If they had scheduled two or three hard pre-season games to sharpen up as a team, then maybe would beat widnes, but with no match experience together as a team don't see it happenning
It’s a good choice for an opening game. Widnes are decent but not world beaters. If the new venue/ new era vibe permeates we may get a strong performance but as you say new team with little Championship experience.
I note 1st team and staff lists now on the website. Only Mike Eccles retained from last year on training staff. I assume JyMel as (joint) head coach is an error. Not sure about the pictures framing the list. One majors on Varela scoring a try for U18s. As we’ve let him go (I assume) not sure it’s fair to the kid and the other majors on Egodo, who has left, and Latu just before his unsuccessful trial last year. Best forgotten id have thought.
