Welcome back to the big league! Now let's hope the RFL don't enforce a magic weekend derby and we can focus on 2 big derby games next year

Never mind the rfl, let's hope the two clubs scrap the 'friendly'. They won't like, as it's a money spinner, and you can't really have a go at the two clubs for wanting to make money can you.

Our backs have been strong? they've only come into their own against lower opposition lately. The last 4/5 games of the season I think we scored around 6 tries in total. Outside of Lunt and Clarkson, I don't really rate any of your pack too much. You's will be somewhat up for this game but it's definitely not a fixture that worries me. If we can do what we did to Leigh and play with the same intensity, Saturday shouldn't be an issue. Couldn't care less if we game was at our place, your place or played in the Middle East, without being anything near spectacular this year, our quality will shine through.

I trust you still don't rate our pack? The pack that tackled the life out of your team and secured our promotion?

I'm particularly drunk, happy and looking forward to watching the mpg this season.

I hope Widnes go down. Nothing team that bring absolutely zero to the league. Deserve to go down on league standings. Not once did we come bottom in 10 years. poop club, poop fans. Good riddance.

Totally agree on the finishing bottom. Huddersfield shoulda gone down last season and it would only be justice that Widnes go this season for finishing bottom over the course of 23 regular season games.

Widnes fan. You totally deserve your place back in super league, well done! Totally gutted we lost. Just hope we can stick around to play you next year

Great to have you back in SL. Saw my first derby back in the 40's at Craven Park when Freddie Miller and Eric? McWatt were the 2 full backs and have looked forward to these clashes ever since.

Agree about the magic weekend (like to see it as a full round of cup 1/4 finals or last 16) if the coaches wanted the preseason then ok but use it as a fundraiser for the local game & celebrate all things Rugby in the area like double header with council cup final or something on those lines.
