Must be a bad "illness". We missed him last week so I hope it's nothing long term.

Ok, I’ll ask. Who is Dom Waites?

Souter and Lilley will need to be on top form tomorrow - otherwise I'm fearing an upset.

We look really light for Swinton so will desperately need some bodies back by then - Gaskell back would be a big plus.

He was one of 5 players promoted to the first team squad from the academy at start of the season. Not seen much of him though. Will play reserves alot this year, I think he's a centre/backrower.

EOC says its just illness with Gaskell. Probably being overly cautious keeping him out. The seasons 3 weeks away so no point risking him. Fax look to have just sustained 3 serious injuries to 3 key players in their game. We can't afford that to happen to us.

In 5 mins Lilley has shown he’s not capable of being the leading half

Just need to remain patient. It's not a classic, but we cannot afford to get frustrated and lose the plot. Keep doing what we're doing (which is dominating field position) and eventually widnes should crack.
