Hmm. FC have the same number of first teamers out, reportedly. We finished 8th, they finished top. They have a far more settled squad and a proven SL coach. I'd rather play them now before they get into their mid season 50 points a game routine, of course, but to rate our chances as "fantastic" is just pushing it too far in your attempt to be me.
Of course the weird thing is that, having spent the offseason slating:
Our preparation, and performance against a team just heavily beaten Leeds:
Quote ="Rupert Pupkin"Talk of training the house down, been way ahead of schedule in pre-season, once again we have heard all these stories and the fact Gentle came out and said how seriously they was taking the game.Fairly substantial loss? Of the points scored, the Green try was from a lucky bounce of the ball and we plenty of conversions
'"
Seymour:
Quote ="Rupert Pupkin"Spoke to my mate at the game at halftime(FC passholder), said Rovers where in control and FC not offering much, mentioned Seymoor was very quiet.'"
Heremaia
Quote ="Rupert Pupkin"And on the other hand he could be as poor as he was when he was back playing in this country for Leigh, he has improved as a player since his move back home and switching to hooker looks like its paid off, maybe he just didn't settle over here, maybe that will happen again.'"
Squad strength:
Quote ="Rupert Pupkin"Because your squad is nowhere near strong enough. You have a new team to gel, backroom staff to gel, a change upstairs.
I would imagine a top 6 finish would be huge for your club seeing as its been so long since you was last at that level'"
Quote ="Rupert Pupkin"You talk about these recent players you have signed as not a huge downtrade but a downtrade they are, something that was not goint to happen according to Pearson. More potential for trouble with Aspinwall than Horne, another thing your club has tried to remove over the years but looks like failing again.'"
And potential:
Quote ="Rupert Pupkin"Not sure your playing style will resemble West Tigers, Cott Tigers maybe!'"
Suddenly on matchday and missing some key players, we are favourites to win against the table-toppers in your eyes? Bless you. ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

Reportedly (do pay attention), Heremaia, Seymour, O'Carroll, Martin
Heremaia would definitely be in the 17.
How can Rovers have been playing the champions on Friday, and FC not be playing the table-toppers? You make less sense with every post. Give it up, cockle, and get your bet on. ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

Wire have real class players missing, players who would be in the starting 13, players who would walk into your side. Thats why I think you have a good chance of a win today, they have a fair bit of shuffling around to do within their squad.
As so you state, only reportedly out, who are the official players missing from the FC squad?

Heremaia and Seymour are vitally important to us as they form part of the spine of the team, regardless of how good people think they are, they will cause as much disruption to us as Hodgson and Briers will to Warrington.

You predicited that Warrington would finish top and we'd finish 8th.
Warrington are missing Briers, J Monaghan, Hodgson and Solomona, we are missing Seymour, Heremaia, Martin and O'Carroll yet you tip us to win?

No shock for me!!....so later if we lose you can comfort yourself by believing we are cr@p, or if we win it is down to them having players missing...
Your far too transparent!

Its the first game of the season!!!! wont make any difference at all in how I felt the teams would finish at the end of the season!
Exactly, they are missing 4 game breakers, players who can produce something special at any time during a game.

It is irrelevant to Rupert if he won MOM in the NRL gand final and scored a 100 tries!!!
Rupert is basing his assessment on Heremaia's performance in the 1st friendly he played in, and tbf that is all he is bright enough to do ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)
