And a good game he had by all accounts.Your point is?

He played for the academy last Saturday....

Maybe Smithy should have played him against the pies instead.

Not sure why but there doesn't seem to be a buzz about ticket sales for this one. Maybe it's the Thursday night Sky factor.

Usually a load of tweets flowing by now about North Stand being Sold Out etc.

I revise my initial thoughts of a 9k + crowd down to 8272

Leigh 14 Wire 36

*Just think they are far too strong & overdue a turnaround* Class all over the park.

Although any team in this league if they get on a roll is quite capable of racking up a few points, I have been very impressed with our defence, we seem to have lost the “we’ll just score more than you attitude towards defence”, so I doubt they will score 30+.

Stewart definitely playing, Riddy definitely not.

I hope Burr continues his promising form also.

Acton first name on team sheet, and Stewart playing

Chris is still there, got his days confused. Empty cans everywhere and at least 6 chicken skeletons

I've heard Chris Hill is having a Ralph Coates hairstyle for the game.

Good luck tonight Leythers.

Unlike some I don’t have an issue with Acton, the only reason I didn’t put him in my team was due to his eye, but he may have fully recovered.

It just shows how we all have different ideas on players and their attributes! Jaimie Acton would be the second forward on my team sheet, after Micky!!

There are some on here who would argue that Jaimie has a problem with another part of his Anatomy, not his eye

I think the best motivation our players can have is pin Kevin Browns interview( in the Daily Mirror today), on the dressing room door!
Its obvious Brown views us as a two pointer, a probable easy game? Looks like Wire have saved Hill to bring him in for one of their 'easier' games


Personally I'd love to beat Tony Smith and my dislike of him, goes back to his Huddersfield Parachute days when Hudds were full time and the rest were Part time, he never gave us the respect we deserved


I'm sure Micky wont have forgotten Smith's criticism, when he left them to join us, after giving Wire outstanding service! Smith's smile is one I can do without tonight!

That point was not lost on me glow, He had quite a shiner on Saturday morning and it may be worth taking him and his eye out of the firing line for an extra week's recovery.

Naughty Charles......

Gareth Hock would be the first name on my pack list.

Paul Cooke on GMR confirmed Stewart starting, Tickle to bench, Green drops out

Bongser last night re-ran the highlights of Warrington's matches in SL so far this season.
They don't seem that far off clicking. Hope that that click is postponed for a further week!

There's a rumour that SKY are going to fit a camera to a WW player this evening. Bongser hopes that this will not result in injury to a guy tackling the wearer. S0d the wearer.

Seem to recall that the BBC trialed "Collision Cam' on Peacock a couple of years ago, but that was merely a mic fitted to him with one cameraman specifically tasked with following JP. They had to edit out most of what was picked up! SKY may find that they have to do the same along with a lot of footage of turf or sickening, swerving shots as the guinea pig looks around to assess the play. They are advertising it as a first. Will it be a last?

Perhaps Charlie knows?

What a win, well done Leigh.

Cheers Jeff....

Thought we were excellent for about the first 20-25 minutes, got a bit wayward coming up to half time but held together well.
Second half was slightly poorer but we were able to capitalise on Wire being seemingly clueless.

Ears ringing from the support.

Could see Hock was up for it from the first carry, clearly tired of Hansen always getting MoM.
Stewart went well but could be up for a ban.
Crooks and Brown stood out for me and Hampshire played very well.
Pelissier seemed a little off today, hoping the beard his lopped off didn't hold any special powers.

Still dwelling on 2 points lost to Leeds but a big game with a good result for us will be more of a gauge of where we are at.

I knew we would win 5 minutes into the 2 nd half , the Warrington subs were warming up , they comprised a 1 st match back Hilly , the young red haired HB , an out of sorts Clarke and an over the hill Westwood , no a huge lot of ' impact '

We had an on fire Gareth Hock , a machine in Harrison Hansen , Jamie really coming into his own and Mickey to ignite us when they came back on

Great result, well done!
