Leeds and 3 of the tougher teams with the exception of Wigan to follow to complete our first 4 fixtures I’ve heard.

It’s a good time to play Leeds I think as the conditions will be terrible and they won’t have had time to fully gel.

It’s a tough first month back in the top flight, or so I’m lead to believe.

Just hope the fans stick with us through what promises to be if what I’ve been told is right will be a baptism of fire.

Nice to see that the travelling Trinity fans get the buzz of the opening fixture. Friday night too I would guess so double joy.

Call me cynical but I did expect a rough first set of fixtures so no surprise. The jury still out on Leeds though. They’re mid table and haven’t been a top team on the pitch for years.

I think Leeds will be much improved this year. Signed well and in the areas they struggled.

Probably best time to play them though first game if the season.

I expect t then to be top 4 in 2025.

Very big jump and claim to have Leeds top 4. They’ve not been close recent years.

I can’t see it personally. I don’t particularly rate their spine in being consistent. Players like Cam Smith, Oledski and Bentley are bang average and I think are nowhere near good enough even for mid table SL.

I can’t realistically see them mid table again. Who knows though, you could be right.

To be fair this year there aren't many week teams. Hull, Leeds and Hudds will be better. I don't see Cas been much better unless they strengthen their pack. Westerman and Watts at prop is a high risk. We will need our team to gel quick, Leeds should give us a good marker where we are.
