Widnes v Dons Sun 5/5/24 at 3pm : Wed May 01, 2024 8:26 am  

Widnes's last six league matches:

28th April: Bradford (A) Won 14-13
21st April: Fev (A) Lost 32-24
14th April: Halifax (H) Won 40-14
7th April: Dewsbury (A) Won 24-6
29th March: Swinton (H) Won 28-10
17th March: Barrow (H) Won 44-8

We should find out how much we've improved since we played them in the cup and know a bit more about where we're at with our standing in this league.

What team does RH select with that playing surface at Widnes? They appear to have a lighter unit that is obviously suited to that quick surface of theirs. I just hope we can give them a game, not let our heads drop when we go behind.

Not a game for me DM to judge us given the odds are firmly stacked in Widnes favour. The game on the 19th IMO lets us know a bit more.

I'll take one for the team and guess we get a 10pt start, what's everyone's thought?

It'll be a head-scratcher for the bookies. I reckon they might give us 12 to 16 points start based on what Widnes did to us in the cup.

If our forwards play as well as they did against Dewsbury, we're not out of it. If we let them get quick play-the-balls, then we could be under a lot of pressure. It's a fascinating game.

Looks like we will be missing Foster & Lyne .
Do not know if Boas is injured .
Assume Johnstone will back , could play Hall or Tali in the centres & bring Holdstock back into the pack.

Apologies meant to post it here too

So that's Faraimo and Johnston in for Lyne and Foster

Might be a little off topic but has anyone heard anything about Elliot Hall? Always rated that guy but not seen him near the squad at all. Is he still injured do we know?
