Quote: Grimmy "I'm feeling very confident about this one. Widnes are artificially top by virtue of playing an extra game and not having played any of the form sides yet (except Salford, who beat them). They're going well but I can't see them having enough to break our home record, particularly as we usually spank them at the DW. Our attack looked pretty threatening on Friday too. I'll go 38-10'"
I thought our defence last week was very aggressive and looked really solid. Thought our attack quite frankly in the first half was pretty awful but improved a bit in the second half.
Just don't see 28 points between the teams.
If Widnes can defend their line well I'd give them a decent chance tonight unless we improve our passing game which has been pedestrian, telegraphed with zero dummy runners.
I would turn your argument around and say that we haven't played anybody yet that can actually attack at pace with perhaps the exception of Salford who could have nicked it near the end.
We have zero pace so will be interesting to see how we try and combat the Widnes attack particularly on a good dry surface. Looking forward to it.
