dont forget the Leeds Utd v Norwich match at same time as well on SKY

Best front row in the superleague

Your negative is my realistic mate - I think we'll struggle again unless our front row aims up AND we're lucky with injuries.
Goes without saying but because of our limitations this year, we are going to have to defend tight and tough and cut out the silly errors and penalties.
Can't wait for tomorrow night.

Yes probably. Roby is just immense. Problem is Warrington aren't shy in that department either with Hill, Clark and Cooper etc.
Anyway I expect with it being first game of the season and everyone pretty much fit and fresh, we should be competitive.

On some other notes: will be very interesting to see how Lolohea shapes up opposite Blake Austin. And also how Merrin goes in the forwards. I think we all expect Hurrell to be an asset this year, he's quite straightforward.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the Hull derby tonight actually - HKR seem to have signed well.
Good to see the season start with some derbies - Leeds away to Cas would have been a good one but hey.

Wire have all but sold out the home stands with only 3 blocks in the north stand having "limited availability".

Any idea on how many you've shifted? if you lot bring a good crowd we could be on for £14,000+ which hasn't happened for a very long time for us.

The Saints vs Wigan game was one of the best opening games I can remember seeing. I can't wait for our game now.

The speed of the game was very refreshing - when is Barba coming back

Is it £1 in?

Leeds have sold over 1000

Wigan might get him. Useful bit of cover if they suddenly need a full back......

If I was Hull KR, I'd try and get him as a marquee player. I doubt many clubs have the cap space for him at the moment.

According to the ticket office Leeds had sold 1,500 by Thursday eve

Interesting side HKR have built - Garbutt and Keinhorst both scored tonight...

Similar to Salford last night at Huddersfield?

Leeds Utd v Norwich same time - difficult

Difficult opening game, my main hope is for a big/strong performance, if we get a result wonderful. But to me the performance and desire is the important factor.

It is, but I think we will win, think Warrington think this game and the whole season is a prosession for them all the way to the Grand final,(the fans defo think it is) think we can knock them down a peg or two.

I think you're confusing over-confidence with optimism. While us Wire fans are hoping for a change in fortunes his year, most of us aren't foolish enough to think it will be a procession- far from it - most of us are acutely aware that we haven't even won 1 SL title yet. You might get the odd deluded fan, I think even your club may have some, but most of us are just optimistic and the world would be a dull place without any (optimism not deluded fans!).

Merrin at prop ?

Plus Sutcliffe in the second row, Donaldson in and no place for JJB or Cam Smith. Even with only 19 to pick from I didn't see that coming...

Walker
Briscoe Watkins Hurrell Handley
Lolohea Myler
Cuthbertson Parcell Merrin
Ferres Sutcliffe
Ward

Dwyer Oledzki Singleton Donaldson

Donaldson over Cam Smith. I knew it would it happen. I feel like weeping!!!

Give over Marty. Donaldson is over JJB, it was always going to be one or the other each week.

Smith loses out to chuffing Sutcliffe, which is far worse and indefensible.

Not convinced either with the Sutcliffe decision or merrin and cuthbertson in front row but let's see how it plays out.

Looks like we will be chucking it about a bit with that seection. Might be a bit light in grunt.

They are both ahead of Cam as they are both in the 17.
