Suspect Cox and Forsyth will be the ones to miss out, unless they rest Ridyard and play McNally at 6.

Thompson dropped after two poor games, and good to see Laithwaite back

Forsyth will be on one of wings

Or rested? Both Adamsons missing, but presumably they are rested too. Thought Spencer might have got a run out.

Spenners is still carrying a knock isn’t he? As are the Adamsons. Our forwards are doing it tough at the moment. Having said that so are the backs!!

Very true.

I don't think Riddy was fit to play last week, yet he's in there again! Unless they are planning a shuFfle to give him a rest?

Can’t afford to rest Riddy because no one else is cable of running the game! Gregg could do it but would be missed at fullback !
Thompson is presumably dropped he has been poor in the last two games and knocks on persistently!
Hope Patto is fit we badly missed him last week .
I want to see Brierley look to use his pace more he should be looking to kick and chase when opposing fullbacks are up with play and, out of position like Jack Owens was last week, it was criminal that he or the coaching staff didn’t spot that opportunity, we could have have ruined the Widnes game plan had we tried it!
If Ryan’s not using his pace then he’s a luxury because he is not a playmaking halfback ! Come on Ryan spot these opportunities and back yourself !

Spot on Kirky. We were screaming in the north stand for a kick and chase. Duffy needs to see these opportunities, and get the message out.Overall we never really created any kind of move,which baffles me.What are we learning in training?

The Coaching staff need to be more flexible during the game and Ryan’s pace was a glaring solution to the solid Widnes defence!
We still had opportunities to win the game and the ‘Wembley’ pass that Riddy gave to Thornley could have led to ‘Hi Hi Silver Lining ‘ and a trip to Brent!
I’ll still be at Wembley however as I’m married to Widnesian ! Have sympathy for me because we’re sat with the Vikings supporters !

I don’t know much but I do know we need a fit and as fresh as possible Riddy if we are going have a good go at the playoffs. I hope we can find a way to rest him, even if it means losing a game or so in the run in.
