Not fancying us at all in this one. We have struggled for some time against Warrington, especially in attack, which they shut down with concerning ease.

Both our first choice half backs missing too, so we will have a 20 year old and 19 year old in those positions.

Welsby and Dodd will be fearless though. An optimistic view is that they will be a different proposition from Lomax and Fages, who have struggled in this fixture for so long.

With our excellent defence, I expect a near identical game to our meeting in June.

Win or lose, I won't get too hung up on this one. The key for me is whether we show any ability to breakdown Warrington's defence.

[Josef K]

Wire by 12, if Woolf sticks to his down the middle policy 

[my missus]

revenge for saints in the best match of thr season.

[yipyee]

Can see Welsby and Dodd offering a different angle and maybe some off the cuff play which will bamboozle the wolves.

Saints by 8 for me.

[Alffi 7]

Saints owe us one and I think Dodd and Welsby will cause more problems than Lomax & Fages. 
 

Saints by 10.

[ELBOWSEYE]

Woolf yet to win against wire, expecting a tight quality game one score either way.

Wire by 6.

We're not going to beat Saints three times this season, so I'd rather lose this one and have a better chance if we face up in the grand final. 

Either way, hope it's an entertaining game and we get to see a bit more of Williams and Widdop starting to gel.

"Looked close", it was nowhere near close.

[Futtocks]

A very close shave for Warrington, right at the start!

Stevie Wonder could’ve seen it was grounded by Currie.

[dkw]

Good dive by Widdop.

[Cheshire Setter]

Better game for TV than the last few at least. Quite fast and end to end.

[Padge]

Where was the knock-on?

[Man of Kent]

Great atmosphere. 

[GeordieSaint]

Good stuff by Welsby and Dodd for that try. 

[Man of Kent]

Feels like Saints are going to give a masterclass tonight.

Welcome back Super League. 

[GeordieSaint]

Get in!! Brilliant try from Dodd. The sight of Widdop cleaning out of his winger made it even better!

[Futtocks]

Warrington are a bit more in the game now.

Especially now with Currie in.

[Waynebennettswinger]

Top player Ben Currie. Game on. 

[Padge]

Great try from Warrington if given.

[GeordieSaint]

Top try this by Wire…

[Cheshire Setter]

Very little go-forward from Warrington after 30 minutes of flat-track bullying, but somehow only four points adrift. Not sure which team should be more disappointed.
