Quote: Prince Buster "I also have my doubts about HKR and if we go into that game thinking we are favourites we will get spanked.
However I get comfort from the fact Chester is the coach and he was dumped by HKR. I am sure when he looks down the fixture list that is an away game he really wants to win to prove a point, so I am sure he will have the players in the right frame of mind.'"
We will more than likely go into that game as favorites with the bookies but I doubt many players will take any notice of all that. It's all about having the right attitude and also confidence in ourselves for me. Obviously, with Hull KR coming up, they'll want to put a marker down but personally, I don't think it's a bad game to start the season off at all. Like you say I fully expect CC will get them fired up and be ready for the test ahead and will want to stick it to his former employees for his own reasons, plus he'll also stress that no one's position is safe this year, so no one can rest on their laurels. I'd be very surprised if the lads aren't well up for that first game and tbh if we have any pretense of being a Top 4 contender again we should with all respect to Hull KR be putting them away.
Our next friendly game is Batley where CC says he won't be playing any of his first 17. So the next test is Hudds who will bring us down to reality IF there is anyone that thinks we are the complete package(which I very much doubt there is).
