Afternoon lads. Great to be back. Interesting opener with both teams much changed from last season. I just think that the fervour and excitement of returning to SL might carry Widnes through tonight. Would be nice to get off to a good betting start as well !!!

poss the knowledge of the chemics new i pitch may swing it their way
Briscoe, Flynn and Watts missing for Widnes might explain a drift on their price. I'd be weary about backing any team with Ah Van in. Having said that I could say the same about Mathers with Wakey.
Who is going to get them any points out on the field though? That's a genuine question. Widnes look poor on paper and the man their season probably hangs on isnt in the 19.
I'm not saying that Wakey look world beaters though.

Ldee - that is a hell of a contest for biggest liability in superleague. Both can do good, but both can also be hopeless.
Best bet tonight is the 1-5 mins of 1st Wakey cry..." Bloody'ell Mathers!!"
Agree RM Mathers is shocking in defence but he's ok going forward. Wakey have a couple of expirienced strike players in Aiton and Smith with a half decent 3/4 line. Only thing putting me of backing them is this new artificial pitch! God knows what thats going to do to the kicking game, something to focus on in running.
Can anyone confirm please whether it will be Ah Van kicking the 2-pointers for Widnes? Have a feeling Betts will be asking them to take whatever is on offer in a possible tight game.
If it's any use, he kicked in the friendly against Saints a couple of weeks ago.
Ah Van is first choice kicker with Craven, Haggerty and White as possible alternatives. Would have been confident of a Widnes win with Watts, Briscoe, Flynn and Davies in the side. Also Kite and Phelps yet to arrive.
wot shyte there banging on with about the pitch!
Players might get cramp?? wtf
Wrong cleats & watch them crash to the deck as they miss the cutbacks against the grain.
As for kicking, flat kick & the ball with keep rolling, so with the cold weather it'll be knock on season tonight

looking forward to the stats/kpi/bash the bookies info!
Fred is doing money back on certain markets if an Aussie scores last try tonight.
Anybody know of top of their head which Aussies are playing please?

What on earth is that Widnes line-up. Clarke at half-back????
Hanbury, Cross, Southern, Collis & Smith more chance tomz night Vis.
i'll play the draw tonight for an interest & hope Widnes fall behind early, don't see many pts between the two sides
good to see widnes back in the big time,it`s been far to long,the league would be ideal if the pointless london broncos were given the boot and halifax brought back,they`ve been playing for 30 years in london now and it`s still not taken off
i`ll be on the vikings tonight,home advantage and all that!

how long before stevo makes a **** up of a try prediction!!!!
Draw looks a decent position to take at 30. Will not drift higher than that in running in my opinion until somebody breaks the 2 score ahead barrier and every chance we are sub 20 before HT.
there you go first call and stevo gets it wrong initially

You've nailed it tommo.
Stevo gets the first video ref call of the season completely and utterly wrong

lol,the bloke is a fool,don`t mind hemming tbh,they should get barrie mcdermott in as his co commentator
Widnes ropey as feck outside & they need a fullback...
And Richie Mathers comes up with an early gem!!
It's like 2010 all over again

What a start to the season for Ben Cockayne. 2 bombs and a knock-on.
Bit chaotic this, but plenty of scope for entertainment. Neither team likely to defend their line properly.

Thaler on crack. How on earth can he have seen that "strip"?
If Widnes cant score with that much possession and that many decisions their way, they are in for a long game/season.
Great defence by Wakey and they follow it up with a try straight away.
Widnes really firing into everything, but they have a few daft players and are making too many errors.

Why did Mathers not just run for the try line ffs?
Clear space in front so he ducks back and lobs the ball to nobody.

shocked that wasn't given but fair play as there looked to be seaparation
Widnes getting a lot of help from Thaler tonight. Making nothing of it though.
this margin meter is b*llocks.
12 point widnes win is now down to 3 points. These lads need to start putting some money into the BF markets

+ whoever programmed it to come out with an odd number margin needs to do some recoding if that is the best they can come up with
I can hardly wait to see what the Margin Meter makes the final score now
Leeds/Wire/Pies not losing much sleep over these two anyway
Great innovation if the mug punters are lining up to follow it, RM 
don't mind that 6 point gap with Wakey looking lively enough in attack at times.
4pts would be bttr as they're kicker looks shyte & they're best attacks have been wide so far
I just can't think who they've added it for 
No sane gambler will take any notice of it,and any viewers just watching the game without a bet won't give a hoot about it anyway.
It can only make it's self look stupid over the course of the season(They'll probably get it bang on tonight now I've said all that )

PMSL we are now at Widnes by 15.
Looks like we are due a DG boys. Lump on

How the fugg are Wakey losing this? Widnes are totally inept at defending, the left handside is useless, and Wakey easily making 30 yards from the 1st 3 ptb's.
There's no need for any science, some fat bloke in a studio can just say "Widnes have had a lot of ball, therefore they will win by 12"
It sums up the superleague coverage entirely to have a random score generator as a way of selling the sport.

The longer they keep coming up with an odd number margin the more ridicule it deserves to get.
They would be better plumbing into BF and translating the odds and saying "Widnes are now 58% likely to win the game from here"

knock on ffs get on with it. Its knocked on in first instance
that suits me a lot but can't be having that decision at all
what the hell is the video ref looking at there
was a clear knock on from the angle with the ref in shot from behind sticks

I'm with you Isotonic, I think that was a knock-on.
On the plus side the video ref has no idea, but has given a positive result, which I like. Too many tries chalked off for no good reason.

This one looks clear cut. Held back all day long. Farce if given.
lol RM thats ome way to look at it. On another matter its looks almost impossible to turn on this pitch
I find it much easier to forgive refs when they find a positive result.
In that case it would surely have been easier to just get it right though!!

Jesus three high tackles and then just warning.. DOes this ref know Alain Roland??
Glad it was you that said that Iso
You have to just punch someone to stand a chance of yellow in this league.

Mathers gets one, but I think I could have finished that. Parted like the red sea.
Far from high quality tonight, but at least we have a game on.

throw the meter in the bin after one week please.
Wakey 8 up and it calculates Wakey win by 3.
Have you ever seen such shyte???

Wakey ahead by 8 and looking like running away with it and the meter says by 3 points !!
oh well that yellow caps a poor night for me
laid Wakey just before the took the lead and have never recovered

I think I have it. The meter automatically allocates points to the opposition when Mathers details are inputted.
Meter says 8 point win at 14-22. 5 seconds later, Wakey try. Fantastic bit of kit.
Taken Wakey a long time to prove it, but I think they have been, and are, the better team (although that may change when Widnes get some of their players back).
But with Mathers and Cockayne they can always give away some stupid tries.
