Widnes V WIGAN : Pies too strong
ST HELENS v Catalan : Hometown advantage for Saints
WARRINGTON V Salford : Salford can't buy success (although Warrington have had a good go)
Huddersfield v HULL FC : Hull at a canter (hohum)
HULL KR V Leeds : Rovers on their own muck, Leeds another year older.
CASTLEFORD v Wakefield : Castleford hoping to prove last year was no flash in the pan.

Jordan Turner is developing into a very good player and there young prop Walmsley is going to be top notch.

Yep WZ, have to agree. Walmsley looks a class act, he's come on a lot. Turner too looks the part but the whole squad looks half decent. Any idea why Lomax doesn't kick anymore ? It'll be interesting to see how Cunningham runs the show, some of the tactics last night weren't exactly 'inspiring'...

As Hull essentially replaced Turner with Arundel we can safely say that this is one piece of business that hasn't worked out, as it wouldn't have been a financial decision if Arundel's alleged salary is true.

The run of penalties was strange as you don't see that too often but that's because most refs bottle it after about 3 in a row frightened they'll be labelled biased and turn a blind eye to continued offending. Presumably that's what the Sts were hoping would happen. Credit to the ref in this case for remaining consistent and not backing down in this unusual battle of wills.

Glad to see him recovered after being rattled by Sa last season

Good effort so far.
As long as you get the fourth one down right you are forgiven.
