On to the CC : Thu Apr 12, 2012 3:28 am
Well the league takes a back burner this week and onto the Challenge cup we go. Reading the reports from Rush on injuries and the citings on the discipline front being extra lenient this week. We will probably have our starting 6 and 7 back for this game. It looks unlikely they will risk Wilkin and they don't know about Ade until the swelling has gone, so with 2 more days left it's unlikely he will play and TP is deamed serious. If things had been going well early doors in the season I would have expected a game like this and the one on Monday gone to be were we mixed up the team a little more. But as we are trying to build some confidence and some wins I expect little change will happen outside of the injuries. With Lomax back I'm guessing kicking will not be enough for Foster to get back on the wing, so here's my expected line up.Wellens, Makinson, Shenton, Jones, Meli, Lance, Lomax, Perry, Roby, La Franki, Sia, Flannery, Flanaghan. Clough, LMS, Megennis, Dixon
With our form being up and down of late hopefully it will be a game to get us back into the swing of things, but with some pressure now being put on Betts, with the inevitable asking for more patience from the fans being done. A good run in the CC maybe what Widnes and more importantly he needs to keep their season alive.
