I know we have still got alot of rugby to play this season but our season will not be turned around with what we have got on the field.
TS is a great coach i am pleased he is at the wire but nothing will happen this season.

Why not? These are essentially the same players folk were saying could more than hold their own in this league, all they needed was proper coaching...

unfortunately we will need approx 24 points to get in the top 8.

pick 10 games we can win....



a right off of a season ....which is a disaster for the club and its attempts to improve crowd numbers

The weirdest thing is, we are conceding thirty plus points a game on average, Salford nearly forty. Quite strange to be so low scoring even considering the weather.

Rau Power Wins the Day At Salford
Warrington Wolves warmed up for the new Super League season with a 22-18 comeback victory over Salford City Reds.

Paul Cullen's near full-strength side went ahead when Ben Westwood sent Martin Gleeson over for the opening try after just four minutes.

Chris Bridge added Warrington's extras, but Stuart Littler then scored for Salford and John Wilshere converted to level matters at 6-6 going into the break.

Adam Sidlow and Phillip Leuluai both scored converted tries after the restart as the Reds forged their way into an 18-6 lead with 25 minutes remaining at the Willows.

But three tries in a nine-minute spell from Andy Bracek, Jon Clarke and Paul Rauhihi and two conversions from Chris Bridge spared Warrington's blushes.

Wolves got their first glimpse of Chris Hicks who came on in the 60th minute, other noteworthy performances were that of Paul Rauhihi and Steve Pickersgill who both put in powerful performances in the pack.

However, a poor completion rate in the first half showed there is still work to do before the 'real-thing' begins in 12 days time when the Wolves entertain Hull FC on Friday 8th February, kick off 7.30pm, in front of the Sky Sports Camera's.
