Think it will be a hard day with the forwards and gaz moore out. Thought RM would have gone with jonno at 7 but he has chosen connor for a game of this importance going back to what i said the other day RM does not really like jonno im going for fax 10 widnes 42 think they will be too strong for us hope im wrong. Ben heaton in the 2nd row? Who knows whats going through Marshalls head

Sorry have I missed something ( not unusual ) but Gareth or Gaz Moore looks to be in the 19, and where is it that Heaton is in 2nd row, though he may be?

harry has obviously heard the team.

Moore has a shoulder problem and couldnt be risked with Batley next week. As has been said no idea what RM is thinking with Johnston, Robinson does not look good enough for this level but RM seems determined to not give Johnston a run at 7. Its no coincidence that we really did not have a problem on the right edge last season and now Heaton is not there we do. Too much tinkering for my liking.

Yes, we need Heaton back in for a few games, starting today. Robinson is down the pecking order for me, Johnno should be given a chance at 7 not in one week, fullback the next, sat on his bum the week after, can't help him at all.
Will be interesting to see how the front row goes this week as well, 2 out and Bracek on loan, so opportunities there for players to make their mark.

Yeah Im worried you take Calahane and Ambler out of our pack and i can see it been a bit of a struggle. A day for others to step up.

Fax 14v34 Wignes. Note to RM. Stop chopping and changing the team. We're half way through the season.

Re: Widnes prediction thread : Sun May 08, 2016 10:50 am  

I think Heaton in the second row is a good shout, he looks more than capable. I am still convinced he isn't a centre due to an inability to pass, so why not give it a go! That way at least we will presumably have Tangata at prop to add some size in the middle. Jonno should be at 7. If Connor is playing, he needs to really step up to the plate today. He was found wanting against the SL sides in last years middle eights, so time to prove he can mix it.

We are due a performance and think we may thrive having no real pressure on today's game. Optimistically, Fax by 6.

Well get beat but it's important we get through this without any injuries. The Batley and Fev games are more important and need to be wins

Absolutely Freddie. No injuries and all off to Batley next week. Big game.

Should have won this if a little more composed. Same players coming up with the same mistakes, week in. Week out. Heaton not passing when tries on, Smeaton jumping out of the line, and calamity Sharp with his Worrincyesque handling. Impressed with Miles Greenwood today though.

Widnes were very poor today and there for the taking.
