Tough one to call. Wire were excellent yesterday but the Quins were missing key players and once it was 28 nil it was one-way traffic. Cas on the other hand pulled off an away win at arguably the toughest opponents of them all so can feel confident of their abilities. Telly or not let's hope for 8k plus ( I expect Wire's early season wave of enthusiasm to carry around 1,000 or so to The Jungle ).

Six grand crowd at best..... probably 5.5k

I am preparing myself for an "after the lord mayors show" performance. This is one of those games where, if you have ambitions to achieve what we did last year we have got to win. That is not to take Warrington lightly, they are a good side.

Leeds was a bonus, we're not going to finish above them - Warrington is a game against a team we should be competing with if we have top 8 aspirations - so this week competing matters more than last week.

All that means - us by 8 or them by 20 for what my opinion is worth.

I'm seriously thinking this could be a win for you lot.
We were very impressive yesterday but like you's we've had inconsistency issues.
I'm going for a Cas win I think but if we do it it'll be by a big margin as you haven't turned up.

Likewise to us if we want to be finishing in the top 4/5 we need to be we really need to be winning these games.

Should be a good game.

I think it's more 12 v 12 because he's that bad for both teams it has the same effect of both teams having a man sent off

Why? i'm not sure how we would be expected to benefit from his not being a very good ref. iirc we have lost more games than we have won under halibert.

I forgot about the TV element, we have seemed to perform very badly on tele - we will need 20 start I recon - although the bookies will give us 8....
