Is Simon Moran willing to put some barges on?

The only problem we've got is if it raining on the night we will not compete. It's just the way we are.

It's a good job we got a dry day at Wembley isn't it.

Warrington play well only when its dry is yet another myth.

The picture does look like a lake but thankfully is a good drop below the stadium, it would take some serious rainfall to climb the step to the top and would probably end up with the majority of the town being flooded too, if water levels ever rose that high.


There is a bridge on that road and the road dips down for the bridge, making the lake effect. It will stop fans getting to the stadium from that side though. So the away fans may want to bring a snorkel.

Unless the flooding outside the stadium becomes dangerous to spectators, or the pitch becomes waterlogged I can't see the game being changed, but it does bring up the serious point of 'what if'. Realistically the game cannot be postponed/delayed so I wonder when, if necessary, any decision would need to be made? They can't decide at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon to move the game to Widnes!

The could have Widnes (or the Haliwell Jones) on standby for Sunday.

If the roles were reversed, would you want to give up home advantage and play away, or would you prefer to play at a neutral venue? I'm pretty certain that IF the game was to be switched (which I seriously doubt it will be) then it would be Widnes (the iPitch is also in their favour).

I would imagine that neither Sky or the two clubs would want to delay the game, whoever won it would then have two days less to prepare than Leeds [size=50(or Wigan)[/size.

The joys of summer rugby

I wonder how much water the i-pitch can cope with before it starts to pool on the surface?

To be fair during that period of bad weather in the final we had our worst spell of the game.

I am not convinced we have enough self control in very wet conditions. We are a very impatient side (which has been a good thing more than not in good conditions).

I'll be worried if the weather is still like this on Sat. Saints have shown this year that they can do the no frills stuff very well. How many trys of theirs came from our unforced errors last week? Lots.

Move the game to Widnes now. It's ten times easier to get a train from there to Manchester after the match than it is from the town that public transport forgot.

I really hate St. Helens!
