Our next game sees us travel across the M62 to Widnes. This will be another huge test against a tough Vikings outfit who have taken the spoils in 4 of the last 5 meetings between the 2 teams.

It is looking like Okunbor will return after some minor visa issues. We will still be without Scurr and Taufua and I believe Doro has been banned for 2 games which will see him miss the next 2 games.

I'm not going to say this is a must win game, but, win this and we are in a seriously good position with a 5 point gap between us and 5th.

Widnes form has been a bit up and down but they are a good side who ran wakefield close and have won their last two.

Tough game this one - this is the sort of match that makes or breaks a season.

Despite the injuries and suspensions we're still looking like being able to name a half decent 17

Holmes
Lehmann
Myers
Gill
Tindall
Ott
Lilley
Bayliss
Souter
Makin
Davies
Fulton
Hallas

Peposhi
Appo
Okoro
Pele

If we win this one, we've one foot on securing a top 4 finish minimum. We'll be 4 points clear of Widnes, with a better points difference and they still have Wakey & Toulouse to come. Can't see them over turning it unless our form drops off a cliff.

Coleman certainly going to have them fired up judging by his interview.

We really do own them one from earlier on the year though.

I didn’t realise doro had been banned when did that happen?

Bulls name 21 man squad. Prop forward Zach Fishwick has joined the club on a two-week loan deal from Hull Kingston Rovers.

Gaskell, Butler, Arundel, Lawrence, Smith, Jowitt, and Baldwinson are all missing through injury.

Okunbor is awaiting VISA clearance, while Taufua (2 games), Scurr (1 game) and Doro (2 games) are all banned for the game.

Another 20man squad. A lot of teams are doing it tough at the moment. This is a big one and I’d love it if we could come away with the points but I’ve got a feeling this will be one game too far for us.

I think we'll win this.

There's the kiss of death for you.

I think if we want to be in that Championship Final we probably need to avoid another trip to Toulouse. To have any chance of 2nd spot we need to find a way to win tricky away games such as this.

It's been a bizarre weekend of shock results so far in Super League. Is this going to happen in the Championship as well? If so, I'm saying Bradford by 40!

Fish Zachwick anybody know much about this lad?

Sounded like last few weeks finally caught up with us.
Think the amount short term loans causing more harm than good again. Time to stop them and play some of the reserves. Think we could have been playing until next week and not scored.
Homes has been poor at full back last few weeks and coming up with too many errors. I'd put him in halves. Id start Ott at Hooker and bring Souter off bench who's in danger of being run into the ground.
Very disappointing to have been done 3 times by Widnes, Gilmore dominating us each time

Sounds like a lethargic display over at Widnes - after a tough run of fixtures and little rotation of players its not entirely surprising. Sounds like Gilmore ran the show for them again - he seems to relish facing us.

If Halifax find a bit of form and get themselves safe, I wonder if they'd accept an offer for Keyes? They aren't going to be in the play offs and we badly need another halfback.

I think that result pretty much rules out a chance of 2nd place.
