You really are clueless, we have our strongest squad for years.

No point Sam coming back. We should just give up. Resistance is futile. Everyone knows 2016 is the Year of the Wolfs.

| Yesterday would have been a lot closer had Brown played, there was a 10 minute period in which we didn't touch the ball and Widnes couldnt break some Rorke's Drift like defence. Brown may just of found something. Smith said in an interview they had 31 plays in a row on our 10 line.
We then scored off the set when we finally got hold of the ball and that's when our tails lifted and their heads dropped.
Again though we look to be at our most dangerous on the 60 minute mark, really looking forward to the Wigan game, even if we lose the streak to Hull on Monday.
Both teams and fans are usually well up for this.

| I saw some of the tries during our match on Sky. Some truly awful defending on show, most of he tries were crash overs after one pass from dummy half, or poor kick defence. I think Widnes will lose 2 or 3 of their next 3.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

he played ans was fantastic today, in the first half, went missing the second half, made to look a fool being told to go back and applaud the good following wire fans, i think he wanted a quick escape after being too cocky with his swan dive under the post then turning and grinning at the east stand
as for the game, radford out coached smith today, we changed our starting line up, 7 changes from the derby whilst moaning smith who whinged about the tough easter schedule played the same team virtually that played against widnes, enthusiasm and more energy, if less skill got hull the win today, wire were knackered in the last 10

Yep, sums up my thoughts earlier in the the thread about Wire's lack of depth. Even without significant injuries, they can't afford to rest players.

| Johnson is no Russell
Ratchford is no stand off
We have depth of personnel, just not depth of rugby brains.
Gidley is the glue in that team and the performances in which we have looked suspect coincide with no Gidley im the team

come on we were down one of the in form Full backs in Russell, our best hooker in Dwyer and also lost Gidley who is our organiser..... Ratchford would normally be a luxury no other team has that would fill one of those spots very nicely.. but when all three require filling quite rightly we are going to struggle..
in hindsight penny to fullback and Ormsby on the wing would have been safer but Jack Johnson is a real star for the future and his inclusion is not an indication of a weak squad. Dan sarginson at full back however...???
and struggle we did we lost by a conversion...
we are not all that.....and similarly if you overtake us in the league next week neither will you be....... we have both recently had better starting 13's than what took the respective fields today.....
but I'm still hopefull of a top 4 spot thank you...

| Massive game this one as we are clearly the best 2 sides in SL so far
I'm hoping that home advantage will see us take the win

| Yeah, shaping up to be the game of the season, certainly so far. Shame I can't make it, but I can't take another day off work this week.

| Well I think you'll win this one because we'll have some very tired bodies out there.
Hull match took a lot out of us.
If Gidley and Russell are back we may have a chance, but I doubt we'll be fluent.
We've won a number of matches ugly this year and not played consistently well.
We hit a purple patch against Cas.
I'm looking forward to the match - in particular seeing how you try to deal with Sandow.
Some of the stuff he's done has been unreal. Yesterday he went for a drop goal from 40m out, totally cocked it up and the hull fullback just managed to knock it out of play stopping Lineham getting to the ball in the corner!!
Should be good.

That's pretty much what we'd say about our chances too, I reckon - substitute Saints for Hull and Williams and Farrell for Gidley and Russell. Too close to call, and while it may not be a classic for those wanting fluent, skilful rugby, it'll definitely be exciting!
