After 20 years of watching Warrington, with the singing of "Dessie, give us a wave" at Des Drummond and getting a wave back being the highlight of the match I say let people be optimistic. Makes a change from the miserable downtrodden attitude Warrington fans usually have.

That said all I want is to beat Saints when it matters haha.

It's the best performance I've ever seen. The 1986 Premiership Final and the 1974 team were both entirely different. Both teams were built on big dominant packs, and although the current pack is also dominant, we now seem to have a set of backs who can score tries almost at will.

as some have already said let people enjoy it while it lasts,been a long time in waiting,i was also around in 74 and that was awsome to,but if pushed id say its more exciting these days.

Its dangerous to be over confident as it breeds arrogance which can trip you up.

Anyway, slightly off topic.

After we have beaten Bradford in the cup it will be great to draw Wigan in the semis again and knock them out for the 2nd year running.

Ideal scenario for me is this.

We beat Bradford, Wigan beat Leeds.

We draw Catalans in the semi final, Saints v Wigan.

You're sat watching Saints v Wigan not really caring who wins as you know that you've got a quality final against an arch enemy. Half the stadium will be red & white, the other half primrose & blue, Wembley will be packed, the build up will be so terrifying it's untrue.

Oh, then on the Sunday - we do our job and despatch Catalans.

I really like TS's respect for the opposition and the humility he expects from his players. Its actually a very refreshing attitude and not as common in top level sport as it should be.
