Can't wait for Thursday now. Looks a good Wire side that.

As mentioned by other posters, we need to be strong down the middle. Man for Man, Wire's starting pack is up there with the best in the league. Where we can gain advantage is off the bench. If the bench players can make a big impact, it gives Burrow more to play with the extra gaps being made available.

Going for a very close Leeds win, but would not be shocked to see Wire win by up to 10 due to ring rust etc.

Ring rust - ouch, sounds painful

Tbh, I think most SL teams will s h i t themselves looking at this Leeds pack and Wire are no exception.

Well Warrington did beat us twice last season when he was in charge.

This game will be the 6th time in the last 10 Leeds/Wire games he's been the ref, it's one of his gimmes of the season.

What a ref to test our new Captain out with

As long as he's bad both ways that's OK. Wasn't it Child who called Myler for offside in the last minute of the play off semi at Wire in 2011 to allow Kev to kick us to victory? The one thing I'll say for Child is at least when he's bad he's making honest mistakes rather than being influenced by certain players/teams.

Achurch would seem the biggest absentee. Unless he's injured again he's dropped behind Walters.

I know games arnt won on paper and Wire have been on fire in pre season. But that Wire 19 looks pretty thin.

It's a game that can go either way. I see us only getting beat through individual brilliance rather than losing the battle.

Expect a full run out of the new rules then.

That was Ganson mate.
I've got a couple of pals who areWarrington fans, and one has stuck a Tenner on them to clean up the lot this year, as they are by far the best side in the comp, with the most fearsome pack. I don't get it myself.

Re: RD1 | Warrington Wolves : Wed Feb 03, 2016 9:10 am  

We are no where near the best in the comp, my hope is just a shot at the top 4 this year!

Re sgtwilko: agreed, we look thin. Dodds and Bailey are both out injured! However G King & Cox, while not exactly striking fear into your minds, will hold their own when they come on.

Ganson was referee.

The call that Myler was offside came from the touch judge on that side, which was James Child. Seem to remember Ganson confirming that on the audio when the Wire players questioned the decision.

Ganson "not my fault blame him".
As has been said this appointment will sorely test McGuire's tact & diplomacy.
I just hope all the discussion after the game is about the players & not the ref.
I doubt it somehow.
Can't we have Thaler for all our games, surely as treble winners we deserve that at least.
