So with Leeds out of the way and confidence running high in the squad can we keep our feet on the ground and play to our best against Widnes or will we drop off like we did against Salford?
Surely we have learned our lesson with turning up with the wrong attitude.

Widnes is one of those games that could and has caught us out - coming off the back of a big game like this there is bound to be a drop in intensity levels, hopefully not enough to be caught out. Also, i dont think Baloo is the kind of coach to let the players get complacent.
On paper and form we should be winning this one comfortably - unfortunately games arent played on paper, or in Widnes' case even grass !!.
Hopefully a few will decide to go over on Friday and give the boys the backing they deserve this year. I'll be there as long as my finances allow..

Widnes are going well at home and also had an easy game yesterday when they appeared to be resting a few players as well.

Widnes seem to be a different team at home, going to be a tough game to win.

mullally to return surely

wardle to miss out and dawson to come in

may see a couple of other changes too after the battle we just had!

Plastic pitch is a leveller, Widnes favourites in my book

Don,t see a problem here.
Giants are a bigger team, a stronger team, a faster team, a more experianced team, with better players
l don,t care if they are playing on plastic or marshmellows, they have to pass a ball when they have it, and tackle when they don,t.
The lads do not want to be sleepwalking into another Salford fiasco, Should be put to bed in the first 30,
We have points to make up on Wigan AND Leeds (2 games in hand)

Giants by 20

widnes 2/1 for the win with the bookies, ill take that.

no cudjoe and no wardle for this one...

can cover wardle with murphy and put dawson on the wing. what about the other centre spot?

Probably no Hock too.

Cording can play centre.

Lawrence for me.



Save some money for Sunday.........there will be a stonking bet in the Northern Rail Cup

Lawrence is injured

Fair enough.....how long is he out for?????

Torn calf muscle - guessing 4-6?

well we have had 3 big games in a row before this so energy levels are gonna be low in certain players but if you want to be a top side you need to go to a place like this and win

Unfortunately not I'm afraid. Only Kevin Brown (dead leg) is due to return to the side that played Workington with as mentioned Hock likely to be out. Bit of consistency in the side is good but we are just about getting 17 out even if it is pretty strong in some areaas.



How is the big lad going? Haven't seem him much for you tbh.

We are a different side at home no doubt and last year was a cracking win for us so no doubt another one we have targeted as another potential shock win having already done Hull and Wire at home with Saints away last week added to that.
