Their current position means that they have to win their last two games assuming that Cas beat Celtic and Catalans beat Wakey. That means they have to beat Hull KR away and Harlequins at home just to make the playoffs. It's easy to slip up in the leadue the week after a cup final victory and they've got to go to hull KR who are in a scrap for third spot. Not the easy route to the playoffs that you are suggesting.

Its better than P6 W1 D0 L5 or P10 W4 D0 L6

You may also note that i further clarified the position by opinionating that Warrington may struggle to scrape into the playoffs in the first place further undermining their position as potential champions.

Had high hopes for the second half, but Warrington scored first and that was that really.

I now wonder how both teams will fare in the play offs.


Huddersfield loked poor, and it could be season over for them if they can't pick themselves up from it

The gap between the quarter and semi finals of the cup won't have helped their form much and they still got within a minute of beating Leeds at Headingley the week before the latter so perhaps their form wasn't as bad as the stats might suggest.

The proposition was more aimed at what Warrington would need to do in the future under Smith to challenge for the SL title. How much more or how little they would need?

FWIW I have Warrington missing out on the eight this season as I see no way for them to beat Hull KR this week and 24 points maximum won't be enough. Even if Les Catalans don't make 26 (Castleford will), Bradford will probably make 25 and scrape the last place.

There's no doubt that Warrington should be able to challenge for titles. They have got one monkey off their back by winning a trophy which should give them belief. They now need to get the St Helens monkey off their back. Their biggest problem IMO was their lack of depth, but they seem to be getting a group of youngsters coming through which is rectifying that problem (ring any bells with TS in 2004)
