I'm more nervous than excited for tonight, I know it's only round one but I really would like us to get off to a decent start this season, I don't think Salford will be the pushovers people are making out, I can see us going behind but then ultimately pulling away, a bit like the KR friendly.

Oops. Didn’t mean Pele, talking about the second red! Was it Sao?

My mistake, meant the second red….

Sao Kneed Parcell in the head twice, it was maybe a bit harsh but you simply cannot hit the head these days, and players know that.

I think he might get sending off sufficient but Parcell will pick up a ban.

I think he will be looking at 8 games at least. If the RFL have any credibility they need to back up their tough talking pre season regarding player welfare. He should get at least 5 for the initial cowardly offence, and another 3 for another cowardly strike in the ensuing melee where he sucker punched a player (Mikey Lewis ?) from behind. I think Kyle Amor was lucky to escape the pre match interview with him unscathed. Looked like he wanted to do some pretty nasty things to Mr Amor.

Definitely agree Parcell should cop a couple of games along with Sao who also touched the ref as he was given the red which might increase his to 3.

I'd rather play Martin in the centres and move Newman to the wing than play Roberts. You can get 80 mins out of O'Connor in the second row and Ackers at prop.

Daytime drinking?

Some interesting calls re Donaldson prop and Goudemand back row though they will interchange. Also very disappointing re fusitua again

I’ve really missed the live meltdowns on here during the games, wonder if we will get that tonight. Maybe just wait til full time to post guys

Fusitua is a joke

oh balls I've just seen that we're kicking off...

No player wants to get injured but he seems to pick up knocks very easily. It's not like he's played loads of minutes in pre-season

I’m praying for a short one

Nooooooooooooooo

I got bagged for calling out Fusitua being a sick note people said he was just unlucky seems he's lucked out again

superleague deserves better never mind the Rhinos.

if we do go short with the first kick off it will show we're still chasing short cuts

Have we brought in the same rules the NRL were trailing with the short kick offs?

The grass is a touch damp. I'm sure we will see him back to his best when it's dry fast pitches.

Oh dear,silly

Wow, this is a poor start, look like last year rolled down the muddle easily, not making yards ourselves, silly errors m, we look very nervous.

Sounds like a bad high shot

Aw, blooming hell, Ash.

Errors killing us, as usual.

Oh, blooming heck, Ash!!
