I wouldn’t risk Baron this week unless he is 100%. We don’t want him to have a bigger hamstring injury and be out for 4-6 weeks.


As above, I’d play Rapana in the centre, Briscoe on the wing and Moy at FB.

Different challenge for me this week. First game of the season where we go in as favourites and need the points. 


I think we can do it, but as always, if we give it a good crack trying we'll move on to the next game with heads held high. 


Edit: Just seen the bookies odds. Really surprised and a rare flutter from me on an FC win. 

Are we favourites? Not sure i agree. Wakey been  pretty good so far and at home

Favourites clearly the wrong phrase from me, because no, we're not haha. 

I think the games at Huddersfield, Wakefield, Castleford are the games we need to be winning if we're going to finish above them. We've picked up points at Catalans and at home to Leigh, and beaten Hudds away and Wigan in the cup. How many times were we favourites in any of them? 


I've got Hudds away vibes, where it's a place we need to go and bring the points home. We scraped a win there, let's hope we can get another result tomorrow. There's a bit of expectation growing around the club now, be interesting to see how we handle it. Think that's why I'm surprised we're not favourites. 

Another tight game me thinks 6-8 points either way .As mentioned above , We need a good start and better discipline . 

We need to put an 80 minute performance together, improve our defence and discipline. Do that and we win
