I agree with all of that, but:

1. Are we likely to win the CC?
2. Are we likely to pick up more injuries playing against SL teams?
3. Which would you prefer, a good run in the CC and half the squad out with season long injuries or to drop out in the next couple of rounds and have a good run in the NRC and League?

Everybody wants to see the team do well and win every game, but I'd just be happy to compete at the top level in the league we are in and a cup we have a chance of winning.

I don't want us to lose the semi of the NRC and end up 3rd in the league because we only have half a squad and end up with nothing.

Whats with all this negativity ? Lets try and win every game

If we play any where near as bad as our first half performance last week against the Eagles you will have no problem.

too close for me to call

25 1/2 hrs to go...... cant wait!!!!! [sizeCOME ON FAX...... [/size Lets put a marker down for the rest of the season. I like what Dwayne Barker had to say about this in today's courier. The players are up for this, lets make sure we all are!! For Widnes, Cullen has named a squad of 19 for the game. Fletcher is back but sadly for us TKL will be missing www.widnesvikings.co.uk/view_news.php?ID=470

It's the challenge cup, neither side are likely to progress much further after this round anyway. I hope we win but it wont be the end of the world if we lose.)

it will be a close game but i think fax have a better pack.

Fax 28-18 Widnes

Watched the live game on sky a few weeks ago and Fax looked pretty awesome. Beswick must be the buy of the league for you guys.

Skybet have given Widnes an 8pt Start on the Handicap betting.

I am not a betting man, don't understand it at all.

Does this mean that the bookies think that they will beat us by 8 points?

I'm not a bettin man either...but think it's the other way round,we'll beat them by 8!! Please correct me if i'm wrong!!

Does that mean:

20 - 20 is not a draw in their eyes
28 - 20 is a draw

I think Widnes will win tonight, as they have the added advantage of Toa Kohe-Love not playing.

True, he is worth 3 or 4 penalties per game. We will have to rely on Doran to give away more silly penalties.
