It was also claimed by some supporters "in the know" that Wane and Charnley did not get on which has now been proved to be a load of nonsense. As for Wanes comment, it was like many comments taken out of context of what he meant about the different styles and form of the two wingers.

In your opinion, but evidently not Wane!

What a strange thing to say. Of course I'm giving my opinion. How and why would I presume to give someone else's?

And I wasn't one of them so, again, I'll ask what your point is.



As for the second part, once again you're wrong. It isn't out of context. It was given as the explanation why Wane dropped him by Wane himself. Are you suggesting Wane was giving a reason why he was wrong to drop him or something? That's a very bizarre position to take but, going off your previous reasoning, I suppose that shouldn't come as any surprise.

Exactly, it was only a comment based on the form of both players in regard to form at the time and not Wane saying that Manfredi was a better player than Charnley as some supporters took the comment.



Wane should have said nothing like Lam has done with his dropping of Burgess for Manfredi.

Whilst I agree with your comments regarding better to keep quiet about these matters I think it true that Wane did very much rate Manfredi over Charnley. You have to keep in mind that these comments were made when Charnley was at the height of his powers so he clearly saw things in Manfredi that he didn't in Josh.



I think it also worth noting that Josh isn't in good form at the moment, having only scored 2 tries in 5 games, so the comparison to then and now is marked. That's why I said it was a strange decision.



My comments shouldn't be taken as Charnley bashing by the way. Far from it. He was sensational when he first signed for Wire and I thought his omission then was also a strange decision. I guess I'm saying that there are more deserving inclusions this time around, not least Marshall.

The whole Warrington team is not performing as expected!

Very true. In fact I've been having discussions with both board's resident ducks on this very subject!

Back on topic - cracking win for Huddersfield last night. Maybe puts our thumping of them in a different light?

I hope I don’t sound like I’m drumming down our win because I’m not but Saints last week didn’t look particularly good and sounds like last night they weren’t either. It’s the WCC hangover IMO, I wouldn’t read too much into it but if it continues until after Good Friday there’s no complaints from me

Always nice to see Saints losing games. I had a look through their own forum and some of the over reactions on there are hilarious. It’s always tough to get going again after a WCC game and even more so with a new coach. You’d think they’ve been on a 15 game losing streak the way some are going on.



I think the Saints fans will need to strap themselves in for a less entertaining season but they’ll be there or thereabouts for every trophy. They’re still the team to beat and with that front row will be tough to beat in big games.

The WCC takes a lot out of our teams. Last year we lost at home to Huddersfield exactly the same weekend as Saints have. Saints are still going to have a big say in all the cups this year. However they don't seem as flamboyant this time around with most of their tries coming from inside the 20 metres area.
