Won't a majority of the warrington first choice 17 be over 30 next year? Looks like you've simply stood still whilst the teams around have moved forward. On paper, at the moment in time I can only

1, Wigan/Saints
2, Saints/Wigan
3, Leeds/Huddersfield
4, Huddersfield/Leeds
5, Warrington/Hull KR

What warrington fans forget is this season, Warrington had the least injuries of any team, whilst the top 3 teams decimated by injuries were Saints Leeds and Wigan. If these 3 teams can stay injury free Warrington will be 4th at best and once again, easily ejected from the play offs

Cunningham will be a big loss to St H but maybe it could give Roby a new lease of life. Perry and LMS will certainly bolster their forward pack.

Wigan has simply improved their squad by signing better players. Which will make them a force.

Lets just wait and see eh?

We have a more attacking fullback and a decent goal kicker coming next season that should help.

I also think we'll finish around 4th next season, we have quite a few players in the 30+ club and that could tell against the teams that have recruited well for next year like Saints and Wigan. Leeds havn't really shown their hand for next year, their in a similar boat to us.

Our biggest problem seems to be strength in depth, our youth system isn't as advanced as other clubs with it being a fairly new regime that took control of that setup. It may be a few years yet before we see that come to fruition, the scrum half spot is still a bit of an enigma, will Tony Smith put more faith in Richie Myler next season or has something gone on that we don't know about. One things for sure and thats Monaghan needs to stay at 9, if you move him away from 9 you lose the real Michael Monaghan.

Like its been pointed out already, we were fortunate with injuries this season. How wwould we cope if we got a similar injury list to that of Saints and Leeds this season, i wouldn't have thought very well because we don't have the luxury of a Matty Smith or a Scott Moore lurking in the background plus we have nowhere near the same amount of youngsters that look ready for the step up like saints have produced in recent times.

It will be a lot tougher next year, just look how Salford have recruited then you have Huddersfield who are steadily improving each year, Hull are just a few players away from being a realistic force again and Hull KR had a decent season this year.

I'm looking forward to next season, some high quality players arriving at other clubs will make it very interesting and a better spectacle.

Do players stop playing well once they hit the big 30?

Funny to see Wigan fans rating Saints again at the start of the season you lot had a thread writing them off this year and the next few years.

Mummy duck is now thoroughly depressed. SHE was the one that was famous for losing five in a row........until the 2011 GF!!!!!:



This year Saints beat us on points difference (rather dodgy try if you ask me!!) and Wigan were not that far ahead. The one area we were VERY bad on in 2011 was goal kicking. If we had a good reliable CONSISTENT kicker we would have been ahead of Saints and possibly challenging if not beating Wigan for top spot. That was how close 2010 was and if we can be that close again next year I'll be happy.

Only when the likes of the Evans brothers step up into Super League will we know what we have.

I don't think our Youth set up is that bad. Riley, Harrison, Cooper are all first teamers now. But overall our squad is a lot less likely to deal with injuries as well as St Helens did.

We have an injury stance as "well we lost to crusaders but we had 5 first teamers out".
St Helens have one of "we don't care who is out injured we'll just have to beat them without our first team players".

If all our old players are more susceptible to injuries how come they never got injuries this year?

Although it is obvious that youngsters are much more capable of playing on through injuries and recovering quickly - see Kyle Eastmond for proof.

As for us standing still whilst Wigan and Saints have progressed recently there are two Challenge Cups that might beg to differ, let alone going from 10th to 3rd but don't let that stop anybody dragging Warrington down whilst bumming up Wigan fans.

Apart from the last post, this is a ludicrous thread. I don't think there is a shred of evidence for the suggestions that we have little strength in depth or that our squad is older than it should be. Wigan did not have an injury crisis this year either.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg

Is anybody in Wigan aware of this injury crisis?

We've had a lot of injuries at different points this year, fortunately though they haven't been to key personnel like Sam or Richards or Fielden, i.e. the players people notice.
