| Make no mistake, this is gonna be tough.
We need to pack Craven Park to the rafters to try to cheer them home.

| Hanbury And Craven are expected to miss out - good for us.
Still going to be tough. But I don't think there any better than us man for man. Christ, if you've Greg Burke in your squad, then you are scapeing the barrel.
Home advantage and the chance to go straight back up should bring us home.

| Just hoping for a game where we are not talking about referees mistakes, just the players performance? It will be the last game I will be able to get to this season so also hope the lads can do the job & put me in holiday mode 48 hours early COYR.

| If Hanbury misses out that's a positive for us as he has been very good,but I expect him to play.Would be nice to get job done at first attempt live on sky. Wonder if we will get a aeroplane message again?

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result: |
|
| If you go on the Widnes forum they think we're crap and are expecting a easy victory for a team that finished bottom they sure think highly of themselves

| Yes they are a confident bunch after 3 wins on the bounce against poor opposition. They do seem to have forgotten they finished bottom, when rovers come up against them, we'll up the pace when we have to as the team have throughout the season. Sheens has built a dogged side who know when they need to ramp up the pressure. If Widnes beat us when we do that, then fair game, but I can only see it going one way when we ramp up our performance against them.

| In all fairness I was more worried about Leigh away than Hull KR. That said I know Saturday will not be easy one bit. We out enthused Leigh in every department and I think regardless of home advantage if we come with the same attitude I can only see a Widnes win.
We've had a poor season but found some form the last couple of games. You's have lost against championship opposition on a number of occasions this year and although 4/4 so far is a credit to your club, you certainly haven't been blowing teams away with your winning margins being 12,5,4 and 4. Hanbury will be a big miss but nothing Thompson wont slot into. Its our pack that will win us this game if we do which seems pretty full strength.
Should be a good game for neutrals to watch and with us playing London the week after, the winner of this is all but guaranteed qualification.

| Sorry. But I'd have our pack any day of the week. Not impressed with your pack in any way. I hope Greg Burke is playing!
Your backs have been strong, these last few games. But with your best player out, your going to find it very tough at our place. You out enthused Leigh, but you won't us.

I wouldn't stick my neck out and say who'll win this, I just get the feeling it may be a bad tempered game on the pitch and too close to call.
This league still has a few surprises. Leigh may turn over Warrington after London scared them, and London might well turn Widnes over yet.
FWIW I was shocked to see any Widnes fans posting on here. Don't you have a private forum somewhere these days?

Our backs have been strong? they've only come into their own against lower opposition lately. The last 4/5 games of the season I think we scored around 6 tries in total. Outside of Lunt and Clarkson, I don't really rate any of your pack too much. You's will be somewhat up for this game but it's definitely not a fixture that worries me. If we can do what we did to Leigh and play with the same intensity, Saturday shouldn't be an issue. Couldn't care less if we game was at our place, your place or played in the Middle East, without being anything near spectacular this year, our quality will shine through.

| If you really believe all that in what you've just posted, then your in for a rude awakening.
I'd actually say you're a troll or an FC fan if you really think Clarkson is the only forward you rate from our team. Laughable really.

| Definitely not an FC fan or troll. You lot seem awfully defensive. think you know this is your biggest test yet. Not after a bite and I've already said in my first post Saturday will not be easy by any standards. The stats and figures don't really shine all that bright for either team, reality is we've played one more super league team than you's have and couldn't get the result.
I think after watching Leigh fall to pieces on Sunday, you's will probably be a tougher test now. May the best team win but yeah I think our pack the last couple of weeks have been brilliant. There aren't any big prop names who'll break the line every time like Fafita but our work rate lately has been nothing short of outstanding. As you would say about your lads.

| Keep a lid on White and match them in forwards and that will go a long way to getting 2 pts.Think they only had 2 away wins in regular season? Leigh apparently turned up with stinking attitude and Widnes got the win, fair enough but we more than match them and I suspect/hope Masoe and Carney really turn up for this one .Just got feeling Mr Carney is due a monster game for us
