It did say subject to change... so I expect that a few of them will have taken """bumps""" in training camp and a few youngsters come in instead. Hopefully ! Otherwise where else do young players show what they've got.

Have a word with Cas - they've already tried and tested all the excuses!

We'd better win now, or this will get quoted back at me for the rest of the season.

I'll get one in first, just in case.
The pre-season games are to give the lads a run out and try a few combinations, obviously some of the boys are just coming back from injury, so it was good to get them out on the field.
All in all, pretty happy with the performance, it's not about the result.

Marks out of 10 please

9.5 lol

Good stuff, best way to hit the ground running at the start of the season is to get them used to playing with each other again and to be freshening up on new systems and moves.

Lets hope putting a near full team out doesn't backfire on us!

Dont worry about that, just get down to Belle Vue and have an enjoyable afternoon, as long as you dont actually win

Looking forward to this game, it will be our first proper test too and a chance to see how far we have come, hopefully be as competitive as we were aginst Wigan and c*s last season

Glad Agar has put a decent, strong team out although, like some have mentioned quite suprised at how strong it is, our squad not announced yet, hope it is as strong as possible

Hoping for a win but a competitive defeat will do for me - just hope we dont do what we did against Leeds last season and ship 60+

See you Sunday!

Like you said depends on team selection on the day, I would like to think both teams will want to play a hard game with out the injuries for both teams, should be a good game and one other thing get your selfs sorted and into Super league..

The squad looks promising and would entice people to come and watch.

With 2 further pre-season friendlies to come (one being against Saints in what should be a big game for them) then we have to be careful. We don't want injuries or people to over push themselves as they strive for fitness.

A competitive open game is all we should wish for. Naturally we'd like to win but let's not get down hearted if we don't. Didn't we get stuffed by Hunslet in a pre-season friendly a few years ago and lose at Batley last year? No big deal.

Injuries are part of friendlies, you simply can't wrap players in cotton wool then expect them to be ready for SL. It's simply a risk all teams have to take.

The Hunslet game was hardly a good comparison as that was basically our A team. The point is that this is basically a full SL squad, hence it would be very embarrassing if we lost although not the end of the world.

Be interesting to see how Andy Ellis performs

£10 for pre bought Gold Member tickets is an excellent price, let's get Belle Vue rocking

I recon they will give us a good test as they have some tidy players among them and will help them judge what level they are at with a few new players in.
Its like a life time since we used to have some cracking games against them.

Looking forward to this game 2 strong sides, fev will be wanting to prove a point should be a good contest for a friendly

Hope you give us a better game than cas did
