Lets hope so

We'll let you know how they get on

Has Tony Smith ever lost 3 SL games in a row with Warrington ?

Not.............yet

Bridge is not fit and should not be considered Thursday for me.

What I can't understand is that Russell was one of the top full backs last season and played every week but since the whole teeth issue, he is now thought of as a winger. The issue seems to be behind him now so get him back to the position we bought him for. That would release Ratchford to move to 6 with O'Brien and then let them all battle it out when Myler is back fit.

England is a grafter and had a good first season after a slow start. Just hope he is fully fit though as we need to be firing Thursday as that small club in Runcorn are always up for their cup final.

Forget about last week now, we were poor but we go again. Long season ahead and we'll be in the mix.

I'd go

Russell
Monaghan
Currie
Atkins
Penny
Ratchford
O'Brien
Hill
Higham
Asotasi
Philbin
Laithwaite
Westwood

Sims
Clark
Harrison
England

Bridge
G King

Agree with this fully, we started the same last season and were not far off, we need Ratch in the halves for me as he is capable of creating anything from nothing.

Here's my team prediction:

Penny
Russell
Atkins
Bridge
monas
Ratch
GOB
Hill
Higham
Sims
Westwood
Currie
Harrison

Asotasi
Clark
England
Laithwaite

Philbin (Although IMO he should be in the 17)
G King

Actually, yes. Warrington have lost four consecutive league games under Tony Smith.

I cannot see how Currie warrants selection he has been dire of late and needs some time on the sidelines.

And it is about time players were selected in their best positions.

I agree with selecting players on their best positions but with the players available for Thursday, with my belief that Bridge is not fit, then Currie is the only choice for centre to allow Ratch back in the halves

Really? Would you mind telling me when that was ?

Sacre Bleu !, you are correct. 2010, four SL losses separated by a CC semi and win.

1 Penny
2 Russell
3 Currie
4 Atkins
5 Joel
6 Bridge
7 Ratchford
8 Hill
9 Clark
10 Asotasi
11 Laithwaite
12 Westwood
13 Harrison

Sub
Sims
England
Higham
Philbin

i literally have no idea what team i would like to see ... I think moving Ratchford into the halves is a good idea... he is our best fullback.. but he is also probably our best HB.. we need to get him on the ball more.

Bridge doesn't really deserve to keep his place at 6.. or in the for that matter. If he can prove his fitness and not look like a shadow of his former self then fair enough.

I think playing players in their natural positions wouldn't be a bad idea.

So we have not lost four consecutive league matches under Smith. Question remains - have we lost 3 ?
