We have 7 first teamers playing in that game I think

We'll never have a better chance of turning Leeds over really. I hear Brown's out long term again though?

Though I love Hanbury at full-back, I'd be tempted to return him to the halves for this.

What a waste of money a sick note.I rate Tickle but maybe another Sicknote signing which is not good business.On the other hand gives Craven a chance.

I'd hardly class Brown or Tickle as sicknotes, both have had long careers.

Im sure they wouldn't appreciate you calling them sick notes, Browns just been a tad unlucky and this injury at least isn't related to his ankle.

Surely by those standards Craven is also a sick note?

Tickle and Brown have missed a fair bit of rugger innate last 18 months but I've always hated terms like 'injury prone' especially in a contact sport. I mean what is it's actual definition?

OK, let us have this one and we'll let you beat us at home next time!

Hanbury hasn't been selected in the side, good news for widnes disappointing for him personally in some ways especially considering hohaia the bench.

Hanbury is 10 times better than Hohaia. In any position.

I am not complaining though mate as I only care about Widnes.

In theory Hohaia can play hooker. Though any genius who has watched him there are at all wouldn't have him anywhere near that squad.

Disappointed for Rhys but possible point to probe on Monday = Happy Days!

I think Hanbury will be even more intent on ripping it up on Monday now.

Perhaps a bit of Kiwi bias there from Bluey, I wonder? As everyone has said suits Widnes down to the ground. A real shame for Hanbury though as he was back to his pre injury form against Wigan.

Lets hope that he shows his class on Monday!

Looks like we will have Moon, Leuluai,Hardaker, Hall, Sinfield, Burrow,JJB playing Friday.
We will also be without Watkins, McGuire, Ablett and Ward all injured.
Good news is JP and BJB will be playing.

I am concerned about the atmosphere inside the stadium for the game. Will a "weak" Leeds squad result in fewer of their fans travelling across to Widnes on a Monday? Possibly their fans will just stay in Yorkshire and watch the match on telly. Hope not as we need a decent crowd.
