TBH, unless we are clear at the top of the table, then this reaction will go on all season. Last season reminded me of Andersons first season in-charge, but he managed to sort things out and we kicked on, although he had a stronger squad to work with.



I am confident that we will beat Hull, although it will be a tough game and i think Hull will go well this season. I'd say they will be looking at around about 5th, definatly comfortably in the top 8. Obviously injuries play a big part for all teams, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. I think we'll beat Hull by about 8-10 points, it'd be nice to see Longy have a good season though, wish him well.

I have to say it seemed mighty strange seeing Long in a Hull shirt. I can`t wait for the new season to start,and we can`t have a better yardstick to asses our prospects than a game against Saints.

I think Saints, just. I'd be surprised if Long didn't have a good game against us. I'm itching to see Soliola in action, I'm hoping for some bone-crushing defence.

Really looking forward to this, the fact Longy is our captain now really gets the juices going, the showman that he is I expect it will be a grand affair for him and I have no doubts he will step up to the mark..I also expect a fantastic battle of the forwards..Think we do just enough.

master v apprentice in longy v kyle will be prove interesting!

could we see a carlos tevez situation arise here.would longy celebrate if he scored a try.he will be out to prove a point. prove that he could of still done the job in a redvee

I can imagine he would have mixed feelings if he scored a try.I should think he would celebrate as if he was at any other game.

(I know I would celebrate!)

It should be a great game, i can't wait

We will be bringing a mass of fans too so it should be a great atmosphere for the first big clash of the season. I hope we win but can see you beating us by 2-8 points. should be a good day out. I like the new Longy t-shirts made for the occasion.

I still think Saints will win but I think Hull have a great chance of turning Saints over. I think our pack will get the better of theirs as I would imagine will be the case alot of the time this season. But can our inexpieranced backs pull it off? Close game with the winning team winning by no more than 8 points.

Maurie looked like his old self tonight, which was nice!

Watching him last weekend the guy is still class and i have no doubt he will have a point to prove.I am really excited about how Saints will try and deal with him playing for the black and whites,as he will be the dangerman playing against you.
