Widnes Vikings (H) : Mon Jun 21, 2021 10:42 am  

How we seeing this one? Has the pitch size been sorted yet?

Think we should be winning this. Sure we'll get a response after the Fev hammering, plus we've had a week off so there should be no excuses.

Widnes were really poor early on in the season but look much improved recently. Beat Sheffield at the weekend and should have beaten London the week before. If we play poorly we'll lose, if we play well we' ll win.

Obviously not sure what we'll line-up like with a new HB possibly coming in this week as well as possible doubts with Scurr & Evans.

If no HB comes in, I really hope Kear stops using Pickersgill or Brown there.

John Kear joined me on the radio at York vs Batley game yesterday to provide an update on Danny Brough, who underwent a successful operation on Friday, the club's search for a replacement and the impact of the England vs All-Stars game on the Championship loan market.

Not sure I agree with BM about the week off being beneficial. When you fall off the horse the best cure is often to get straight back on again. I'm not a fan of siting around and moping about the week before. A game two days later would have been preferable, rather than a fortnight to stew over the defeat.

Still, it is what it is and it's getting a bit late to bring in a new half, to be honest so let's hope JK has a different plan to work on - different from the Featherstone plan, that is - I hope that particular plan is shelved permanently.

No Doyle, Robson recalled.
Murphy and Fleming both back.
Ben Evans should be fit.
No update on Scurr.

Anyone heard anything regarding Matty Dawson. Seems to have gone all quiet regarding updates on his injury.

When he was coming back from his broken arm Kear said he injured his knee. Not heard anything since other than a small sentence in a T&A article a couple of weeks a go that he was a long term injury.

Also just seen some highlights of the women's RL at Odsal. Looks like the pitch is the same size still...

The most recent Bulls game wasn't at Odsal, it was played at Belle Vue.

Huddersfield played Featherstone at Odsal last night, it was on twitch.
