I'm more nervous than excited for tonight, I know it's only round one but I really would like us to get off to a decent start this season, I don't think Salford will be the pushovers people are making out, I can see us going behind but then ultimately pulling away, a bit like the KR friendly.

Sorry Shabs, you're totally off here, it was a huge swinging arm to the head of a player on the floor, red card all day long and there was absolutely no need for it.

Oops. Didn’t mean Pele, talking about the second red! Was it Sao?

Sao Kneed Parcell in the head twice, it was maybe a bit harsh but you simply cannot hit the head these days, and players know that.

I think he might get sending off sufficient but Parcell will pick up a ban.

I think he will be looking at 8 games at least. If the RFL have any credibility they need to back up their tough talking pre season regarding player welfare. He should get at least 5 for the initial cowardly offence, and another 3 for another cowardly strike in the ensuing melee where he sucker punched a player (Mikey Lewis ?) from behind. I think Kyle Amor was lucky to escape the pre match interview with him unscathed. Looked like he wanted to do some pretty nasty things to Mr Amor.

Definitely agree Parcell should cop a couple of games along with Sao who also touched the ref as he was given the red which might increase his to 3.

Depressing to hear if true. You'd have to think they'll make a decision on him in the first third of the season and in order to extend or look attractive to other clubs he'll have to play. Seems like it's always a struggle, despite the obvious talent. Probably Roberts to the wing then.

I'd rather play Martin in the centres and move Newman to the wing than play Roberts. You can get 80 mins out of O'Connor in the second row and Ackers at prop.

Some interesting calls re Donaldson prop and Goudemand back row though they will interchange. Also very disappointing re fusitua again

I’ve really missed the live meltdowns on here during the games, wonder if we will get that tonight. Maybe just wait til full time to post guys
