Leigh I think will go okay this season, looked sharp on Saturday, regarding Huddersfield I’ve heard burgess not happy there but apart from that I think they will be below Wakey anyway

When they've got Ipape, Lam, and now Armstrong firing they're a top 6 side. Take two of those out with injury and I reckon they'll struggle. They don't have much depth, haven't since they came back to Super League really. If we get an injury in most of our positions, there's not a huge drop in quality to the next player. Max > Rourke, Trueman > Lino/Russell, Hood > Doyle, Niketemo > Vagana. For Leigh it's more like Lam > MacNamara, Ipape > Mellor, Armstrong > Macintosh. Big drops.

I've seen the highlights and Fev were good value for the win. Several flare ups off the ball with Shudds having 2 sin binned so could be some suspensions coming.

Some very tough calls for round one.

Trueman I think has the spot but who will partner him?

So far Lino has put him self in front but I feel he’s had more time with Trueman where I think Russell hasn’t. Interesting to see who will be lining up vs Goole. I think he will rest Trueman and could play Lino and Russell.

Smith has impressed pre season at 9 too. Looks like he’s grown physically too and is handling the defensive side well. I’m not against him getting some decent game time this season to develop more. Between 1st team and Batley he could really come on leaps this year.

I think the pack mostly picks itself though and the backs mostly too. Probably, a few more choices to make like Pratt or Hall. But personally Pratt has that left centre spot based on last and this pre season. He just looks so assured in everything he does. It’s a shame because Hall does have talent too.

Lino or Russell
Smith or Doyle
Pratt or Hall

Then who gets the bench spot in Vagana/Atoni? Or even Faatili

What a position to be in.

I thought Doyle was injured. So Smith will likely play

Doyle started contact last week so can’t be far off…

Warrington name their stadium after Luke Littler for one night. Is this a new low for the sport, a leading club simping for a chuffing’ darts player?

A world champion dart player who is the highest profile sportsman outside football right now. And he's local.

For one day (when he is attending the game) I think it's good marketing.

Happy Tuesday to you.....

To be fair he’s a massive Warrington fan, hence his choice of shirt and as PT points out he’s up there with popularity at the moment I wish he was from Wakefield,

Although I know what you mean P T- is darts a 'sport' ?I personally feel there has to be some physical contribution to be a sport.
Darts is a game - you only have to look at some of the participants to see that the only exertion some have had is lifting a pint or three - just my opinion of course!
