Not too say Myler's a bad player but I wouldnt want him calling the shots for my team in a big game.
Just realised I've discounted Michael Monaghan who is a brilliant player but he can't do everything from dummy half
