Brilliant post you cnut
Yeah another good win, I'm getting quite optimistic about this season now, smith has completely changed us. Still half expecting us to fall apart like we usually do after a decent run of form.

What a grade A pillock. Clearly has a lot of talent and if he put his mind to it has the ability to be up there with the best but has cock all between his ears it seems.
12 months or more?

Yes, prize prat as you say. Pardon my ignorance, but would cocaine be regarded as performance-enhancing? Obviously it's a major scandal either way, and he could get anything between one and two years ban.
Yep.. Slater, Inglisx2, Thurston (MoM) and Boyd with the tries. As expected, NSW couldn't deal with the strength and skill of our backline, we were up 18-2 within 20 minutes or something. It was great, we completely rolled over them early on. Unfortunately, they staged a second half fightback as a bit of luck went their way, and our forwards got tired. QLD were by FAR the better Origin side - 3-0 whitewash is on the cards I say
Well, almost there I hear, another convincing QLD win. Not being able to see these... another reason to hate Setanta!
Great game and great win, just got back this afternoon from Barcelona. Despite a fecking terrible performance from the referee, especially in the first half, we stayed in the game and well deserved the win. Definitely a team in form, just got to keep it up. That performance should beat Hull at the weekend.
Didn't feel like there were quite that many there but both sets of fans definitely made a great effort, and created a good atmosphere too
As for Hock, not sure why cocaine is classed as a performance enhancing drug but he definitely knew the rules, he's a good player and Wigan will miss him in my opinion.
Big game tomorrow JG, I fancy us to get a result finally. Might still stick a few quid on saints though to lesson the blow if we get beat again, can get evens on a saints win.
Scott Donald's last-minute try broke Wakefield's hearts as the Rhinos claimed a dramatic 32 - 30 win at Belle Vue.
Warrington really need that breakthrough win against Saints. There have been so many occasions the match has been snatched away from them in the last seconds of these encounters that it must be difficult for the players to maintain belief as they get to the last twenty minutes or so.
I'm not too hopeful tonight to be honest, we've got two key men in Long and Cunningham missing and in these games you can't afford to miss those kinda players.
I hope i'm proved wrong and Kyle Eastmond has a stormer (this kid is gonn be special by the way).
This for me is our biggest derby match now, the Wigan one seems to have lost its edge whereas the wire games are always tense nervy affairs.
can't wait now though!!!
That didn't quite go to plan, maybe we're saving the win for Wembley if we get there.
Indeed.
Indeed.
Eastmond played a great game. And Graham didn't seem to be off the pitch which was an incredible effort.
For us I thought Harrison stepped up. MOTM for me. The better team just kept the pressure up at the end but no doubt that we missed Briers, Morley and Hicks more than Saints missed theirs. Though I thought all of our players gave their all.
Great game mind. Disappointed there is no rerun on Sky tonight, couple of things I want to see again. Gilmour seemed to be very late on Mathers in the first half, looked terrible in real time and it was right in front of us, would like to see it again to be sure of intent.
Deserved win for Saints in the end, but happy with the Warrington performance overall.

He's going to be some player! To take control of a game like that at just 19 is a sign of a star in th emaking imo
Firts point- that to me is a sign of us clearly being the superior team. We missed imo 3 more influential players yet coped better than the Wire. In honesty we missed 4 with cayless being absent.
Second - No intent really, just late.
No doubt, you have much better strength and depth. Injuries were always going to affect us more than you. You were worthy winners tonight but I was proud of Warrington to a man tonight.
Like I said looked terrible in real time, often look completely different on a replay.
Oh oh oh, I forgot to post this, as I was at the JJB on the night so...
SALFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't feel too bad, they are a brilliant team

yeah their great aint they - where abouts in the league are you again?
Only just watched the Wire-Saints game on a re-run. Great, great game and yet again Saints showed they have that bit more when it comes down to the crunch. And as predicted by JG, the lad Eastmond was superb.
Leeds 24-14 Hull KR
St Helens 20-22 Wakefield Get in there Wakey!!
Appalling kicking from Saints.

Another defeat for poor Quins. Dornie's due back next week though thank God.
On the above subject of Gaz Hock, he's a twat. I heard from a v reliable source he was snorting in Paris with England last month.

Two more great games on Sky this weekend, Wigan v Leeds and the Hull derby. The standard of play at the moment is out of this world.
Bollocks, we should know by now what's going to happen in these close games. It's like bloody ground hog day watching warrington.
Leeds 24-22 Warrington
Gateshead 34-34 Batley - bollox, forgot about this. Wished I'd gone now to cheer the Batley lads on.

Big one today for Quins, think the bookies are being overly generous to them but with a few lads still missing and the form so breathtakingly bad at the moment it's hard to see it. Would be nice to start turning things around now.
Yes, the Wire are experts at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, as they say. Got a ticket for the semi next week, hope that's a different story.
Yeah let's hope so, really could go either way this one.
Come on salfud!
Nice one Warrington.....won 26-39
She wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May
And when I asked her why she wore that ribbon,
She said it's for the Wire and we're going to Wembley.
Couldn't be happier

Nice change to have a couple of different sides in the final.

First time I've logged on this weekend. Great game at Widnes yesterday.
All credit to Wigan for a great comeback but fully deserved win for Warrington.

Whilst gutted having not made the final, it's definitely good for the game to have two teams like Warrington & Hudds in the final.
Hudds for the win imo

Huddersfield for me too J but it's good to see the Wolves there too...
