Your team looks much more balanced than last year I just think you're a few weeks away from really gelling just yet.
I'd like to think this is a game we should win but I'd have said that last year as well....
A lot depends on the back lines. I think our pack will edge yours but our backs were wasteful last week and Wakefield will come with more intensity than hull kr did.
As an outsider looking in, I really rate Johnstone but he does appear to be a confidence player.
He did the absolutely correct thing throwing that pass last week and it wasn't a "bad" one - granted it wasn't on the button either.
You would hope that if he is in the same situation again, that he would still throw that pass because it could've won you the game - like I say as a young lad you don't want it to affect his confidence and decision making because he does appear to be a great prospect.
Solomona skinned him a couple of times in the friendly but, I can't see that really mattering.
I think our squad is a little stronger in the middle this week but it's how we deal with missing Shenton. Can't really judge our performance last week cause the conditions were horrific so this really feels like the opener in my mind.
I can see it being close, obviously a cas win
Enjoy the game - and good to see everyone again! Not been on for quite a while!
