Banter aside... this is an intriguing start and I don't think could predict either team with any real confidence.

 

So many ifs and buts... not sure Leeds will be functioning too well yet. Particular having watched Zak as nominated kicker, have a 1 in 5 (I think) success rate in the Bradford "training game" recently, which in a close game will be important then I'm siding with Warrington. 

 

The extra points from conversions really do change the dynamics of the game from controlling the game in later quarter. Where somebody with Sinfields accuracy meant Leeds managing the game out as distinct from chasing. The other team chasing and leaving gaps for Leeds to exploit

 

Looking forward to how Leeds cope in tight game with a low return conversion kicker.

Expect wire to take this, gidley looked like a great addition when he played against us, though I'm not sure that says much tbh!

[GeordieSaint]

Gone for a draw... I think Warrington will surprise people this year.

[Dunbar]

I'm going for a Warrington win. It's a good time to play Leeds as they look to adapt to the new leadership and I expect Wire to start the season well.

[Arch Stanton]

8-28 Really upbeat how the Wire will go this year.Gidley looks a fantastic goalkicker too which we haven't had for a long time

Now the Wire.

[damp squib]

Leeds 10 - 18 Wire

The first of many incorrect predictions to come.

[Futtocks]

Well, 2016 has four digits, so it must be Warrington's year. Scientifically undeniable!

[chuffer]

Lol, I thought it was always hull's year?

[CiderWire]

Mmmmm, could go either way due to Wires big changes in personnel and, let's face it, Leeds have lost three absolute stalwarts. It'll be close but im backing Wire to pinch it 18-14.

I thought that Brett Hodgson was a half decent goal kicker?

[John Rhino]

Leeds by 8.

Wire bringing 12 coaches of fans across. Good effort.
