[Eleftherios]

Comfortable win for Warrington by 12

[Old Frightful]

Really looking forward to listening to this on Saturday. I reckon this game could produce any result. Overconfident Wire could come unstuck but if they score a couple early doors they could score almost as many as they want.

Wire 38 Rervers 14.

[Leeds Wire]

Rovers have a 16 point start with the bookies, which seems a lot to me. I expect them to come out battling.

Should be another good crowd at the 'Alliwell too, with a 3pm Saturday kick off.

Can't wait.

That's a big handicap for this early in the season. I think Rovers look alright this year, probably not contenders, but competitive. Especially the pack. You have to back Warrington to win, but they will have to work for it. 

24-16

[GazTheDon]

Wolves all the way for me.

[The Future is League]

Wolves by 8

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wire by 18.

Wire 22-20 Hull KR 

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

Going to form, Warrington by a bucket load, Rovers were average against an even more average Hull team, still early doors so you never know how things will turn out.

[PoorhousePete]

Can't see Rovers nicking this one. Hope I'm wrong but the 16 point handicap sounds about right to me going on the one game we've seen.

[Red robin]

Rovers ain’t the push overs they were last season. I don’t expect a victory but I do expect a good hard game.  

[Ullman]

Of all the score predictions so far I'm hoping Old Frightful's is the closest but I think this could be a battle for Warrington. I certainly think Rovers will offer sterner resistance than Leeds did last week.

[Old Frightful]

VaiVai dropped by Hull KR.

As one of their supposed better players, let the rumours commence.

[Old Frightful]

First blood to Rervers, Drinkwater creates a try for Ben Crooks.

[Old Frightful]

Wire restore parity, easy sounding walk in try for Harvey Livett, Ratchford converts, Wire 6 Rervers 4.

Muppet fans amongst the Wire faithful go wild.

[Old Frightful]

Repeat set for Wire after Hall puts the ball dead.

Joel Tomkins intercepts and makes halfway.

[Old Frightful]

BIFF!

Blake Austin in sin bin after a late flop on Tomkins.

[Old Frightful]

Craig Hall takes advantage of Drinkwater's pass to exploit the Wire sin binning.

Wire 6 Rervers 8.

[Old Frightful]

Commentator has just said "Lee Briers is married to Craig Hall's' sister, it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top" 

[Old Frightful]

Flying pig over, Wire 10 Rervers 8.

[Old Frightful]

Ratchford increases it to 12-8 with conversion.

Arf tarm.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Why is it so close?

[Old Frightful]

Partly Wire overconfidence, partly Wire with 12 men for 10 mins, partly 'cause Rervers are better than most think?

(Actually, scrap that last one...)

Has there been a few sin binnings ? Austin was mentioned earlier. Should have been binned against Leeds.
