How many fans u going to bring around 300? cant wait for the game

Thanks for starting the match thread, let's hope you have broken the curse.

Lets hope so Jim

I will be making a stupidly long and convoluted trip. Damn those air traffic controllers [sizein Whitby[/size

I love Whitby...

I've had Scampi from there.

Magpies restaurant for me, every time.

Sadly, I'll be working out there while about 3, then race back across three counties in time for kick-off. No time for a trip to Magpies.

Gutting... we went the other week on our way back from Newcastle.

I have never been so stuffed in all my life. We walked out along the pier in a huge gale just to try and avoid taking root in our seats.

Best chips ever.

Back to the match... I am feeling a lot more positive about this one for some reason.
Seeing the Walters interview for the first time on B 'n' A last night made me nervous as there is clearly something going down behind the scenes.

But generally in sport a win gets everyone going in the right direction and if we get one I am sure more will follow.

Kane starts at hooker if he passes a fitness test tomorrow morning, with Casey at half.

That reason wouldn't be that your playing Salford would it?

.

Going off both teams less than scintillating start to the season this should be a close match. Hopefully, our improved last 2 performances and home advantage will swing it in our favour. I'll go for 24-14 to Salford.

Hopefully the weather will hold off as it could be a really low attendance if it decides to chuck it down! Anyway, safe journey over and let's hope we make it a miserable return trip

I see Kane coming in after a great game against Lezignan in the French Cup.

Has Barthau been dropped or is he injured?

Injured thumb
