Friend of the forum Pete Zatoppin will be there amongst the black and white throng to sing 'Old Faithful' as the mighty FC show the scousers how to play Rugby League.

My prediction is Saints 12 Hull FC 20

Mark O'Meley to be back to his intimidating self and smash you all over the place.

You heard it here first.

Saints 28 - 16 Hull FC

I predict that Soliola will smash O'Meley

Ahhh and so the season begins!

18-12, Saints win.

Good innit!

Think you should call yourself Smack Asmoking

A season of toil and trouble awaits us. Hull looks super strong, their pack is truly monstrous and their backs are miles better than ours.

We haven't scored more than 20 points in a home game since June (And even that was against Celtic Crusaders) and it's been 9 games since we beat 20 points in any game. It will be interesting to see if Potter moves the slider away from '1 out down the middle' and makes us do anything remotely resembling free flowing rugby.

I'll go for Saints 12 Hull 28 and a massive amount of shock on the terraces.

A Hull victory for me, 16-22. Saints never start the season well IMO, and Hulls' pack will push us wide, something we can't do to much success due to our lack of pace.

saints 26 hull 12 if we dont play that boring rugby and pass the ball out wide

I can see a Hull win too - but Mark O Meal ticket - I don't think so

Saints 18-20 Hull F.C

Att: 12,492

saints 10 - 32 hull

I am not sure if you are beign serious?

Man for man Saints best 17 is better than ours, you are at home, no injuries? You have to start clear favourites.

Dont get me wrong I am confident we can beat you, we have the team on paper to do it, but never that confident playing Saints and at KR.

If both coachs play the game like last season it will be a tight game, hopfully we will throw the ball about more and get the ball to our backs, a lot will depend on the conditions.

I think it will be 20-12 to Saints, hopfully I am wrong.
