Come on now, we're above Wakefield by 2 points, what more could we possibly ask for?

#Livingthedream

The point is you are holding Wakefield as a standard we should be aiming for but the reality is they are below us, so that doesn't make sense. St Helens is the standard we should be aiming for.

Well, Toulouse lost. If we are lucky enough to get a win from the next two matches, plus a win against Toulouse themselves, we can relax and focus on next season. It’s bizarre though how we’re technically still in contention for the top six.

Nah, he was referencing effort. If salary is reflective of skill then we have more skillful players than Wakefield. Ergo, if our players put in the effort of those that Wakefield are, we'd all be booking trains to OT.

Instead we're 2 points ahead in the league, rotting in 10th. Nobody should be taking a smug view that we're ahead of Wakefield really

I don't think anyone is?

I remember Wakefield beating us years ago at their place on Sky, John Kear was coaching them he said in the post match interview - a champion team will always beat a team of champions. Can't remember what year it was or who was coaching us at the time but it was a game we were expected to win. I don't think we've moved on much in that regard.

The arrogance of dismissing Wakefield's effort because of their league position is what I am perceiving to be smugness akin to "ha you don't want that effort, they're below us"


It's that mindset that arguably made Ruiz beat Joshua, made Sheffield beat Wigan and probably made Wakefield beat us 3 times this year.

God help us if we think that way towards Toulouse next week "meh these won't have any effort, they're bottom of the league, feet up lads"

There was absolutely no smugness in my post. Trying to emulate how Wakefield play seems daft when they sit lower in the league. We have seen out team put in decent displays with as much effort as anyone but only occasionally. Good win for Wakefield but they are 'not all that'

I didn't say that Wakefield were "all that" - I referenced the effort, desire, etc that they showed last night.

But if people want to read it differently, well there's not much I can do about that.

If we don't show some of what Wakefield showed last night then we are in massive trouble. We cannot afford to drift complacently through the rest of the season thinking that we are better than them so will be fine.

Time to wake up Warrington.....come on Emporer Powell, time to earn your salary.

The title of thread is apt if applied to tomorrow, when Hull KR play Toulouse. A win for Rovers would be more important (in my view, as I'm struggling to see past a tonking at Wigan. If Toulouse get the two league points then it would give them momentum going into the very crucial game with us, and it would also increase the pressure on us against Wigan, Toulouse, and for the other four remaining fixtures. Time to dig out the lucky pants, everyone.

As long as Toulouse keep losing, and we keep that four point buffer, I can sleep a little easier at night knowing that we’re another week closer to the end of the season.

I’ve liked that in the last few weeks Toulouse and Wakefield have played before us, therefore the pressure to win isn’t as great knowing that a loss wouldn’t change the situation at the bottom of the table. I’d dread to think how the team might react to a Toulouse win tomorrow and how it’ll reflect in their performance on Friday v Wigan.

With skill, steely determination, and guts. Stoically redoubling their efforts to ensure the win with style and aplomb

What, crikey, you’re not wearing your lucky underpants yet!

Go sniff em out tout de suit and don them ASAP, and don’t bother with the sling test.

Are we not naming a squad for Friday or have I missed it?
