Widnes fan here...

We're still missing Thompson, Bridge, Ah Van, Mellor, Gilmore, Whitely, Dean, Marsh, Leuluai, Olbison, Armstrong, Ashall and Craven. Six of our 1-13 are out and trouble is they're mostly backs. Our right side will likely be Ince, Chamberlain, Johnstone. Three academy graduates, Ince has been at Hunslet all season and Chamberlaian Workington. Massive step up.

I'd expect Wakefield, a good team, to beat us by about 30. Close to start with and then you pull away from us as the game goes on.

TBF you could say the same about Gibson - horses for courses I suppose.

My view also. Arundel played well against Catalans and Dewsbury apparently so deserves to keep his places.

Definately a strong squad.

Think Batch and Sio to miss out for me.

Hoping that Williams crossing the line for the first time in a competetive game last week can just give him that bit of confidence

A strong squad and if we turn up with the right attitude we should be too strong for Widnes. I liked the Arundel - Caton-Brown partnership at Dewsbury. would go with

Grix
Caton-Brown
Arundel
Lynne
Jones-Bishop
Miller
Finn
Huby
