Credit where credit is due, this team has exceeded expectations and could even be exceeding “best case scenario”. With 2 big, experienced players back in Dudson and Philbin to compliment the team from the first few rounds, you can’t really see this team losing. Williams and Drinkwater have displayed superb control and game management and the pack have done their job.

Lots of improvements still, but it looks like I was wrong about Mr Fitzpatrick and Mr Powell.

2 more, cas and Hull. Back for the Wigan game.

Led to believe Dudson won’t be playing.

We've got Catalan away before Wigan, he should be available for that game.

I’m sure last week Matt Davis started at hooker, was Ipanema coming back from injury does anyone know?

Ipape got injured in the WC and didn't have much of a preseason as a result. He's getting closer to full fitness and played 60 mins against Sts(replaced Davis after the first quarter and played the rest of the game). He was still looking a bit rusty in attack but was phenomenal in defence including sitting Alex Walmsley on his backside multiple times.

Saw the match on Wiretv.
He had a decent game. Made some strong carries.
I hope it's just a rotation thing.
Joe is a bit of a later starter - you often forget he is 30 but he's just starting to establish himself.

Yes, I only saw it on WireTV. My comment wasn't really a criticism as mistakes are part of the game. They just stuck out because we had very few mistakes overall. I think he had two knock ons and a high shot penalty.

He got 7, we played 4, he’s left with 3 including Leigh.

I’m a little concerned reading the article in the Warrington Guardian regarding James Harrison with him going to London on Tuesday to see the knee specialist. Read into it that the club can’t diagnose the problem locally and basically sent him to London for a consultation with a top specialist, maybe the surgeon who looked after him previously.
Really hope I’m proved wrong because of his early season form as I’ve previously quoted when he first signed Powell brought him to this club nearly 2 years ago to be the No 1 starting prop.

This is a game for Wire to lose. Leigh will be looking to collect 2pts next week at Hull Fc (although not a gimmie) as they are not quite finding their form. You should take this by at least 10pts.
