Hudds and Hull KR sort of ruined it (no offence) last year.

This year pretty much all the games will be huge.

Confirmed where Brian?

No, not really.

Last year in week 1 we had -

Leeds v HKR
Saints v Hudds
Wigan v Cas
Wakey v Catalans

This year we could end up with

Wigan v Leeds
Saints v Wire
Hull FC v Hull KR
Huddersfield v Crusaders

Some very, very attractive games in there compared to last year's reasonably predictable games.

well, probably leeds now,
Ryan Bailey what a sh*thouse. Hate it when refs send players off, it just ruins the game.

thats true. i take it back! cant see much on hudds v crusaders but its a better top 8 this year i agree

That's that then
How it's not 12 v 12 I don't know

In the corporate lounge pre and post match by the announcer.

Confirmed on Sky Sports now.

hope Leeds play as badly as they have in their last two games.

With the Bailey incident being on report. Leeds could be in real trouble in the forwards come next week if Bailey has a case to answer for his elbowing antics in the tackle which Radford took exception to... although personally I think he wasnt meaning it, just trying to give himself momentum to get up. A warning at worst for mine but you never know.

Can't wait now I'm not predicting nowt though don't want to jinx it

Bailey is a lunatic but Radford had only himself to blame to be honest. His first punch did the damage and Bailey had the ball in his hand with no chance to defend himself. Can't really argue with a straight red given the damage he did and Bailey was hardly going to not react was he? Maybe Radford will think twice next time before throwing a needless and cowardly punch especially since it probably cost his side a lifeline in the playoffs.
