One of those games that you feel could be set up for a shock win to spoil the party.   Warrington's first home game with fans, the first chance to Inglis live, and the expectation of victory.

Huddersfield have been playing well and losing narrowly.   The cup loss will have hurt and they've showed they can mix it with the best last weekend.

Withy that in mind I think it will be tight, and could go wither way by a couple of points.

Wire by 12. The sight of spectators give the Hudd players crippling stage fright.

Or on the flip side, Fartown by 6 as they are more used to playing in front of small crowds

Who is injured and missing only hughes banned and Ashton injured and we have more fullbacks than forwards.

A bit unfair. There are teams who regularly trumpet how many players they have out but not sure that has ever been us.

Is it their turn this week to have that label?

It's become a bit of a standing joke now that every team Huddersfield beat or play are "depleted" or "injury hit, especially the top clubs,

Yet, totally ignoring the fact that we also have first team squad players unavailable.

Yep, we seem to attract opponents that has first team players unavailable every week

Rumours Toby king will replace Hughes in 2nd row, Ratchford back at fullback Inglis and Mamo centres and Widdop and Austin in the halves.Daz  Clark fit for game. Not too many missing Lineham not selected, Hughes banned, Ashton injured. So no excuses for Warrington a near as Dammit full strength side.

I thought Price said last week that Inglis will be the regular fullback this season?   Maybe just more mind games.   I'd rather see Ratchford in the halves as he was doing a better job than Austin, who would probably make a fantastic impact player from the bench like at Canberra.

Just an article in the guardian, its the changes they predicted.

I always look forward to a match, but this one, with spectators back, especially.
