Does Warrington taking Huddersfield apart suggest that we're not that dreadful after all? At least we weren't on our own turf last week.

your right and we did manage to score 16 pts.

Certainly puts it into a bit of perspective

If Wire had got their kicks today it would have been 72 - 4, so maybe 68 - 16 wasn't quite so bad after all !!!!

And I didn't hear the Hudds fans singing sloop John B!! No sense of fun

Hate to say it, but Warrington are pretty impressive at the moment

Then again you ....


no ....


schadenfreude.

As much as very few of us like them I think it's great for Super League that Warrington are going well at the minute.

just proves if you have the most money you can get the best, plus again we have Warrington unsettling a team half way through a season by getting their best player tied in for next year.

[iToday as we are saw the Warrington Wolves rip apart the Huddersfield Giants and all credit goes to them.

But to be honest everything went the Wolves way today and very little went for the Giants.

The game was very much like last weeks performance by Salford City Reds up at Murrayfield and it proved once again that if your not up to scratch on any given day you will get taken to the sword.

On the 'RED BUTTON' coverage after the game the ex Warrington player Jonathan Davies hit the nail on the head when asked about head coaches these days when such a result goes against you.

He stated that at the end of the day when the players cross the white wash it's up to them to perform and there is nothing a coach can do about anything out on the paddock.

We at Salford City Reds are facing this sort of thing more or less every week this season and quite a lot of our fans are calling for Shaun McRae's head but at the end of the day he does not drop the ball or miss any tackles.

Here's hoping all the Salford City Reds players watched this afternoon's cup game from the Galpharm and next weekend when we entertain the mighty St Helens they come out all guns blazing and fight fire with fire because if we don't I can see Saints racking up a massive score against us.

Totally agree with you "Diavolo Rosso"]

The departing Huddersfield Giants full-back started today's game well strapped up and he did not even look fit to play to me from the first minute.

I firmly believe the Giants coach today should have left his full back out of the team today because as you have hinted his head may not have been right?

[iThe Huddersfield Giants players simply gave up this afternoon after about 25 minutes and when you see any group of players do this there can only be one end result.

At least last week up at Murrayfield our boys did try and keep going to the end sadly today the Giants did not and fully got what they deserved a bloody good smacking.

SMITH REVEALS WARRINGTON INSPIRATION


[iWarrington Wolves head-coach Tony Smith revealed that a visit from a wounded soldier provided the inspiration for his side's emphatic 60-4 Carnegie Challenge Cup fifth-round win over Huddersfield today.

Corporal Simon Brown, who suffered horrific facial injuries in the conflict in Afghanistan, gave a speech to the Wolves players during their preparations for the latest defence of their trophy.

"He came to speak to us in the week and I'd like to thank him for the inspiration he gave us," said Smith.

"It helped keep us grounded. He's lost sight in one eye and most of the sight in the other eye and, when you hear those sort of stories, it really comes home to roost.

"I'm not saying it was all down to Simon Brown but it was worthwhile. From that, the players had to go out and they did perform."

I think the Wire/Shudds results shows two things;

- Wire are better than we'd given them credit for (so perhaps we're not as bad as we thought?)

- Hudds aren't as good as some people thought (so perhaps our win against them wasn't that impressive?)

Both of these things. IMO.

Warrington are a real force this season and have quality all over the team, you just cant afford to turn over the ball / conceed silly penalities in dangerous areas because they will punish you.

Which is what happened in Scotland to us.

Wonder how many club accounts Warrington have in order to keep them under the salary cap
