• Zak Hardaker shines and Warriors keep rising
With Wembley a week away the St Helens coach, Justin Holbrook, used this evening as an opportunity to witness their Challenge Cup final opponents first-hand. And while he will have been left in no doubt his side are heavy favourites against an out-of-form Warrington next weekend, he will have also learned plenty about which team are now perhaps favourites to challenge them for the Grand Final.
When Wigan and Warrington last met in the league in late May, second-placed Warrington were 14 points clear of the reigning Super League champions, who themselves were languishing in seventh and looking anything but title contenders. But, as the Warriors have done many times in the past, they appear to be peaking exactly when it matters.
