Another great victory for a depleted Warrington side really enjoyed that there does seem to be some spirit in the camp from senior players, the younger lads and those on the fringe.

A great performance by a very young Wire side which hopefully bodes well for the future and sees the club moving forward with plenty of home grown talent. Talking of moving forward the very aptly named Moving Forward wasn't far off the mark with their predictions and bagged 9 points the rest of us trailed behind as follows

Disappointing doesn't even cover it nor does at least we can concentrate on the league as it's all getting a bit predictable when we play Salford. Timing is everything in sport and this week's top spot was shared between AC Wire and Moving Forward who made every minute count. The rest of us well the least said the better

Another defeat snatched from the jaws of victory (it's all getting a bit predictable these days unfortunately) but only Sir Adrian Morley saw it coming. However,13 was unlucky for our Adrian as Wanderer pipped him to top spot with a well timed first try prediction. The rest of us well there's always next week
