duckie I am glad you are feeling more optimistic again these days. A few weeks ago weren't you warning that the 2015 season was the year we may well be seriously fighting relegation?

Now we're on for going unbeaten.....

I await the duckie line after we have next lost a couple of games and looked rubbish, will it be TS's fault and he has taken us as far as he can.....

Whether we finish 5th, 4th or any other position in the top 8 (except 1st) I'm not too fused to be honest .
I want some silverware.
For the first time since TS took over I don't believe this team is good enough to win some and if we get into the play offs we're more than likely to be shown up by one of the current top 4.
I think we lost too much experience / too many high performers at the end of last year and they've not been replaced.
Losing Briers was the killer blow imo.

We've won a few games on the trot and there is always a chance for the guys to improve to 'do a Leeds' an peak at GF time, but it's a faint hope.

I expect this weeks game against Leeds to show how much extra work we've got to do.

I think you and I have views that are more aligned than your shame would permit you to reveal.

My views were very much based on saying from pre season we had question marks over AsItEasi and England which unfortunately prove founded. I guess you agree SC.
On the hb I also said we have the best in SL. I always knew against the grain Bridge was that key.

I got shot down and nobody likes a smart y. But I wasn't wanting to come across arrogant or dismissive it was pure assertion.

That presence up the middle of Bridge and Ratchford will snuff out anything that another British hb partnership can muster.
Bridgeys form got him more attention v Wakey and that in turn freed up Ratchford.
What a fantastic threat we now have.

My optimism about going unbeaten is on the view that we don't receive another injury to a prop and Wood gets back soon.
We've no quality depth in the front row.
One big guy will do it. Then it will defo be 2012 again plus trophies for sure.

Come on the Wire!

i see that this praise of Bridges quality's at 6 are becoming more and more bizarre each week... im sure i also saw you in another thread claim his displays at 6 have lessened the need for a top quality prop.

2 weeks ago you claimed he had solved the goal kicking problem.

he is doing ok in a position he doesn't look fully comfortable in.. His kicking is poor, his distribution is ok, but nowhere near that of a quality 6.. yes he has a running game, but that's about it. and all of a sudden you wouldn't swap him for any other HB in the league?

the last few weeks have all been about Ratchford being fantastic.... You could argue that Bridge has helped that, but for all we know, he could have found that form playing next to Myler..... Bridge has filled in, done nothing wrong and deserves to keep his place... But please stop with all this over the top stuff. It's becoming ridiculous.

I did say that Ratchford and Bridge have perhaps ofset the lack of quality depth in our team, that doesn't however mean we don't need to address it.
I just said if we get another quality prop we will be the team to beat. That ain't over the top that's my opinion and I was asked for it.
But please post what you feel free to talk about.

As this will potentially be the last season under this present play off format i think that potentially Wolves could win a GF from 5th to 8th

I feel that this seasons GF winners will be from Rhinos, Wigan, Saints & Wolves irrespective of finishing positions in the regular season table

I'd say us and pies.

Semi final at best without an out and out midfield general

Are you on some sort of illegal substance?Unbeaten for the rest of the season you say!If I was a bookie I'd give you at least 250-1.Like your optism but come on full strength or not we will lose a few more games that I can guarantee.

If we manage to get past leeds we SHOULD be able to win the remainder of our home games. However, with saints and wigan still to play away plus a trip to catalans in the height of summer means we will NOT be going unbeaten. Ignore rubber duckie, he was one of the ones who wanted us to swap Waterhouse for Kirmond, so he's obviously a wind up merchant.

I can't see a game that Warrington may find a close match until the last 2 of the season in the fixtures
Saints and Wigan.
The temperature may give something for Warrington to think about in France but seriously that is it.
Our next 2 months of games we ought to win. We don't deserve to be contenders if we don't.

I don't recall saying swap Waterhouse for Kirmond?

You must be winding us all up as to quote John McEnroe you can't be serious.

Anyway you need to read more carefully. I said that we are very "capable" and not will.

Ok you both win...were a pile of poop. 250/1.
Pm me I'll have a tenner on that. You no jack about odds pal. You go into Hills and request it. They may give you 9/2 tops. They probably may go 9/4 Wigan.
It's very much harder for Warrington to finish top than winning all of their games and the odds for that are 16/1 at best.
