It'll be nice to see Currie if he gets a gig, by all accounts he ripped Saints apart on Saturday.

I've only seen him a handful of times and I think every time I think he's been playing a different position but he's looked a class act. Exciting stuff.

The young ones will have a chance to shine,what better way to do it.In front of home crowd and against a weak super leauge team.

There should be more than enough in that squad, whoever's picked, to wipe the floor with Widnes.

That doesn't mean we will, but we ought to. I don't think Widnes are too confident after the pasting they got on Thursday, there's not been a peep from their fans on here.

There won't be. You need Internet connection to use this forum silly

He's hardly played this season and will probably have a week off for the cup anyway.

I agree with Rob Wire that Chris Hill has earned a starting place with his recent performances (don't think that O'Brien's experience of playing on the iPitch will turn out to be crucial though

).

I could have put it down as a fishing trip but nar it wasn't, without looking at the fixtures closely i just presumed with Widnes being away in the last game and us at home that it would have been at Widnes.

Back to Chris Hill, i think its a great oppertunity for Tony Smith to reward high class, consistent performances. He's more than earnt his chance to start in the front row especially with Moz not playing, we need to start this game better than quite a few of our previous games so our current best front rower should start against Widnes, it will be a great reward for all of his performances this year.

Neither Paul Wood or Garreth Carvell deserve to start but realistically one should start along side Chris Hill, i'd go with Cravell and Hill because Paul Wood has been well off his game for quite a while now.

Just a slight note of caution with Chris Hill, he started against Wakefield and I thought it was his least effective game for us to date, some props are just better from the bench (Wood for one).

Hopefully he'll do better the next time he gets the chance. Cooper was the same at Wigan, been great off the bench, starts at Wigan and got bullied.

Protecting the OAPs for the big game on monday?

What position does this Currie play? He's the one people say will be a future England captain I take it?

to be honest this game should be over in 30 mins widnes are the poorest team ive seen in super league how they beat wigan i will never know even with the players out that they rested

That's what Wigan thought as well!
