Given that whenever Sam has been out we have lost (to Widnes, Bradford, Leeds and now Hudds), put your money on the Broncos !

P.S. How do I change my username ?

Didn't we beat Huddersfield away a couple of years back when he and Joel were suspended?

Tomkins seems to think he'll be back on twitter but we'll see. There's certainly no rush to bring him back in these early stages of basically a meaningless 27 game league campaign.

I think Hughes may miss out as I couldn't see any other reason for him ending up on the wing with Goulding centre then him being injured. I also noticed Charnley grab for his hamstring with about five mins left yesterday but he did play on.

Like I say don't risk anybody that's not 100% fit but we can see already we don't have enough depth to the squad.

Leave your name as it is and start supporting Widnes.

The team for me would be as follows assuming sam still injured:

Josh
Goulding
Hughes
Thornley
Pat
Green
Smith
Mossop
Micky Mac
Dudson / Taylor
Faz
Burke
Lockers

Lauaki
Flower / Taylor
Tuson
Powell

London have been nilled at home to Wakefield.

I think we could field a few young lads and still win comfortably.

With the weekly rounds not all that important, surely now's the time to start coming up with a decent game plan for if Sam isn't around?

As Leeds have shown, using the weekly rounds to get both the tactics and the players in the right shape for the play-offs is what matters.

It is not meaningless if you don`t make the 8 you don`t play off.

Like Widnes away last season you mean?

Wane will want to win this one or it will be Played 4 Won 1 Lost 2 Drawn 1 Points 3

I think Manfredi may play on the wing. He was down to play against South Wales yesterday but was withdrawn. It's just a shame Joe Burgess has been out for a few weeks it would have been a good game for him to play in.

We did.

Quite a few out that night, Lockers played at Stand Off IIRC.
