There's some cracking posts on redvee including this one which I think's my favourite:
I can imagine the conversation during last week:
Frayssinous: "Paul I have a brilliant plan for the game against Warrington" Wellens: "Go on"" Frayssinous: "How about we utilise five one-up drives and a crap kick on every set?" Wellens: "But we've tried that every game so far this season and it's failed miserably?" Frayssinous: "Exactly, Warrington won't expect us to be using it again" Wellens: "Great thinking, let's go with that"

We should mock St Helens at our peril. Even if this is one of their worst seasons they are likely to finish in the top 6. wasnt so long ago we were sweating on beating tolouse at home to stay in the league.

You're ALWAYS gonna have that stoppage with that type of suspected injury.
Agree. May as well send them off for 10 mins, than let them lie down for ten while we have to endure 10 mins of the same replay.

I agree it’s not wise to mock Saints…..bloody fun though !

I like everything Sam and his support have gone about our season. Minus the huge blip at Wembley and the after effects. Also the fatigue blip vs KR at home.
Constantly evolving and building to shape for one thing, which Sam won’t say.
None of the top 3 will have an easier chance to win a GF however all 3 are in a different mini league to the rest, who are playing it out for place money. Imo.
This is a type of team I don’t think I’ve ever seen at Warrington before. No ‘bad apples’ no player egos. Grit and endurance that typically isn’t the Warrington thing..,,
And I love it.
That couldn't be more untrue.
The team finishing 3rd has to play one more game than the teams 1st and 2nd - By definition, it will therefore be harder to win it. In theory, Warrington could have to go through St Helens, Hull KR and Wigan to win it...
Additionally, one of the top 2 could get an easier run dependent on how the first round of play offs go.

“Untrue”? Or not in your opinion!
The key word in your reply is “could” x2, and the phrase “in theory” which indicates you have nothing to prove it’s untrue.
While the key acronym in my post is “imo” which means, I never said it was a fact or truth, but my opinion.
And I stand by my “imo” because your post ‘couldn't be more untrue’ or farther from my changing my mind.

It's clearly statistically more unlikely to win 3 games in a row than two so long as the chance of winning the 1st game is < 100%. We had a real chance at top 2 and, unfortunately for us, we didn't take it. Being honest I think Wigan and Hull KR are the stronger sides over the course of the season.
Two years or so ago (11/8/2022) we were tussling for 11th in the league. That is one turnaround.
If we can win ONE playoff game that is more than we have done since 2018.

What are you talking about? My use of could and in theory are because I cannot be certain and there are multiple scenarios.
Statistically speaking you are completely wrong. Even when you ignore statistics you are wrong.
You honestly think Warrington have a 33.33% chance of winning the grand final? Despite finishing 3rd, having never won it before and having to play 1 extra game than the teams finishing 1st or 2nd?
