Widnes v WIGAN, Pies to have too much firepower.
ST HELENS v Catalans, Really looking forward to seeing the bad-boy pull the strings for the French but notorious early season poor travellers.
WARRINGTON v Salford, Fancy Salford to be competing around 8th with us at seasons end but Wires too strong.
HUDDERSFIELD v Hull, Tough away opener against a strong looking Giants. hope and pray we compete.
KR v Leeds, Fancy our neighbours I hate to admit. Campese and Kelly could form an excellent partnership this season.
CASTLEFORD v Wakefield, Don't think Cas will be the force they were last year after losing key men but might still have to much for Wakey.

WIDNES V Wigan Shock of round 1
ST Helens v CATALAN, think catalan might just win this one
Warrington V SALFORD, warrington don't wake up till into the season
Huddersfield v HULL FC - Huddersfield 1st team have only played 80mins (in their friendly's, hull could catch them on the hop
Hull kr V LEEDS Leeds to strong
CASTLEFORD v Wakefield, same as leeds think they will be to strong for wakefield

WIDNES V Wigan fancy Widnes to pull off a bit of a shock at home.
ST HELENS v Catalans saints at home to win but hopefully see some quality from catalans.
WARRINGTON V salford would have liked this game to be a sky game to see the new Salford.
HUDDERSFIELD V Hull head ruling the heart.
Hull KR V LEEDS will be a lot closer then last years opener but fancy Leeds to edge it.
Castleford V WAKEY Wakey seem to be better prepared and could cause an upset.

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.

widnes V WIGAN close game but wigan to pull away in the second half.
ST HELENS v Catalans Saints to win in another close one.
WARRINGTON V salford game of the round for me and salford to miss out by a couple of points.
HUDDERSFIELD V HULL draw - sitting firmly on the fence.
Hull KR V LEEDS First signs of whether rovers new players are gelling and whether leeds ageing team is still up to it.
CASTLEFORD V wakey Comfortable for Cas who i think will do well again this season.

Cant wait for the new season, off-season is the longest, most boring thing to have to wait through!

Cue the Sky Sports numpties!

Half an hour in and reviewed the teams but still no mention of an East Yorkshire team.

Beat me to it. In fairness apart from Clarke and Cuthbertson precious little this side of the Pennines.
