Anybody know whether pre-season matches are scheduled? Going to be in Cheshire for the first time in, er, 32 years and a Wire game is top of my bucket list (above getting a house, car and job)

There will definitely be a preseason testimonial game for Stephan Ratchford, but the details have not been released yet.
Enjoy your game. |

Judging by Powell's pre-season comments, Ashton is a winger until further notice. Says he needs to build the skillset of a fullback. Leads me to think Thewlis will be back-up for Ratchford and Ashton's main weapon of pace will be kept for when we shift the ball wide. Hopefully he'll get to break some tackles on the kick returns too, as he seems pretty good at that sort of thing.

I hope Powell will use him as an evasive runner on kick returns and not a battering ram. I have high hopes. |

It's really encouraging to hear Powell speak about preseason and to see him so hands on with ball in hand.

Interesting that the journalist in that article isn’t tipping Leeds. At the back end of last season they were the darlings of all things good according to the Sky commentary. They’ve arguably made the biggest signings with Blake Austin and Aidan Sezer in the key positions, and I’d say they are the team under the most pressure to deliver the goods. No more ‘transition period' excuses.
I think that seriousaboutrl.com are underestimating HKR a bit, too. I don’t think they will be top 4 but I’d have them above Cas and Wakefield. Hull FC certainly have the squad to be top 4 - 6 but consistency remains the issue.
Personally, I think we’ll end up 3rd or above, it’s just whether we can win the important games at the end. EDIT: At least we have made some significant changes to try and achieve that.

Must admit I thought Leeds would be higher.

There are a lot of "fans" on here that can be super critical of the club but have supported the club financially and from the terraces for a long, long, long time. They have seen owners, coaches, players, initiatives, gimmicks, stadia developments, rule changes, league changes come and go. They have seen new fans join and leave. Players grow old and their sons replace them, great teams built and fall away. Stay long enough on this forum and you find once vocal passionate Warrington forum members who posted ad-infinitum about "fans" for a few years now silent and long gone. These core "fans" are loyal, passionate, persistent and committed. I'm not talking 5 or 6 years or since the HJ was built - I am talking decades and generations. Some of them were watching the Wire before their accusers were even born. These people deserve to be called fans, they have the right.
I often see the insertion of the quotation marks by people who are intolerant of differing viewpoints to their own and it is their way of making a sly dig as if they are superior to others in some way. In my opinion it is facile.

Powell first priority is to get our players to play as a team.
We have been beaten in a lot of key games under the Price regime, by inferior squads of players, simply because of their teamwork. |

Agreed, I'm a little concerned up front but we have some real quality, if Powell can get the best of Clark, Williams, Widdop, Currie, King, ratchford and Ashton then we will hurt a lot of teams. I think the new additions could be good for us too and charnley being used more as an offensive winger could be a breath of fresh air too. |
