You might be right, but it's too early to make those calls. Huddersfield have always opened with a big win and have never featured in one either. Even if you don't make the GF, this season is vital for Warrington in terms of establishing your new spine 1,6,7,9. Russell, Ratchford, Myler and Higham might not win it this year, but it's part of their development they need to go through.
If I were Smith, I'd also use this season to bring a 9 through. Are there any in your academy who look good enough?
Most worrying aspect for Warrington tonight wasn't the performance, it was the bench.
