Some very confident Wakefield fans. I don't blame you, I do the same with widnes. I wouldn't take us too lightly though. Looking at our squad I would make you favourites but who knows. Our biggest loss is watts, Flynn and briscoe are also missing along with phelps. Wakefield have made some decent signings but the way some of you go on make it sound like your signings are amazing.



Watts, cross, Clarke, Moore, briscoe and phelps to name a few are some very big signings IMO for a club that's new to the league.



I won't wish you look but wish you safe travels tomorrow hoping you bring a good following as predicted. Will be interesting seeing smith and johnnteaming up.

Not sure about the ones you listed being very good.



Clarke, Moore and maybe briscoe although lost form last year.



Phelps is steady, cross hasn't broken any pots in SL despite playing at top teams. He did get knocked out twice in one game though

.



In all seriousness nobody is taking wishes lightly. The fact it's the first SL game, you have home advantage is reason enough for wakey to be cautious.



Wishes have signed better than Salford at least IMO. There has been alot more investment in wakefield 2012 and I feel we are being underestimated but.. Wouldn't have it any other way





Just hoping for a good game

With such a new squad, how can we call it? I havent even looked at Widnes' squad. That's the trouble these days. Journeyman merrygoround means it's impossible to read early on. We'll know after a few games. I think we may win but very close I would expect.

Stop sitting on the fence

MOM John

Like it!!

When Stevo tipped against us, how many times did he refer to 'the Widnes outfit' and did he, by any chance, remark that Dennis Betts and/or Richard Agar have got to 'get the message out there?'



I've missed lots of things about the SL season, but that divot isn't one of them.

Wakefield 28 Widnes 16, MOM Isaac John. Stevo to say Wakefield won due to bad refereeing, with 30 penalties being blown.

Nothing would give me greater pleasure tomorrow night than to whoop Widnes in their own back yard on their plastic paradise. The critics and Sky brigade are just waiting and hoping for us to fail so their precious Boots 'n All script is ready written for next week. Having watched the Cas game pre season I feel so calm and confident about our guys I don't fear losing at all and I've been to many games in recent years on pins more in hope than anything else that we might win but this is a whole new feeling. I said on the Widnes board we'd win by 7 so I'll stick with that, Widnes 20 Trinity 27. Hope there's a predict-a-score on the bus. See you all then guys.

I dont want to predict anything just hope for a good game to start the season off and a safe journey on the coach for us fans!

Widnes 16 - Wakefield 20



MoM - Fox.

Have to agree with a previous poster that wakefield +2pts is an absolute steal and Catalans off -2pts is crazy??? Bradford will get beat by at least 20pts.



If they repeat the Cas performance i think we will win, and win well. The bookies and pundits will take note after tonight so this is the time to get stuck in financially. Fill your boots.



Also love the fact that the Sun has us down to finish bottom.
