Would absolutely not be surprised one bit if we beat London.

Sorry....I have a lot of time for Widnes as a club and for their fans, but we should absolutely hammer you on Sunday and if by some strange fate, we do lose to you, I will be more than absolutely surprised....I'll be stunned!
The Squad we had last year was capable of a top 8 finish.....this years squad, a top 6...anything less than at least one extra game at the end of the seaon will be a massive failure in most fans eyes and beating teams like yours is key to making the top 6!
Enjoy you trip to the capital.

Urmston Wire welcome on board- I could have been called Partington Wire!!! I’m also exiled in the south(20 years now!)- You will enjoy the Stoop and seeing the Broncos beat the scousers will make it doubly enjoyable for a Wire fan. The initiation ceremony involves publically burning last season Wire top.(unless it was you who burnt it at the Wire-Quins game a couple of seasons back when Matt King took a load of abuse from the Wire fans)

As for Centre- Channing must be in the prime position having played all 3 games there-Not that well against Catalans it would seem from the highlights

Ta muchly Wire Quin, and to the rest of you too- hopefully I'll run into you all at the bar at some point. (Partington eh- not twinned with Urmston but it does share a suicide pact).

I was sat right behind that bloke giving King stick that day- not the most embarassing thing Wire managed to do that day!

Don't forget that the CEO's number 1 priority is finding a new ground.

Slightly disrespectful, not to the club of widnes but to our players. We had horrible injuries last year, star signing watts played 20 mins of the season, we had to sack Moore, briscoe, one of our better players played eight games. We never went anywhere near the salary cap like you guys and could have snatched 3/4 more wins. Yourselves, Catalans, saints and hull kr.

Unfortunately every team does suffer injury problems but us more so. We should be capable of finishing 10th or above with a fit squad. We have 4/5 first choice players missing against you.

Like I said previously I think London are favourites but nothing I've come across so far would convince me that you should hammer us this Sunday.

I always think you should respect your opponents, at least before a game. A derby game is somewhat different. Pride goes before a fall and all that, and you really shouldn't give the opposing team any ammo!

No disrespect meant...I genuinely think we will hammer them on Sunday and will be more than happy to eat humble pie if proven wrong.

Yes, but we had Powell as head coach for most of last season.

Top 6 ?

Early season optimism is always good.

Should beat Widnes at home, though.

Some arrogant posts on here, after a few Pre Season friendly wins.Well i hope your players are as complacent, as the fans posting on this forum.I expect London to win, but some posts are very disrespecful to Widnes.Tin Pot team and expect to come 6th, what arrogance you Southern Fairies. Glad i am not going your place this year with that attitude.
