Marsh, Inu, Ah Van, Dudson, Cahill. & White are all starting players . Viking’s squad down to the bones .

I don't think White is injured, looking at there forum.

Widnes played Rovers last week and lost quite easily. Rovers were at home with an extra man and couldn't beat us in a derby, the week before.Rovers were shocking.
Widnes current form is garbage.
A win for FC - NO DOUBT. A loss is unthinkable and that's why it won't happen.

I believe Abdull has been dropped, he popped the last pass for greens try so don’t think he is injured, although I can’t recall seeing him in the named squad for saints but he played . I was on hols though so I could have missed something

says on the wail site abdul is injured

They have won 3 home games and lost 4.
We have won 1 away game all season against lowly HKR.

I stand corrected

We should win this game with the players avaialable and hopefully some to come back next week against leeds

Glad to read Cooke on hdm saying he thought Radford being envious of Saints was something to be concerned about
Why was he envious ?
Surely he coaches the side and we learnt all we need to learn by playing St George but Radford says we need to learn from how Saints played
What are we not learning or is it that we’re not being coached what we need to learn ?
Anyways FC by 10+ v Vikings and the next 2 home games will tell us what we’ve learned

Watts isn't a Hull player, so how the heck can we he be "missing", he'd probably copped a ban in one of the games played "without" him since he was sold anyway..?

the article doesn't say he is injured, just that he is out. All the injured players have the injury listed, Abdull is just listed as being out.
HDM - FC, in comparison, are going to be minus Dean Hadley (knee), Brad Fash (jaw), Jansin Turgut (hip), Mark Minichiello (groin), Sika Manu (calf) and Jordan Abdull this week.

As I have said earlier in the thread, Widnes picked up 4 of their injuries on Saturday evening, leaving them with no interchanges in the last 26 minutes. They aren't as shocking as their scoreline suggests, especially considering KR had their game players back too which showed especially in attack.

Isn't the point that we have a Watts-size chunk of salary cap unused, that at the start of the season we'd planned to have available, and is very difficult to re-fill mid-season?

agree, we are missing a forward, but not specifically Watts as an individual.
