Yeah Cahill back, but Marsh and White added to the injuries too. No Brown,Bridge,Runciman,Marsh and White. I see Jordan Turner added to your squad.

Brown is one of the best players in SL. I'm not suggesting you're a 1 man team because the cogs are very good, but Brown makes them turn. I think Saints will pick up the 2 points.

If that is the case we should see a few of you at the game on Monday.

Both sides are down a few players TM so it will be a close game,it could go either way

One thing is for certain it will be a forwards game down the middle

We are pretty good at that for about 20 mins then the players switch off and have a break from doing any effort.

I'd like to see us "rest" Luke Walsh and give someone else a go, don't care who it is I just prefer to see a player who puts an 80 minute shift in and is prepared to put his shoulder into a tackle.

Rugby at any level is a tough game but it's a team game and when you pull on a shirt you make a commitment to your team mates, any player who isn't prepared to give 100% shouldn't be on the field whether he is a "star" or not.

I would rest burns for good, and put theo in at 6 for the rest of the season.


focus on building for next year and 2018 rather than the mess that was last season and this.

Can't understand why he (Fages) has missed so many games so far, biggest worry is that certain players look as though they are being de coached in favour of the "arm wrestle" belief to win games.

Looking at this objectively in respect of the squad for Widnes, and in fact this coming Friday against Hull, then you need to stick with the core of those that have trained in the pivots last week. There's not much of an opportunity to change a lot due to lack of training sessions. So persevere this week then change what's needed when we are back to a normal schedule.
