Ipape is a good nine but certainly not Dwyer, and Walker and Powell are far a better combination. But if you are happy that's all that matters.

My god that must stick in the throat, go and have a lie down.

But keyboard warriors don't pick sides

Well only time will tell, but Burgess has shown his confidence in giving youngsters a chance in fact this season has probably seen more given game time than any Warrington coaches in recent times, Bateman would still be selected for England so it's a decent gamble for the last third of the season.

More like he thinks he is someone who will add to the squad in the rest of the season.

Experienced big game player, will be invaluable for Warrington in the final section of the season were squad depth, available players and big game experience will prevail.

Agreed, you need a balanced panel/ pundits not two saints players who played or are still playing for saints.

Wouldn't like to put some money on that view, to get 6 (unless you call names) you have to do far more than that.

When wire are going into saints games with high expectations they usually lose, and win when given little chance.

Herbie Farnworth, Victor Radley,KPP, Morgan Smithies plus Young and Burgess.

Smith has been outstanding for Wigan this season, sneyd is a bit like lee briers everyone calling for him to be picked yet only having odd games at international level.

Will copy the letter and forward it to you.

Not directly on the theme, I have just wrote to the RFL over Warringtons latest visit to France. A 69 yr old female relative with a disabled 30 yr old son who has to use a wheelchair we're treated terribly at the Catalan stadium (they have attended every Warrington, Catalan away game. For the first time they had sun protection confiscated and it was warm and sunny, they were put in the temporary stand (first time , and they always book as wheelchair chair tickets). The Access was impossible for a wheelchair never mind able bodied fans, the stand was crudely built with nails protruding, the wheelchair was placed right at the fence which was covered by posters offering almost no visibility. After numerous complaints they were eventually placed in a more appropriate place, but this was well into the playing time. The fans concerned have vowed never to attend Catalan away games ,but the ironic thing is that whilst they were in breach of numerous H&S regulation but also disabled people regulations all this while they are wheelchair champions. If they were based in the UK they would have been liable in numerous ways.

I enjoyed the day, I can see it means a lot to the participants and clubs and even too the fans of the clubs but we all know the neutral fans are really diluted, I have been all Warrington finals and 2009/2010 all my extended family went (people who never attend normal games). The days out have been diluted with magic, Catalan away and the GF.

Seems so, even though we lost I still enjoyed the day. And there was no animosity between fans.

Totally agree with your experience and thoughts.

Fair point.

And this answer would have been far better and befitting of an experienced poster like yourself. But I agree with you that they weren't yellow cards.

Harry try to respond with points rather than childish emoji signs I am sure you are very capable from what I have read from your posts over time.

You were talking about yesterday, I read about league is dead or dying all my life. Yet it still survives. Is it perfect , no. Is it a poorer game , I feel the answer will always be yes because people always think things were better in the past. I enjoy watching the games just as much as I have always done. My perception of things change as I get older as it does with everyone so either enjoy watching or watch something else that allows you to enjoy it rather than complain it will make you a happier individual.

I thought the yellow cards were harsh but to say cooper had no part to play is simply not true, he swung his arm no matter how low Thewlis was. Dufty came of the chest then made contact with the head. But as we saw earlier this season players adapt to change and the contacts with heads will reduce.

Definition of half full is 50%, the crowd was 72% of capacity. I attended yesterday the occasion was special and touching. The tribute outside and inside Wembley was brilliant fans of all colours talking and showings respect no shouting or animosity. All though Warrington lost against a deserved Wigan it didn't put a dampener on an outstanding event. Seat counters obviously failed to grasp what was happening but that is their fault not the games.

Well done Wigan well deserved victory, thought the tribute was good

On Saturday we pay our respects to a remarkable player and human being Rob Burrow, we also should spare a thought for 3 players who played in the 1990 Warrington/Wigan final who are no longer with us, Des Drummond, Mike Gregory and Paul Derbyshire. Mike and Paul Wiganers who represented Warrington and succumbed to this terrible disease. I will give a thought to these three as well as Rob.

The one team who have similar pace is Warrington Dufty, Ashton and Thewlis are just as quick as Wigan's pace men. It's evenly matched all across from 1 to 17 so a bit a magic or a mistake could settle this. Too close to call but hoping for a wire win.
