Well I hope the wire game lives up to the new expectations of everyone and April turns out to be a great month for Saints and gets us back in the fight.

All the best I'll be reading with interest how the games go.

I have a feeling we'll come crashing down on Friday - Wire won't be making the same mistakes as Leeds.

Going to be a test this week with the short turnaround, we have often come unstuck in the bigger games when playing on Sunday and then Friday. The players have to get in their faces from the off like the Leeds game, sore or not. To be honest, considering the pessimism with the performances of late, I'm just pleased that they have shown that the squad is more than capable if they play to their potential.

I'm not sure that will be such a big problem but we won't get the chance to do to Warrington what we did to Leeds, that is shock the fook out of them. Smith will be analysing that video very closely and their defence will be well prepared for us.

I think the short turn around might suit us. We were on fire on Sunday and it'd be nice to see us replicate that footie again on Friday. Wire are a different kettle of fish in terms of consistency and probably defence but they aren't unbeatable. We need to move their defence around in the same way that Wigoon did when shifting the ball out wide. I know Wello has had a couple of belting games in a row now and when you saw the way that Tomkins zoomed through those spaces out wide maybe he can do the same for us to win it.

Wire make mroe mistakes than anyone, the problem is that their strike power means they do not need to build momentum like other teams. They can take you down from anywhere.

We need to make sure when we've got the ball we make it count, as there's no way (i'd have thought) that we'll keep them to 6 points like we did Leeds.

Wellens and zoom aren't two words usually found in the same sentence!

Sorry, when I say mistakes I meant the mistakes of a sloppy approach and underestimating Saints, not dropped ball etc.

Wire wouldn't underestimate us regardless of form - after the way we made their lives a misery for years their fans would want to smash us into the ground.

We were good at the weekend, very good, but Leeds didn't turn up. Wire will.

Especially at home. If we get them on the back foot thought the crowd will definitely sense it and it'll be interesting to see how vocal the support is if we start getting on top. Will they crumble or will they shout for their team?
