Quote: Judder Man "If Warrington pick up injuries and suspensions they could lose the top 5 possibly with only 1 win at home against Wakefield, the chasing pack are closing in.'"


I find that unlikely, but it's certainly a real possibility that they will find themselves 4th or 5th and straight into knock out rugby.

I can't see Warrington winning their next two, whereas Wigan and Hull should win theirs (not saying they will, but they will be favourites to). That would mean Warrington go into the cup final 2 points behind Hull and level with Wigan, and we know that teams tend to struggle to back up after Wembley.

I find it strange Warrington are resting so many players against us.

Good tactic IMHO.
Wire have lost 3 on the Bounce in SL and after the shenanigans i France, resting a few to recharge and contemplate isn't a bad thing. The Hub-Cap is gone, but there's still 2 trophies to play for and I think you'll see wire come back stronger for the rest

They are having a tough set of fixtures right up to the Cup Final in having Catalans, Saints and Wigan so they could be on equal points with the teams currently below them. After the Cup Final they have Salford away which they have really struggled with this season.

If Warrington slack off in the next two games they could see their points difference being eroded away, they have not rested many players this season and it will be interesting to see if they can avoid being over cooked for the play offs with that remote possibility that they might get pipped for 5th place by Salford.

Do you think there will be the same uproar from certain fans that warrington are resting so many players?

Quite the opposite probably, the likes of Hull, Wigan, Catalans, Castleford and Salford would be happy, its not effecting the bottom end of the relegation battle.

few teams at the top picking up a few injuries to major players...warrington-austin, fc-kelly and cas-watts, lower teams signing players

could be interesting over the next couple of weeks, top 5 could have a total different look come cc cup final weekend, think we will see wigan in second place by then, wire, fc, cas, catalan and salford all seperated by 2-4 points! exciting and nervous times!

bottom, leeds seem to be getting results, expect them to beat catalan minus tomkins and mcilorum...london may turn them over again the following week too and make it an even tougher scrap to avoid relegation

In terms of the relegation battle, London have benfited twice from Saints resting players. They still weren't gimmes and needed winning but theres 4 points more than London may have got otherwise.

This week Leeds are the main beneficiaries of last weekends debarcle in France. That might just be enough for Leeds to finally survive.

Right now I can't see any other team winning SL other than Saints and they're likely to get the treble.

I doubt we'll beat Wigan this weekend so the bottom is likely to become a three way with us, London and Wakey now.

Shudds have got to be in there somewhere with their remaining games, I'll show my @rris on't town hall steps if KR are still involved on the last day.

I've supported Rovers for 40+ years, I know we have the ability to shoot ourselves in the foot when everything looks good. However, this time, I hope you're right.

Quite ironic that Saints should face a weakened side, although may of Wires changes are not strictly by choice, unlike Saints who fielded a deliberately weakened side and their 17 is still stronger, in terms of their best 17, than Saints put out the other week icon_surprised.gifops:

Saints v Wigan grand final nailed on. Warrington are shot. They are now closer to the bottom of the table as they are to the top. Worryingly, Wigan seem to be peaking at the right time. If it was saints v Warrington GF we would win easily but against Wigan they can always produce a performance when it matters
