I exaggerated to make a point. They rested key players so I don't expect the effects of their trip to France and back to be as significant as some seem to be banking on.

Even if their trip to France has zero effect, we should still be beating them at home.

Not too sure mate. They had plenty of experience there today and most of the team will back up against us.

Not sure what we do for this one.

Not sure there's anyone else available in the forwards? Maybe draft Turgut in if fit?

My comment was tongue in cheek but I'd be pretty gutted if we lose on Friday .

I'm well beyond the point of assuming that we should be beating anyone anywhere. And we lost the corresponding fixture last year. With fewer players missing IIRC.

There isn't a side in SL this year that you can take lightly and get cheap points from. Having said that Widnes, even at full strength, at home are not likely to be one of the tougher challenges this season. Its an absolute must win game.

Think I heard on radio he was out for a few weeks, knee I think.

What a dirge of a night that was. Raining, 0-7. Shocker.

Bloody terrible night.

Hopefully he'll be banned for Friday along with White.



There are no easy games any more and there have been some unpredictable results this season but this is an absolute must win game IMO.

Widnes try early on from a Rankin knock on, IIRC. Terrible game.
