Leeds need only win by one point, Warrington need to cover the other 16 points, but I agree Leeds win is unlikely HKR are playing too well.

To be honest as a Warrington fan SRD are a team we struggle with so I don't care.

They know the options either Saints away or Leigh at home. They must fancy their chances to win both games.

I think fans have very short memories, if you look at modern records only Hull features in the top ten of worst defensive records below previous seasons from Leigh in 2021. The attacking records would be smashed if the amount of big wins were unusually high(they are not). The only records in the last four seasons that have been troubled are best defence by Wigan and Saints. And this includes the periods of closed shop.

I think your view is probably right, extra week for Dufty. Bateman seems to be finding his feat both him and Yates look good signings.

Those 34 must have been Wigan players.

No definitely red was sent off for rest of match, I was playing before and until 99.

Yellow was 5 for a spell and two yellows for a player means he was sent off.

Fair point. Can't have it both ways.

Can't see rovers losing again in the regular rounds, should have beat Wigan.

Still see highlights on YouTube,you struggle to see who actually is sent off or binned even though you know having seen it many times.

Absolute rubbish, no other words need to be used. I do wonder if posters on here have ever played adult RL at any level. RL was always described as a team version of boxing, were players would try to show the hit didn't hurt them even if it did. You would see (even in amateurs) players hit really hard (fair or otherwise) and players would get up and smile just to say is that your best shot. No more, let's not ever call soccer players for play acting.

Yet for over a century they get up far more than stay down, people aren't saying get up if you cannot but players who have got up when they can are staying down to have a player carded.

Would we see players deliberately staying down if no VR was available, I believe we all know the answer.

Maybe that's why Sam struggles with your logic after going down in history for doing exactly that.

You mean like over the last century.maybe we should get rada to sponsor the game.

You know they would react against Waney just because he was Wigan coach, so no prizes for that question. But I believe most of the red cards (Warrington have just 2) are over the top. I know there are a quantity of posters who disagree (the number depends if it's your players) . But I firmly believe they don't represent the view of most fans because I have not met anyone who thinks the RFL clampdown is improving the game

Hopefully not, I would stand by what he said, many agree with him.

I think you'll see Warrington won't appeal, he will be back for the play offs, we have plenty of cover we are third and more than likely stay there if we win all three or lose all three.

I don't think any were bad, in the NRL none are red only yellow, the NRL understand when over refereeing spoils a spectacle.

You need to look again, Vaughan was not upright he was lower and Trout was not upright, saying it's a red card is no more than a observation because he issued one. Burgess goes even higher in my estimation for saying what it is I only wish we could time travel to before Powell was coach and eliminate the damage he did. I have seen many embarrassing reds this season quite a few with players purposely staying down to take advantage of the way refs and VR are judging tackles only the individual players know if they are exaggerating injuries.

I think you'll find out he speaks for the majority and not just Warrington fans, at last we have a coach who cares for the game and personally his players.

If cats beat Wigan you will struggle to stay in the six, saints will get enough and you have HKR next week who will be too oo strong if they keep 13 on the field. Do enjoy the victory but that early season draw may be your undoing.

Interesting walk back through Stockton Heath for you after the game on Friday, there is no way there will be 12 points between these two at the end.

Wire this season have a hundred percent record against teams from 7 to 12, out of the four remaining fixtures this is the toughest on paper, so I would expect to go all out for this one.
