Tansey
Owen
Shenton

Chase
Ellis
Mason
Clark

Gilmour

Milner
Massey

13; Tompson
14; Milner
15; Massey
16; Emmet
17; Mason ?
18; Holmes

Listening to Basel i don't think he will risk Tansey

I think it'll be a close game, but hopefully we'll just edge a thriller...

you really think it will be a close game?? warrington look stronger than last season. i think we are looking at a long sunday afternoon to start the season.

7-0 to Cas

They have no game time, so I really don't want to play Mason or Tansey.

That said, they won't have any next week either, there is no reserve fixture to play in, so if they are fit they may as well play.

If Tansey doesn't play as we suspect he wont, then we are in makeshift wing/centre territory, although having Gilmour there is not too shabby.

Tansey and one of the forwards to drop out, whoever is not right - be that Mason.

If it were my choice

owen
tansey
shenny
carney
webster
rangi
elliss
huby
milner
emmitt
gilmour
hauraki
millington

clark
mason
walker
thmpson

Are you new...?

We might,if we are lucky, hold Warrington to half time as Hull did tonight with Leeds. Come the second half though I think it will be very difficult and we'll spend quite a bit of time warming the space behind the posts. Just like last season.

First game of the season who knows? but I am also wondering who will be the first Team to put 50 past Cas this season. Warrington or Leeds, we are in for another long hard season.
