Only a year has passed since Wane slagged us off for training with the Roosters in the weeks before their WCC game against Wigan. Will Maguire ask Wane for his blokes to 'play like Saints?' One thing you can guarantee is that TS won't comment.'"
Yeah was thinking this last night, the Neanderthal has conveniently forgot his little hissy fit last year! |

If true then thats rubbish, friendly or not this could be a start of something big and as a club we should be proud to be involved. |

I'm not calling it a friendly as for being shot down again.
However, if it were a game that produced some silverware, I doubt there would even be standing room only available by now.
Saints have nearly tripped what we have sold if correspondence are to be believed.
Our wcs game will mean nothing more than what patriotism it can muster. I for one have more interest in this game v Salford than I have v St G/I. To me there is a lot more at stake loosing on Saturday.

I can't fathom this attitude. Would you have taken the same view when the Australian 'midweek team' played Wire in the various famous tour matches throughout the decades? There was not a gram of silverware on offer but these were full-blooded thunderous encounters. Those of us priveleged to be at the 1978 game ( www.eraofthebiff.com/announcemen ... -roos-1978 ) witnessed a fantastic battle, in which Nicko had even the giant Aussie forwards running scared. Wire against an NRL team? How often does THAT happen? What about making this a powerhouse contest INCLUDING the attendance to try to stir up Aussie apathy towards the international game? Don't you get fed up with the NRL's patronising view of Super League? If so, you're choosing a funny way to show it. Anything less than a full house for us, while Saints have a capacity crowd and I've no doubt the Pies will top 20,000, will make Wire look the 'poor relation' of the three when reports are issued down under. We play Salford every year, twice a year, and you're more excited about that?? I'm stupified, dumbfounded and downright shocked that any serious Wire fan can take such a view. |

St GI are not a touring Australian national side.
You can't fathom because you do not understand.
I'm all up for the challenge and I will be attending but Salford is more important imo as is every other league and cup game we play.

| 7,000 is shocking. I was hoping for a sellout but doesn't look like it's even going to be close. It annoys me when people don't make the effort to attend and make the club look bad with low attendences. A low attendence at this game would be extremely poor.  |

If it is 7k then it is what it is, leave your ego's at the door.

I haven't got mine yet, but will deffo be going. I assume that there are a number of people who like me will be going but haven't purchased yet.
As a guess I think there will be a gate of around 10,500 ish.

Hard to believe it's Warrington's biggest game since to 70's!
I am going but like Yed said it is what it is.
Some want to hype it, but I'm not one to be carried away with it.

I reckon a lot of Warrington fans are awaiting to see what team that St George bring over. If Marshall, Nightingale, Widdop, Merrin, dugan are all set to play then we stand a chance of a decent crowd. I would guess that if we had been playing the Melbourne storm then it would be sold out by now just because of the big 3 Even though they have been hit and miss for the last few years.
It will be a shame if there are 5000 empty seats.
