Warrington bottlejobs again

Given the "sent up as a try/no try" system then I'm ok with it staying as a try. The image of his hand is blurred and you can't make a clear decision to overturn it for me. Should say Tierney even though he scored made a meal of it and a more natural winger wouldn't have his hand stuck out like that anyway to cause that doubt.

I actually think Wigan are gonna win it now if Wane lets them play like they did in the second half then, that was the best they have played all year.
Unfortunately they are peaking just at the right time.

Next week will be interesting what will be Warringtons state of mind and Hulls physical state given how sluggish they have looked since Wembley. Hate to say it but Wigan look favourites for the GF now they appear to be hitting form just at right time.

They looked good in attack in the final 20 mins because they had nothing to lose and threw caution to the wind, helped by Warrington not adopting a close this down mindset (a match scenario ideal for Sinfield tonight). When they don't have to take risks then their attack still leaves a bit to be desired.

With tonight and losing that lead vs Hull in the CC Final then questions have to be asked if Warrington can get themselves over the line when it matters.

I don't know why pundits keep saying they have big game experience in Gidley and Sandow, Sandow has no playoff or rep experience at all and Gidley showed today and in the CC that he cracks under pressure

True and looking through the rest of their team, not many are left from when they last won silverware with the 2012 CC (only Hill, Ratchford and Atkins tonight, Westwood also but missing tonight). They've got good forwards but that three quarter line doesn't match up to it, I mean they're playing a centre and a FB on the wings for a start.

Clearly thought Lineham was the answer but has been a big letdown

Yeah I've always thought the key thing when someone is smashed high and late is which part of the arm makes contact!!

Well it is the difference between a bruise and a broken jaw

Hello all, have a query for the old(er) hats amongst you...

For the GFs that Leeds don't play in, do you know if the club organise or offer any coordinated transport to and from Headingley? As the Leigh game I was going to introduce Scottish friends to is now no longer possible for us to go to, I was looking at trying to persuade them to head down for the GF instead. I have never been one to have any interest in attending finals not involving Leeds but I am gutted about next week as was looking forward to it so am looking for alternatives! Thanks for any help or guidance

I said after the cup final that I think Wigan might come in and nick the GF now ,but that doesn't mean I want them to win.If I had to choose it would be Wire

I don't think so but could be wrong. why not sort a mini bus and just get tickets?

Because I will be coming from Glasgow with one or two other people max if I do come down. Will be plenty of space if I did that. If a load of you are scrabbling around thinking of mini buses from Leeds I can sort one then!

I thought Wire would at least be in the final but it'll be interesting to see how they respond now after what happened on Friday night, had a similar feel to Hudds losing to us last year letting that lead go with only several minutes left wi the Wire players looking stunned at what happened to them. If they lose to Hull next week they'll be away to Wigan most likely.

Wire beat Hull it's......Wire vs Saints - Wigan vs Hull

Hull beat Wire it's.....Hull vs Saints - Wigan vs Wire

*(providing Wigan beat Catalans at home which looks likely)

Wire would probably prefer Wigan away anyway, haven't they only beat Saints twice at home in like 20 years?

If Hull do the treble the year after we achieved it how would people feel?

I have to admit, i didn't think we would see it happen again for a good few years but after Warrington choked away the LLS on friday it has really fallen into the lap of Hull now with the home game this week against a busted side i expect they will do it. That said, playing Saints at home will be no gimme, they are the side with all the momentum right now but the treble is very much on.

Hull even being in with a good chance of winning the treble tells me all I need to know about Leeds winning the treble last year.

That's how I feel

I would have put money on that being your view

Pleased for em. A revival in FC's fortunes could be a shot in the arm for the game as a whole.

And at least it weren't bloody wigan

At the moment I'd still make others favourites ahead of them. As Warrington showed in 2012/13 it's one thing to win a CC but to win a GF when you haven't been to one (or at least one in recent years) is a different task and Wigan and Saints have the experience and the current form.

In terms of the LLS, god knows how Warrington will respond this week after what happened to them last week. Could've broken them or could see a strong response.

Ben Currie out for 6-9 months with torn ACL.

That's bad luck for that lad, great young player. Mirrors Ward's unluck also, similar injury, simlar time frame, similar form up to it with international recognition about to happen.

True and if it ends up taking the same or similar time to recover as Ward then it'll be tough for him to build any form in time to be selected for next years World Cup.

That is a shame as he has been one of the bright young prospects in SL this year, have enjoyed watching him play. Will hurt Warringtons chances for the GF, he was a big part of how they play and gets plenty of tries for a back row.
