Having watched the game on tv I have too say warrington played some fantastic rugby tonight , yeah leaked points towards the end but they have got plenty of time to improve. From what I hear / read , looks like it was a strugle for us to hang on in france. (not good) Wigan lookin great again and even Hudds blew about 30 points last night

Sorry started ranting on!

As Eddie asked are Wires the real deal??

Yeah they probably are. So are Wigan. No biggie.

As a Wire fan who has seen a few false dawns over the years, I can honestly say (with fingers crossed) that we have a side which can compete with, and beat, any side in the competition.

Whilst last year's huge improvement was great to witness, for many Wire fans there was always a sense that at some point the bottom could fall out of it all, and ultimately, it did in the play-offs, which put a tinge of disappointment on a good season......I think these doubts were also coupled with the fact that, for the most part last season, we got quite lucky with injuries and many questioned how we might cope if we were struck with a bit of a crisis in the injuries department.

The impressive thing so far this season has been that we have been lacking some important players in recent weeks, yet it has been hardly noticable.....I think it was probably quite scary for opposition fans to see the likes of Bridge, Atkins, King and Louis Anderson sitting in the stands, coupled with Morley playing a bit part tonight, and yet, we still dismantled Leeds almost at ease.

I certainly don't write off the likes of Saints, Leeds or Huddersfield, but I believe that Wigan and Wire are a bit of a step ahead of the rest in this year's comp.

wire have a good side, but it is very old. a bad run of injuries and they could be in bother

5 first teamers missing already, Morley playing 10 minutes a week, yet have outclassed 2 of the main contenders in successive weeks.....

It's March. No one is bothered.

is about right

I thought Wire looked fantastic tonight for most of the game. They took a bit to get going and they tailed off during the last 20. But in that middle segment they looked every bit potential Grand Final winners.

Old ?
Evans/Riley/Harrison/Atkins/Myler/Cooper/Grix/Blythe/Bridge/McCarthy/Anderson/Williams/Mitchell

All played first team ?

Your key players are, at least older, briers, moz etc
however your conditioning set seems light years ahead of ours as generally (i know theres a few out now) you have had relatively few injuries

I don't think the is any doubt that Warrington are the real deal. There pack is big, tough and work very hard. They have pace in the backs and also very clever player in briers. They have the best coach in super league.

They look to have some great young kids as well.

Who surprisingly got beat by Leeds today.
