So, a new season beckons.



First up are the noisy neighbours. Who's going and what do we expect/hope will happen?



I think it will be a big crowd (maybe 10k+) so should be a cracking atmosphere.

I don't think Cas will pose the same threat around the quick PTBs as they did last season without Clarke.

Hopefully our Forwards can lay a good platform and we can snatch the result.

followed by a few in the Glassblower, and everyone's happy

Weirdly, and maybe completely without substance, but I have a hunch Trinity will do the business here. I usually expect defeat so victories come as a pleasant superseded.



Cas have done well with selling season tickets so I expect a 9k+ crowd.

We'll do 'em !

The pre-match entertainment will be poor. An entertaining game as always. Normal service resumed from cas's one season wonder year with a tightly contested affair until last quarter when Wakey smash out a few trys.



Score will be 18-40. Hopefully cas can pick themselves up after losing their best players from last year.



Wakey to take a good following contributing to a 9k + crowd.



I'll have a beer or few pre game. Probably kronenbourg.

It makes me laugh how a lot of people (not just Cas fans) think they are a shoe in for a top 4 spot again. Why ? The standout players from last season have jumped ship, the rest of the squad over-performed on the back of the likes of Clark and Sneyd; It happens occasionally. My money is on them to be bottom 4 pushing for a top 8 spot, the same as us. The same as every other season therefore this fixture is a flip of the coin, whichever team wants it more will win.

No, whichever team has more points will win

This..

On paper this should be a very easy win for Cas, they have a very strong defence, our defence pre season has been very poor. Defence wins matches. If we try and play the same style as in the pre season games ie trying to play an attacking game even in our own half then I fear we get a hammering.

Cas also have a few first teamers in doubt for the game.

I agree with belly we have to be much better defensively but if we are, we can surely win our first game of the season as we did at Widnes 2 seasons ago. I predict a close affair but think we will just edge it by 6 to 8 points. They did us 3 times last season, time to notch a win against our nearest and dearest and I'm really looking forward to witnessing it. Come on Trinity!!

I hope the optimistic predictions on here are proved right!

It's very hard to judge our team at this stage because, yet again, we have a few new players in pivotal positions.

The pack does however look as good as we've had for years.

My worry is at half back, we know Tim can win a game but he has to work well with Miller.

I know Cas' have lost some good players but they have a coach who seems able to motivate 'ordinary' players.

Too close to call for me, could go either way.

Cas will be one season wonders trust me, teams at the end of last season Sussed them out, a narrow victory for the Jeremy Kyle regulars.
