[redsi42]

Wigan, close game first half, Wiginn run away with it in second arf. 32-14

[Eddie]

I’d love to see Leigh win but yes agreed, a comfortable win for  

[MZH]

These early season games are usually a bit of an arm wrestle. Wigan are very good at arm wrestles of course, but I don't think they are going to run away with it.

Wigan 20 v 12 Leigh

Wigan by 24

Leigh played fairly well in the first game at the Brick last year and still lost by 18 points. Not sure how we’ll get anywhere near them this time

Some bad calls in that one but would settle for that tonight, we need our best out and time to gel to compete with the best away, we have neither

[JohnM]

Who's going to win? SuoerLeague, of course.

[Lucy_1873]

Wigan by 20

[wakeyranger]

Gonna go Wigan by 18.

[Henson Park Old Firm]

Going for Wigjam.

[Exiled Wiganer]

I think this could go either way. It’s the first game, so it depends on where teams are in their physical preparation. Leigh have a terrific side, and this is a “free hit” for them. There always comes a point when a winning side simply loses its edge (see City for an extreme example), and it could strike Wigan at any time. 
 

Great to have the greatest game back. 

[Zilla Budgie]

Pies by plenty (unfortunately) 

[Just Browny]

Is this the game thread then? Hard to see past a Wigan win.

It is now! 

[binosh]

Pretty much every Leigh fan I know including myself is expecting the first of our annual Wigan drubbings inspired by the usual god like performance by Bevan French.

[Hanover XIII]

Think Wigan by about 12-16 points. Should be a cracking opening night event, too.

[my missus]

wigan by 18

[Thunder Road]

Wigan by 32 I'd imagine..Too good too well drilled and at home....

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Always a bit tricky doing predictions before the season gets into its stride but even this early it looks fairly comfortable for Wigan, I'll say by 18.

[StandOffHalf]

14-4 to Wiggin.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Looking forward to this game on Sky tonight. 

Love watching French and Field but there's plenty more to like about both teams.

Usual script.  Leigh build a lead then Wigan slowly dismantle it.

[Damien]

Should be great:

 

 

[graveyard johnny]

cant wait to see Armstrong in action for  Leigh, great addition to SL hopefully - mainly can we just LET THE GAME FLOW! please? cant deal with another season of pedantic stop start stuff anymore 

[Chrispmartha]

Cannot wait for the season to start, it feels like it’s been s long off season!

Think Leigh might run them close but Wigan to edge it - just.
