You're the most obvious favourites since the Wigan-always-win-it days. Unless someone comes along and proves a Melbourne-esque level of cap rorting, you'll win the double this season. Bar a red card in a semi or final I don't see how anyone else is going to challenge you.

yeah, we all thought that in 2011

I'd say 2011 team was better than 2016 version but SL has fallen overall so possibly level

Nothing beats that 2011 team, that has been the greatest team in my lifetime, we had the perfect balance throughout the squad and we took the mick out of teams.

Just went to sleep when it mattered, but that is the greatest team NOT to win SL.

Still have nightmares over the Semi Final. Penalized for accidental offside I think it was and Sinfield slotted it over on the hooter. Think this was after King had a try ruled out for being short when for my money he was clearly on the line. Definitely a fantastic team that I haven't seen bettered in my years watching Wire.

I'm not so sure about the accidental bit; but, what a heartbreaker. I'll never understand why Briers didn't drop a goal when he had the chance a few minutes earlier.

Traumatised.

Well I did say it when it happened that we need to learn to win without Sandow. I would still prefer all the key men in positions of key areas. That is a natural FB Gidley 6 Ratchford and 7 Sandow.
All this Ratchford is nothing but a centre I've read over and over is proving many poster talk some tosh.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_74166.jpeg



All being fit I suspect we would see them playing the numbers on their back, question then is what to do with Matty Russell, or rather what to do with Lineham?

Well, the question is, what do we do with fullback?

Initially i wasn't keen on the switching last week at widnes, that's molly coddling rusty imo, last night worked ok, but i'd probably just go with leaving penny at fullback full time.

Russell is very one dimensional, don't get me wrong what he does well, he does very well but the more i see him the more i think we should play him similar to Carney (Salford), they have similar attributes.

Who else could do what Russell did last night when he burned up the middle? Penny could in free space; Russell just made the space by knocking players out of the way. Someone else will be injured by the time that Sandow is due back so it won't be an issue, but I'd guess if not, then Ratchford will end up on the bench.

Well that would mean dropping penny or Lineham.
I would much prefer to see Russell off the bench. Fresh against a tyring defence he could be even more effective.

I don't fully agree RD, as surely it's about balance and partnerships particularly as far as HB combo's are concerned. Perhaps Gidley with Ratchford just works as did Gidley/Sandow, as they compliment each other, but would Sandow/Ratchford?

It might do and we might find out during the course of this season, but, if it doesn't then do we conclude that Ratchford isn't a SO?

Darlings of Super League:



If we are suggesting messing with Russell after that performance, the lad might as well pack in because he has no chance of winning over Warrington fans. All of our best sets of six contain a run from him, either in play one or later in the set.
