Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.
If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

Bridge always seems to play well against us but may have less opportunity to hurt us in the centres. I'd still back him to score tomorrow though as he always seems to find the tryline against us. Monaghan and Briers were also excellent against us at the HJ earlier this season - but weren't allowed anywhere near as much time at the 'Pharm more recently.

Quote ="fes"Really suprised TS has dropped Rauhihi in favour of McCarthy. />
As a Wire fan I think we always struggle against your pack - at least when you have your biggest side out, but elsewhere it's been said that with it being warm tomorrow you're going to be playing it fast from dummy half with Moore, Aspinwall, Hodgson etc, and Rau is lazy at marker. McCarthy is young and keen.
I really would have liked Clarke and Wood to have been available and they would have been first choice had they been fit. />
I think you start as favourites but it could go either way. />
Hudds have an amazing ethic and go about the business in a no frills way and more often than not get he result. Browns game plan against Saints was top draw. />
Key point is if TS has something up his sleeve. He needs to, otherwise you'll win.
Let's hope for a good game either way.'" />
Rah has lost too much weight in the last few weeks and is a liabilty with his reckless offloads. We need a player like mccarthy who runs at and tries to bust the tackle, rah always turns his back ready for the offload. I've never seen anyone score a try after backing in to a tackle and then outsprinting the defence running backwards.

I think the most exciting and fascinating thing about tomorrow's match is that it is so 50-50....There are countless if's and but's, and countless permutations into what may or may not happen....There are many factors to throw into the mix....Can Morley & Carvell dominate up front...Can the Giants well drilled pack get a roll on....Can Briers get his undoubtedly talented game going....
As a Wire fan, I obviously would love a Warrington victory, but I think for all Rugby League fans this could be one to remember.....2 relative novices to the big stage fighting it out for some much needed silverware, something will have to give. />
As a betting man, trying to be a little neutral, I would probably just edge towards the Giants, however, Wire have that X Factor that makes them a dangerous opponent....I'll just watch with my nails being steadily chewed.... www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_cool.gif" alt=" icon_cool.gif" title="Cool" /> |

It's a lightweight pack. I think we are using the term lightweight differently.'" />
Dude. />
I'm not sure what your're referring to as lightweight. But a team that names Carvell and Morley in the starting 13, and Cooper on the bench, doesn't have a lightweight pack. We also had the likes of Harrison, and Westwood, in the backrow, who pretty much play like props themselves. So I still don't know what you mean. />
As it proved, our pack was by no means lightweight. They totally dominated.
