Leigh will improve as the year goes on. Widnes need a half back. If not, Betts won't last the year.
Rovers are a championship team with a handful of decent players. The lack of intensity in the championship will be Rovers undoing in the middle eights. Hopefully.

Shocked Leigh didn't win easily, after all they had a great per season

Leigh will struggle without any props,they had Hock and Tickle as starting props,they are just blown up 2nd rowers.

Wigan winning comfortably at Salford. Leigh, widnes, Salford and, probably, Huddersfield bottom 4 for me at the split

Can tell it's round 1. Every team (barring Cas) appears to be undercooked! Warrington more so than the rest!
Hope we can lay a big marker down tomorrow!

game improved in the last 15

Wakey have have had a pretty good preseason and will be looking to do the same, I'm hoping tomorrow will be the best match of the weekend

catalan as i said in the predicition thread will no way be as bad as some think. did well tonight and the walsh/myler combination looks promising. the key for them as ever will be how they go on the road. we'll get first look in a couple of weeks

Wonder what the people who thought the leeds v saints game was bad, made of ours today, wow that was grim, hats of to the players though, awful confitions and showed plenty of professionalism and heart, was a bit dissapointed with atmosphere, anyone know the attendance

7027, not a bad effort.
