Widnes (A) : Tue Jul 23, 2024 9:21 am  

Our next game sees us travel across the M62 to Widnes. This will be another huge test against a tough Vikings outfit who have taken the spoils in 4 of the last 5 meetings between the 2 teams.

It is looking like Okunbor will return after some minor visa issues. We will still be without Scurr and Taufua and I believe Doro has been banned for 2 games which will see him miss the next 2 games.

I'm not going to say this is a must win game, but, win this and we are in a seriously good position with a 5 point gap between us and 5th.

Widnes form has been a bit up and down but they are a good side who ran wakefield close and have won their last two.

Tough game this one - this is the sort of match that makes or breaks a season.

If we win this one, we've one foot on securing a top 4 finish minimum. We'll be 4 points clear of Widnes, with a better points difference and they still have Wakey & Toulouse to come. Can't see them over turning it unless our form drops off a cliff.

Coleman certainly going to have them fired up judging by his interview.

We really do own them one from earlier on the year though.

Bulls name 21 man squad. Prop forward Zach Fishwick has joined the club on a two-week loan deal from Hull Kingston Rovers.

Gaskell, Butler, Arundel, Lawrence, Smith, Jowitt, and Baldwinson are all missing through injury.

Okunbor is awaiting VISA clearance, while Taufua (2 games), Scurr (1 game) and Doro (2 games) are all banned for the game.

Another 20man squad. A lot of teams are doing it tough at the moment. This is a big one and I’d love it if we could come away with the points but I’ve got a feeling this will be one game too far for us.

I think we'll win this.

There's the kiss of death for you.
