Probably the 2nd hardest draw we could have got. Oh well we will get to measure our progress against a top side sooner than we thought.

At the most only the 5th hardest.

1 Wigan away
2 Wigan home
3 Catalan away
4 Saints home

Confidence ,effort & application on the day & we can win.

Sam & the team should all read the Saints training manual beforehand though..."How to play the ref & influence people ".

This. Walk forward and play the ball from 2 metres ahead of where you're tackled and throw your arms around, feign a head injury when under pressure near your own line and lie on in the tackle for ages.

Saints away easier than at home? Ok

Saints have the easiest draw out of all the ties

Only way Warrington win is if saints don’t turn up

Some said that about the 2018 playoff semi final and the 2019 final. You just never know. I am more encouraged now we have seen that Salford have beaten them recently.
