Tough one to call. 4-6 points either way I think but not willing to say which way!

[latchford albion]

Can't call it, but half term means I can get to the game.  Can't wait.

Me too. Looking forward to the curtain opener 

Decent band on before game too ( Lathams )

[Harry Stottle]

Wire win.

[Tommygilf]

Massive pressure on Wire to win this I think, Leeds got a lot to prove but nothing to lose really. Should be a good game.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Looking forward to this as it is a real coin toss as to who will come out on top.

Its not like leeds are some amateur side taking on a SL in the cup, Leeds will have pressure to win this game just like Warrington, what is clear is that it still only 2 points up for grabs. 

[Chrispmartha]

Not got a clue who wins to be honest.

Although I will predict which ever side loses many people will writing that teams season off after one game.

[LeytherRob]

I think Wire might pip this one with Leeds missing key players, but it will be close. Looking forward to this one, should be a cracker to kick off the season.

Far less pressure on Leeds I think. Given the money spent and last year, Powell is under massive pressure.

Leeds looking very weak in the named squad with so many first choice players out already so Wire have to start firm favourites.

wire win Dufty hattrick 

[Tippytoe]

If the Rhinos edge defence isn't up to scratch Warrington could get some joy with their speed merchants having too much for the Rhinos.

Warrington 24-16 Leeds

Relegation 4 pointer and i can see the fat unicorns sneaking it, sorry Wire i don't think it's your year this time.

[WN83]

I fancy Wire to win this reasonably comfortably. Leeds looked to have plenty missing when I saw their squad earlier and I think Wire will want to make a statement. I expect Dufty, Williams, Drinkwater and Clark (and Walker from the bench) to form a pretty dangerous spine on the back of a big forward pack.

Walker and clark are interesting ones, Daz looked done as a player last year, he looked a little better in the leigh game running off the back of bigger forwards, he just looked a mile better.

 

Walker is still a bit too small for me, he's got a good kicking game which clark doesn't, powell supposedly likes him but he also got treated very similarly last year as he did under price, start a game, play 20 minutes then get dragged off when we were losing and then not seen in the team for a few weeks.
