The 4/5 days issue that Hemmings got so uptight about is not the issue and wasn't why Briers had a whinge, which surely Eddie should realise!! (maybe not)

The issue is that coming into potentially the biggest game of the season Warrington will have had 5 days recovery time after playing away from home against the 3rd best team in the league wheras Wigan will have had 8 days recovery time after a gentle run out against Hull FC!! Both Warrington games live on SKY giving them no flexibility to change!!

Can you imagine the furore if the boot was on the other foot?...........Shaun Wane would be demanding the intervention of Internatinal Rescue and a knighthood for Sam Tomkins!!

To try and claim the Warrington board is somehow worse than the others is just being ridiculous. There are idiots on every board and they are always the minority - perhaps you would be able to engage in reasonable conversation with the rest of the fans if you avoided such patronising comments as the ones above.

what a weapon.

Northampton Saint might actually be a bigger Tommy Tanker than Odem.

Where did I make any such comment? I merely stated there were a lot of planks here as indeed there are elsewhere. I wade just as knee-deep in half-wits on the Saints board every day trust me.




Point proved I think

Oh and thanks for adding me to your signature by the way. It amuses me to see the import you clearly see in my opinions. I can hardly blame you - if I were a knuckle-dragging lowlife then I would find me enchanting and worthy of such adoration too. Good for you.

You appear to have forgotten your post from half an hour agoI thought SaintsFan was bad. NOW I know why I avoid the Warrington board like the veritable.'"

agreed... file next to odem, king warrior, trent whatshisname and the loony with the calming pills.

oh no Jay..... he is quite clearly winning this.... anyone can see that.

he is coming away with his reputation fully intact... of that there is no doubt.

I feel everyone should at least have a chance to be honest and admit their mistakes (I did myself earlier in this thread), but it is hilarious when they refuse.

Guys... Northampton SAint is a bit of a plank but doesn't he have every right to change his mind after the resounding point made by Wire?

As much as we like to make fun of certain Wigan fans who change their mind on things when they are backs against the wall (the signing of Ben Cross being the sweetest) Northampton Saint was making a point about a team that had been dry bummed by Saints a few months ago and were looking wobbly for the first part of this year. The challenge was set (and he was partaking in a little bit of 'banter'- whatever he calls it) and after his team was thoroughly dismantled he changed his mind. Surely that is commendable.

Of course if he had just admitted that instead of still playing the bobby big balls, he would be more respectable. His bull about Saints pack and any other shreds of comfort are jsut that; comfort he has to make himself believe. Surely the bigger laughing stock would be if he still claimed that Saints were better than us and weren't still declining (which they really seem to be), maybe?

Oh and Northampton Saint, St Helens' pack isn't better than Warrington's. It was proven conclusively on Monday. Also, your reference to Playoff jitters. We only didn't show up the the playoffs ONCE. Last year we lost by a penalty to the eventual champions (and a team that destroyed you AGAIN at OT). As much as you'd like to attach the tag of bottlers to this WArrington team; 2 Challenge Cups and a League Leader's shield says you're full of e!

And he seemed such a nice man at first as well !

Meanwhile, back to the thread ....

What about Tyke. I have to own up and say that at the start of the season I never really thought he would make the grade. But this season he has really pushed on and is a bit of a revelation. He still looks a bit light when he mixes it with the bigger forwards, but his speed and sidestep make him a dangerous player towards the end of the match when players are starting to get tired and gaps appear. He also works hard, and his defence is noticeably improving. A couple of people have mentioned him on this thread and with good reason, I think we have a really good player in the making.

Late(r) developer ? Or proof we have an excellent coaching set up ? Competition for a place bringing out the best ?
