First game of 2010 for about 35 minutes before Sia got injured?

Yep. And none of us could see anyway.

The Hull fans made me laugh with their song that night. It was the only thing that was entertaining that night mind you.

I think we'll go pretty well this year and depending on how the players react to the coach, we could have a really good season (especially if we're luckier with injuries too!). But I get the feeling this game could be a little bit too early for us. We're naturally slow starters and we've basically got 2 new centre's lining up and two new half backs (haven't played together in a competitive game since June last year), which makes me a little bit concerned about our edge defence, particularly the left hand side. Wigan are preparing for a WCC and will be going into the year almost full tilt.

It's a game we can win if we defend well, but I don't think we're anywhere near favourites going into this one. If we won this one, I'd be delighted but it isn't the end of the world if we dont.

Now that's what I call hedging my bet.
BTW Blob I agree with you, because the first games of the season are normally a lottery and Wigan in previous years have been caught cold. Like you I'd love a win but won't be slitting my wrists if we dont.

i hate saying this but cant see anything but an easy win for wigan, similar score to the first game last year in the fog against hullfc

At the end of the day remember it is the end of the season that counts not the beginning. Much as we would like to win especially as it is against Wigan it won't be the end of the world. I think we will put up a better performance than many people think we will. Its a DERBY anything goes.
