Warrington not selling that many tickets, attendance could be 10 - 12 k

I'm surprised success on success for Warrington in recent years, I thought this would be close to a sell out.

The weather too tough for the Wire boys???

Not sure if gusts of wind at 100MPH will create oppertunities or make it a forward battle.

I'd think in the forwards we should have the advantage.

These conditions should suit us. Warrington don't really have a great kicking game in their side whereas we have Luke Walsh's astute game. I'd back our forwards against theirs and this wind will only make the already erratic passing of Ryan Atkins even worse.

Both teams have poor history in the rain.

On the Wire board, lots of whinging about it being a Thursday night game, and to be fair they've got a point. Its a school night so its a no go for kids and anyone who has to look after theres instead of taking them

Some are saying around 10k, but I can't see it. Previously it's always been over 13k.

That's at least a drop off of £30,000k just at a tenner a pop.

Our glory supporting fans will wait till the playoffs or at least the big games in the season (eg against Huddersfield or Leeds).

Not sure on who scores first try, who will get man of the match but I'm predicting a saints win.

Saints 28

Wolves 14
