I think Wakefield will win, 30 points to 10 or around that,

Widnes Fans are thinking a little different...

A Widnes Fans Prediction...

For me its one wakey should win.It will be an interesting start to the season, remember HKR.Not able to get to the game ,down in Essex working hope i can find a pub showing the game.
Good luck to all trav fans.

1st game in SL, home crowd, Sky cameras, playing for a team and in a ground sponsored by the Competions new sponsor and the game is set for a Widnes win.

We just have to hold them for 15/20 mins and let the adrenalin and Widnes crowd noise diminish and take our chances which will come. 8 - 10 point Wildcat win.

After beating Cas so convincingly, all be it in a friendly, I cant see us going away without 2 points this weekend. I don't particularly rate Widnes' signings, they look to have built an acceptable bottom 4 team, so I think maybe:

Widnes 10
Wakefield 28
Att: no idea
MOM: probably who ever bags the most points on opening night unfortunately

Very, very difficult to predict what will happen here.

Would be disappointed but not shocked to see Widnes beat us.

If I had to guess I would say Wakey to win by single figures but that is more heart than head leading me to that conclusion.


Quite frankly, I'm just looking forward to seeing the season begin and having some games to watch that actually mean something.

All I can say is lump on with the 2 start we have at the bookies , pinching money as is catalans at bulls off level.

I doubt Widnes will win, there signings arent that good but together they could do well how did there opening friendlies go?

Wakefield 26 - 22 Widnes

I think Widnes 16 - 28 Wakefield.

Hard to predict the first few games of the season especially with new squads. Need to see how teams develop and form being established.

Good luck to all going, unfortunately I can't make it, wish I could though.

i predict a good away following, a cold evening and a win by 14 points for trinity. plenty of chemical smells on the way in to widnes, and some over zealous officiating in certain unknown areas - whichever side settles down and deals with what's being stamped on the better will gain an advantage.

widnes will fight and fight hard, if we get a 12 point lead we should have enough in the tank. will be interesting to see the relative fitness of the two squads.

With the greatest respect mate your hardly Melbourne Storm! Why wouldn't our fans be hoping for a win?

FWiW with 4 probable starters put for us I'd know make you light favourites but I'm still hoping we van edge it with home game and the fresh SL buzz.

I like the optimism on here. It goes against the bookies, who are giving us 2 points start on the handicap.
Best price for Wakey is 6/4 with "Sporting Bet"
Its gonna be close, Wakkefield by 6 points for me 22-16

Come on Trin !

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?
