We are the top 2 teams of the competition and both teams can win, it's as simple as that.

Wire were very good although I thought Saints forwards did'nt work hard enough and therefore did'nt give them the field position to push on, Morley, Westwood et al were tireless and put Warrington in good field position.

Virtually everything went through Briers and even though I'm quite confident we wont give him as much room as Saints did we still have to be on to him quick and break him down, Myler also looks a much more confident player the way he was taking the line on.

should be a close game.

This really could be the match where goal kicking cost's us.

Still, I'm feeling confident. We have to match their aggression in the pack and our back's most make sure their opposite's don't get on the outside of them. That's a biggie if we want to win. Pushing up and out when it's swung out wide against us is also vital.

1)- The younger team has had 3 days extra rest. That's what I will say if we lose.

2)- We're the bestest team in the world, we could even win a gold medal if we tried. That's what I will say if we win.

Whatever happens, at least the horror show of Josh Charnley and Lee Briers hairstyles will be over. In all seriousness if it's a close game which we don't get alot in games between us, I expect us to edge it due to Hodgson's goalkicking. It's all bollox anyway as 1st is 2nd basically.

It's only a friendly anyway

It didn't mate. Myler was very influential and we actually threatened a hell of alot more his side. I think you're getting that impression as he basically does ALL the in play kicking. Myler was outstanding.

The weird, and probably one of the best things, with RL is that though on paper we should beat wire based on how we have been against saints and how close their game was but we all know it doesn't work like that it really could go either way it could be close but there's just as much chance as someone running away with it. I wish I could afford to go its always one of the best games of the year.

Watch it again. Hodgson scored one and made another. Myler was always involved. It wasn't all Briers by any means. Should be a great game on Saturday and RL should be the real winner. Unfortunately I'm at the bloody Olympics in London.

Silverwood won't be refereeing on Saturday.

PS

You think that game was close?

been looking forward to this game like a fat boy loves cheesecake, Heading to Warrington early, plenty of and a good game between the two best teams in British rugby league

thank the lord Sky moved this to saturday

Should be a cracker! Let's hope it's a dress rehearsal for the GF

Saturday can't come quick enough for me, I physically can't wait! Wire looked good, and after watching him tonight, shutting down Briers' kicking game should be a priority, he kicked Saints to death tonight.

Josh better bringing his goal kicking boots with him, could be the difference come Saturday.

Score wise yes. 22-12 isn't exactly a walkover is it haha.

That score flattered Saints a lot!

On paper you should beat us? Why? We could use the fact that we've knobbed Widnes with ease whilst playing reserve players whilst they beat you? I wouldn't even suggest that you had a better team on paper. Possibly only Tomkins, Charnley, Mossop, TL , O'loughlin and Hock getting in our 17.

The sensible thing to do would be to base it on the last three league meetings that have been won with ease by Wire. Although I don't think this will be the case saturday, an extra three days rest is sure to play a part for Wigan.
