Not convinced its been a case of Leeds being back on top form tbh, by the sounds of it Wire have had plenty of ball and just didn't take advantage in the first 40 minutes, second half they've sounded very scrappy. Added to that Leeds have hardly blown them away tonight, hanging on a little bit these last 10 minutes.

agreed mate, some wire fans come on here and make us all seem stupid and like we have no knowledge of the game and for that i apologise!

The thing with Warrington so far this year is that they are winning the games that they are expected to win! Frequently in the past that has not been the case. Also contrary to the views of some they aint "had their s handed to them" by anyone which at the halfway point of the regular season has got to be a big positive.

As I see it they haven't yet had any must win games this season. Since Tony Smith has been coach I would say they have had 4 must win games, 3 in last years CC and one in this years. They have impressively performed in and won all 4.

Personally I'm absolutely delighted with the way things are going for the Wolves this year. I will judge the SP of the new found optimism when the "must win" games come around. Meanwhile I'll enjoy watching Warringtons attacking brand of rugby and the best defence in the league!

I agree with most of the posts there, however the one thing i'd be concerned about from a Warrington point of view is that this year was your big recruitment year, with big signings like Myler and Atkins joining with Solamona. As well as the year before with Monoghan and King etc, whereas Wigan (who are ahead this year already) and Saints (who are matchin you stride for stride) both expected to strengthen in the summer.

For us in particular I expect to see 3 or 4 fringe first team players replaced with 1 or 2 top class players who should instantly become some of the better players at the club. I know next year you have signed Brett Hodgson but will you be able to keep up again next year if all the teams around are improving greatly?

One thing Warrington can't be accused of in recent times is under recruiting.

I expect several ins and outs again for next year none of which will weaken the squad and in fact I expect Warrington to continue to improve both by recruitment and direction!

Whether they will be able to live with Wigan and Saints remains to be seen!!

At the minute I'm looking forward to how the rest of this season unfolds.

I wasn't saying you have under recruited. In fact i'd go as far as saying you have the strongest team on paper due to Leeds' poor season so far, but still with all the positive recruitment you have done the last couple of years you aren't ahead of a few teams who are in a transition stage (arguably Saints will be even more in that with Cunningham et al leaving next year) but we are coming out of that a bit now with the team based on a strong number of quality wiganers.

I think if we could get a top class prop in and perhaps a SH we'd be up there with the strongest squad in the league, we probably already the most depth just lack a bit of quality in the front row.
