It's only going to be a good thing if we learn from it. I agree that it could be a good thing - we would never have lifted the trophy if we had won yesterday playing like that - but we have to learn. If Hull/Huddersfield have any sense they will have watched that game, and they will be up in our faces at 100mph too, so we need to have a solid plan of how to cope with that.

Yes sure, get our regular pack back fit and play as normal, we'll then be able to get the backs running off the pack with a tad more time and less pressure, then we'll win, just like most of this year. Quite easy really.
Oh and a bit of luck, Saints used theirs all up last night, we still have a big bagfull left, we didn't use any of it last night.

If we beat Hull/Hudds next week at home(and if we don't then we don't deserve to be anywhere near old trafford) then we are in the semi finals. If we had won last night we would be in the semi finals. At least this year we have made use of our 'extra life' you get for finishing in the top 4. Last year we lost one game(the wrong one out of the 2) and were eliminated. If we have to go to saints then i expect the pressure will be off us a little bit after last night. If we get our injured troops back then we'll be ok.

The way people are going on is ridiculous! We lost against a good side and can still reach the GF. We've had a good season with silverware so far and had fun. It's a game at the end of the day, some people who moan, gripe and troll need to grow up a bit.

We've had a few years of success and now Warrington are expected to win everything. What about the days when we turned up to the match expecting to loose, and we sung and backed the lads to no end. we celebrated when we lost, and went ballistic when we won. Watching the stadium empty with 15 minutes to go last night made me sick, It was embarrassing. Never thought I'd witness wire doing a Wigan walk...

Keep the faith, turn up, have fun.

Just watched it back through and it reinforces my view. We will win next week but have no answer the week after to St Helens' absolutely brutal and committed defence.

Apart from the basic errors from some of our more senior players we weren't actually that bad. The one hope I have is that Skints can't reproduce that effort again and that the week off will work against them.

Have you been sniffing glue ?
