I think with Widnes been the underdogs and the unknown could have a win.Anything is possible and just depends who wants it more on the night.Watch out for big Mullaly and Ben Cross.Attendance i think about 7200 at a guess and Widnes by 6.

Beware the new boy/shiny stadium factor. I thing the RFL and Sky would be hoping for a Widnes and for that matter Salford wins just to prove their ongoing nonsense of stadia being more important than what goes on on the field.
That said i think Wakefield should have too much for Widnes and will bring the points home, ditto for Cas on saturday.

As for the annoying hemmings and his puppy , just live with it. they knorr nowt

With slightly less respect, neither are you.

I think Agar will out-coach Betts. This alone should see us through this fixture. Hull KR at home will be a much tougher test.

I wasn't the one saying Widnes fans we're crazy for predicting a win. Nor the opposite.

Even most of your lot here have said it will be close.

Think we will win by more than 10. We have more quality in most positions than Widnes.

Quote me someone saying that?

Re track to my post you quoted (also title post) and notice the

One person used a smiley; calm down dear.

Anyone need the lottery numbers?

If this didn't clash with other things at work i'd be on that coach, make sure you give them a cheer from me!

Sticking my neck out, Wakey 40, Widnes 12, I have a feeling we will hit the ground running and show we mean business

Wakey 34 Widnes 16

Washbrook MOM

Going with this due to the players they are missing

Wakefield 32 Widnes 12

MOM Dean Collis

Stevo tipped Widnes to win on sky sports this afternoon,so that's a wakey win then,you big lump of lard.

I expect a exciting close encounter with us just taking the spoils,

FWIW I think the Widnes is by far the better prepared club to come up from the championship

Widnes will take some beating because of the circumstances surrounding the fixture, if this had been round 3/4 I'd be more confident of a Wakey win, saying that though we have a lot to prove ourselves. It's no surprise people are tipping Widnes TBH, I'd tip Widnes to beat Salford, Quins and Bradford if they were playing in the same fixture as us.

i will put my neck on the line and pick us for the win. it will be close. i can see our "big game players" such as lauititi been the difference.

widnes 18 wakefield 26

we will not run away with it, as i don't think we will be allowed to (if you know what i mean...)

i predict after tomorrow night all the critics will be taking us a bit more seriously, Aiton, Collis and John are gonna be 3 of the best signings in SL this year i reckon

Widnes 10-46 Trinity

Widnes 14 Wakefield 34

If we had our full squad to pick from, I think Widnes would win this one. We haven't recruited as badly as some, lazy, journos have assumed we have. However, we have too many key players out tomorrow night and I think Wakey will probably edge it. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong.

I didn't think we'd get this fixture a few months ago, but I'm genuinely glad we are getting it, and that you are still in Super League.

By the way, according to Terry O'Connor on William Hill's Super League preveiw, the club has sold 8,000 tickets. So, it should be an absoloute belting atmosphere.

Enjoy the game and safe jouney to those making the trip o'er t'hill.

Hence why I quoted one, thanks for your concern though

Some very confident Wakefield fans. I don't blame you, I do the same with widnes. I wouldn't take us too lightly though. Looking at our squad I would make you favourites but who knows. Our biggest loss is watts, Flynn and briscoe are also missing along with phelps. Wakefield have made some decent signings but the way some of you go on make it sound like your signings are amazing.

Watts, cross, Clarke, Moore, briscoe and phelps to name a few are some very big signings IMO for a club that's new to the league.

I won't wish you look but wish you safe travels tomorrow hoping you bring a good following as predicted. Will be interesting seeing smith and johnnteaming up.

Not sure about the ones you listed being very good.

Clarke, Moore and maybe briscoe although lost form last year.

Phelps is steady, cross hasn't broken any pots in SL despite playing at top teams. He did get knocked out twice in one game though

.

In all seriousness nobody is taking wishes lightly. The fact it's the first SL game, you have home advantage is reason enough for wakey to be cautious.

Wishes have signed better than Salford at least IMO. There has been alot more investment in wakefield 2012 and I feel we are being underestimated but.. Wouldn't have it any other way



Just hoping for a good game

With such a new squad, how can we call it? I havent even looked at Widnes' squad. That's the trouble these days. Journeyman merrygoround means it's impossible to read early on. We'll know after a few games. I think we may win but very close I would expect.
