When it comes down to it, there are 17v17. All across the field is very evenly matched. I reckon it will be won and lost on tactics. Tony Smith is a bit of a whizz. Even if we are being dominated across the field in the first half we tend to come out in the second half with a different game plan that saves the day. Mr Mcguire is a bit of an unknown entity for me. He's certainly created a well drilled, fit, confident side during the off season. The test is whether that is enough to see you through or whether he has the nouse to change things mid game and have his players stick to it. If he manages that you will win. Me personally, I have faith in Tony fix the issues if and when they arise.

Thanks for coming on and offering some decent insight into the match. The fact that since, well, Sunday both sets of fans have been sniping back and forth about each of their teams pros and cons just shows that Warrington & Wigan are on the up. We have shown over the first two games we are the two teams to beat. With Saints and Leeds losing to teams you wouldn't expect them to lose to early on, we are currently the benchmark of the league this year. The game should be a blackbuster and is genuinley too close to call. We both have decent forwards, a young superstar in the making HB & a genuine belief we can do it this year. He's to October 2nd, May it be a Wigan vs Wire final.

I take it you didn't go to the 2008 World Cup then, Unlike some!

I honestly believe it will be won by the side who has the better discipline.

I think the kicking game will have more of a bearing than that. Ours has been superb since the addition of Deacon to tutor Sam - His kicking was awesome in the HKR game.

That will be a big part of the result but unless its unbelievably one sided, I can't see how the pen count will pick a winner.

What was the Wire pack in the pre-season defeat to Wigan?

And we were poor in comparison to the Hull KR game really.

Wouldn't say we were poor. We were...rusty. It was only the second time they'd played together in 3 months or so. Our defence was solid it was the attack that let us down. We have shown - with 70 points in 2 games, we've sharpened that up.

He is if your using my 6 year olds definition of the word...

I just can't see how warrington will break down this defence other than with kicks so we have to be really on the ball.

Pressure on Briers & Mylers kicking game. Get one or two guys charging up on them everytime they go for a kick. One thing we have lacked in previous years is the ability/fitness to pressure kicks.

Briers for sure needs pressure putting on him, the kicks he put in against Cas were completely unchallenged.
