If Brand was up against Hurrell it would be a baptism of fire.
If SP was going to play Brand it would have been last week.
I can't see it being anyone other than Mamo at centre. Last week he didn't play that well be he has previously.
Brand will get his chance I'm sure, but against Leeds isn't the right call imo.

Brand will start against Leeds.

Having Hill back should make a big difference, we looked decidedly lightweight last week.

I'm not sure why Price keeps playing Walker and Davis, play one or the other and put another big lad on the bench. Same with Johnson and Burrell - it's one or t'other

Totally agree

Hope that's the case, I saw him play last season and he was impressive. Not the biggest though.

All our backs will do great behind a dominating pack, size and inexperience won’t be a barrier, we haven’t had this since Hill did a Hill.
Hopefully he will finally learn....and we’ll be very impressive again, and it starts tonight.

that whole side needs to do a job on hurrell,

Re: Squad for Leeds. : Fri Feb 28, 2020 12:54 pm  

need to do what we did to hurrell in his first game against us...hit him soon as he gets the ball...if u allow him to build momentum he'll run through backs easily...get him soon as he gets the ball he gets disinterested and lazy like he was against hull.

If you control the ball you don’t need pay so much attention to any Leeds attacks.
You dominate with attack and force the defence to concede a score or return ball with a kick.
Do that enough times and the result will look after itself.

Hope Brand gets his chance, played really well for us last year in difficult circumstances.

Mamo, Robson and Patton all in our squad (Widnes) to play at Dewsbury on Sunday.

Widnes are doing very well this season. How much, if any, is the Wire tie up helping out there?
