Martin has played a lot of minutes and taken more than a few whacks and Tindall needs more game time, otherwise Martin keeps his place on merit. Start with a big pack, hence Sao in the second row. Need to be able to clear our lines effectively and defend hard on their line as I think Warrington will look to quell our enthusiasm and run over us early on.

too much speed for us
Leeds made easy metres against us.Warrington will do the same
good call on Martin.The lad has done very well and has a big future but like you i would rest him and give Tindall a run

Grix said the other day that if Trueman is fit, he'll start rather than come off the bench.

Never been a fan of bringing a player straight back into the first team following a serious injury so it has to be managed well.
Dont think it matters whether he starts or comes off the bench as long as he doesnt get flogged for 80 minutes

Wire got a few injured and resting a couple of forwards also .

I agree.

Coming back from a horrible long term injury, I would have rather played him in the Reserves this week and brought him back at London.

I’m sure he’s been running and moving well in training, however an initial low key run out in the Reserves would be a less risky first step back and a confidence builder than an SL away game at Warrington who will be after the 2 match points and probably running at Jake whenever they can.

thats so you only waste one sub, its annoying as hell having someone coming back from injury, come off the bench, then go off again, you've used 2 interchanges there

Good point, I would only expect him to play 40 minutes tops, its all about London away next week for us sadly.

Problem is a lot of the reserve games are on 4G which is to bigger risk

Warrington come into tonight on the back of a disappointing defeat last time out, and a narrow win over Leigh prior to that. Just hoping that they don't take it out on us this evening!

I'm not wholly convinced by them from what I've seen so far, still a bit too hit and miss. They still look better on paper to me than their actual performances tend to deliver, but with always the feeling that when they click they are formidable opposition for anyone (as in the Saints cup game).

From our perspective, I just want to see us being committed and energetic again, following on from last Sunday. Think in the circumstances that is about the best we can hope for. The first game against them back in February was one of our (relatively) better performances so far, and if we can go into tonight with renewed energy (and a little better luck than we had in February) than I wouldn't have too many complaints, given where we are.

Re: Warrington Away : Fri May 03, 2024 1:30 pm  

Think we'll give it our best efforts again and go in at half time in not too bad a position, but ultimately lose by 30 or so. Think our fitness will give out 2nd half and they'll score a couple of late trys. Bit luke the last time we played them.
Discipline seemed much improved last tiem out. Need to replicate that again because if we fall back into giving away constant penalties and restarts then Wire have the weapons to run up another 50 against us.
