I see you having a dig at me in a later post. Perhaps you should hold hands with BBW, yes I know, (and it's still Lee Westwood!) as he still wants to play dolls, and completely ignores your plea to let it go.
I have a point and I'll stand by it. Give an argument against if you so wish....my point is Warrington are better than Hull, have outplayed Hull and still got beat. IMO Hull play a brand of football that bores the hell out of me, yes it's effective, so is painting a wall

It sounds trolling but I'm posting on this board not FCs board.

Behave yourself, everyone who disagrees isn't having a go at you they may JUST disagree they may have a point that they want to stand by? Perhaps once in a while ask yourself why you are quite often a lone voice.

I don't want a specific reply thanks as I don't feel as though I had a dig at you or need to justify myself and for the record you brought up that your post might be seen as trolling. I kind of agreed with this and also your thought that we were perhaps the better team on at least two occasions and should have closed them out but didn't.

Let's look at it logically.

1) The squad is only weaker than it was at Wembley (no Sandow, Westwood, Currie).
2) Players are likely to be played out of position again.
3) I cannot see that we will have instilled a "big game management" ethos in 7 days.
4) Hull are playing at home in front of what is likely to be a bumper crowd.
5) Players will be short on confidence and flat as a witches t1t after Wigan.

Only one way I can see this going, and by some margin.

ok ill bite

game at kc, we played numerous youngsters and still beat your near full strength team and we were deserved winners!
game at hj, we handled the conditions better, just and you scored two fortunate tries

wembley, yes you were the better team for 60 minutes, but the game lasts 80!

you keep harping on that your better than us, but after 3 games and 80 minutes your 0 for 3!

you may win on friday, we may win but to say your the better team after 3 games and 3 defeats, well

While I entirely agree with you in most respects, including the ridiculousness of RD's comments, I think you might be exaggerating your prowess here just a little. Our 'near full strength team' had at least 10 players injured, including 5 of the first 17. Your own team was missing 6 of the first 17, I've not forgotten that (in fact both home and away we had 5 first team out and you had 6 out). Wembley was probably the closest we've had to a full-strength team all season.

Anyway, at the risk of sounding like a Wigan fan, I think our injuries have blown our chance of at least the LLS this year - Gidley, Sandow, Currie and Westwood all out on Friday as well as our long-term injuries like Dodds. Do we know which of them will be back in time for the playoffs?

Re: 0dds for friday : Wed Sep 21, 2016 9:26 pm  

It's very likely this weekend will see the most balanced team we've had out all year. Wingers on the wing, centres in the centre and hbs at hb. Fb at Fb.
I can see a Wire win. The kids won't get all kosher at the back end. They'll give everything.

The lack of belief and faith in out own team on this forum stinks.

Why would Smith move everyone around at this late stage of the season, particularly when we know he never does that? It's not 'lack of faith', it's just being sadly realistic based on what we've seen recently...

He can't do anything else than play those available in their recognised positions.

LOL.

It has to be make believe and blind faith to think Warrington will get anywhere on Friday based on the long established record of "falling at the last hurdle", the number of players missing and with an interchange bench that, frankly, should not get near a top 8 side.

Re: 0dds for friday : Thu Sep 22, 2016 5:01 am  

Well I think TS is forced to finally play a balanced side, even if some of the aging playes are not available.

Are we really going to miss.... Westwood? Bench player at best these days.

Let's look at Gidley, slightly disappointing lately, not his fault, still a big loss, but not one we can't ride out for this reason....
TS asking him to be further involved in games than he was asked in the nrl, to play hb over an entire season. It now looks to be taking it toll when we've got a much younger Ratchford, the ploy looks another TS mistake. The sooner he is reverted back to fb the better.

Sandow, sensational in select moments, overall Jekyll and hide.
Questions circulating over his out of club association? I'd swap him for a George Williams tomorrow.

Currie class but he does have the odd quiet spell throughout a game, but we would probably miss involvement the most. However we have plenty reserve in backrowers this season.

I think we'll be OK for FC. I fully expect the replacing fringe players to step it up here.
