Whatever happens it would be good to get a derby in the play off, we owe you one this season and I fancy us beating you over both Hudds and leeds TBH.

I would love that....Longy, Orgre and Fitz were gutted they missed the last one

Would be a great spectacle for the game, full stadium kitted out :ROCKS





















Would be the easiest fixture imo


























for us

You would probably announce the gate as 15,000 rather than share the takings!

(its the done thing in play-offs apparently!)

Good idea, the board should get the fans to wear black or whites bin liners as camouflage

Thought all monies from the play offs were pooled and shared out, thats what was said last season.

Oh they'll be trying, but if you offered Leeds the Challenge Cup and fifth right now, they'd take it. While Wire won't put out an academy team, I strongly suspect a few will be rested. Hull have to treat whatever 17 they face with respect, of course. Any game is difficult to predict in SL, but if the bookies give Hull the start in either game that would be very attractive.

So, let's get this straight:
Warrington are at home
Warrington have moved the game to afford them an 8 day turnaround for the Challenge Cup
Warrington are joint second with Saints and in clear danger of losing home advantage to Saints (who it's fair to say are their nemesis in the competition) unless they beat FC
Chris Bridge returns for Warrington this week
Monaghan was rested last week so returns, refreshed, this week
FC are missing 5 of their starting backs, including full back, and both half backs (assuming Tansey gets a ban)
FC haven't won in the regular league at Warrington since 2004

So how much are you betting on FC to win this one?

The only players that didn't appear the week before last year's final were King, Hicks and Higham.

Morley, Briers, Monaghan, Carvell, Westwood etc all played.
