We lost. It's sport. We all have off days at work.

pity you have um al the time against Saints

Since 1992





A long off day against Saints

1994 actually.

we were robbed that day

I'm sure it will be the ref's fault when we do win.

That was more than an off game Graham, we looked low on energy, we had very little intensity and the tactics were all wrong for the conditions.

Very easy to get carried away with the negatives.



Ask Catalans if we're a side who can improve over the course of a fortnight. If we do our jobs next week, it'll be a very different Warrington that turns up 80 mins away from the GF, wherever we go.

Ive every confidence in the team that we can improve in a fortnight period which you refer to, thats in dry conditions though as were one of the best (if not the best) team to watch in dry conditions.



Do we have a plan B for when the conditions get testing, we didn't at Knowlsey Road earlier in the year and we didn't last night. The problem you have when you get a team thats like to play rugby by throwing the ball around is the weather can be a big leveller, look at Leeds beating St Helens at Old Trafford in testing conditions, saints were the most impressive team going into that final and they lost because Leeds played the conditions better.



We need that plan B game for when we come up against the bigger sides in knock out rugby, its for when the conditions don't allow us to throw the ball around Harlem Globetrotter style in keeping the ball alive.



Monaghan needs to get back to hooker asap as well, he isn't a scrum half and neither is Clarke a Monaghan, Roby or Cunningham influence on a game.

We won our last wet weather game, at Wigan.



We're capable, we just conceded a couple of soft tries last night that gave Saints a lead and given the conditions, we forced ourselves to chase a game that couldn't be chased. Had we kept the game at 0-8 longer, we could have started taking the two, kicking deep, etc etc, but we didn't, we gifted Saints two pretty soft tries, then they scored a well worked James Graham try and we were 10 behind which in those conditions, was always going to be tough to pull back. Missing the goals didn't help, if we'd been 12 in front, taking the two making it 14 etc, would have made Saints task extremely hard.



We need to get Monas back at hooker, agreed. Myler needs to prove his worth, quickly. We need Hicks back, I like our Wembley backline (1-5), Bridge could be a better option at 7 right now, if Smith really is on a downer with Myler, which it looks like he is given he wasn't in the 17 last night until things changed. Bridge set up the two tries last night, sure, but I like having King & Atkins at centre, taking the ball out, and King would muscle up to a Meli, Senior etc better.

Smiths' the man when it comes to knockout Rugby. Just ask Leeds, unbeaten in a knockout compettion with us for 2 years and never lost a game of knockout Rugby (yesterday wasn't knockout Rugby). I still think we'll be at Old Trafford on the 2nd October 2010.

I know we won that game in the wet, i had a feeling you would bring it up.



Wigan arn't saints, they don't put the same kind of pressure on you as saints do,they don't make the same kind of yardage with their pack that saints do. They also don't have the same winning mentallity bred into their present club like saints do, Wigan won the leaders shield but will they be winning a major trophy this season ?



I'd say no to that, i still think the winner of the GF will come from the saints semi final at Knowsley Rd. Wigan have some decent players but they don't have enough of them, their pack isn't as strong as either saints or Warrington's either.



I don't see Wigan as any kind of bench mark, saints is a different matter.
