Quote: paulwalker71 "Looking on the positive, I think its as good a start to the season as could be hoped, especially compared with Leeds (at Cardiff) and Wigan (home) last season
Catalans tend to start slowly, presumably due to their high player turnover. They don't usually seem to get going until 5-6 into the season. A home game against them at a cold and frosty Odsal gives us a great chance to get off to a flyer.
Then Castleford away is a fixture that we've really got to be targeting as a game that we can win. They were on a real slump at the end of last season and haven't exactly set the world on fire with their recruitment. Again, this is a winnable game (or should be)
I know we have the propensity to blow it, but surely we've got to be looking to get off to a two-from-two winning start?'"
We were missing huby, emmit, dixon, ferres, walker, davies, mathers and jackson that i can think of, take 5 props out of any team in the league and they are going to struggle.
