Sorry but for me the bench needs to be 2 forwards, interchange hooker/3rd forward and a back.

As I said elsewhere does show we have a little more depth to the squad than others are saying.

Would still like to see Chase back though.

Kevin Brown and John Clarke back for Widnes

Good player Kevin Brown, Jon Clarke not so sure about these days! Overall I reckon with the way Widnes are at home i would definitely say they were the favourites too win this one!

With all respect to Salford, if we can get Huddersfield I'd like to think we can beat Salford. We have key players coming back and with home advantage. Yous need time to Gel but will have the makings of a really strong team.

Hock and Chase are massive blows for you. We all know what Hock is capable of, lives on the edge but a real attacking threat, along with Chase.

How good is this Sau ? One thing I've noticed is Salford seen a little short on pace at the moment but I could be totally wrong.

You're totally right. Johnson looks fast but that's it in the threequarters.

Not seen much of Sa'u but heard good things about him although he's not really had a pre-season and missed the last 2 games. I think were probably short of a quality hooker although Lee is much quicker then Howarth around the ruck area. But still too early too judge the team on a whole!

Re: 19 Man Squad For Widnes. : Tue Mar 04, 2014 3:41 pm  

Yes but not to replace Lee. The reason we beat Wakefield was how we coped with the injuries. Lee played well as a half back and Hock was immense ending up at left centre. If we play with the determination demonstrated by these two we will be OK this season. Let us not judge on a few matches.

Re: 19 Man Squad For Widnes. : Tue Mar 04, 2014 7:22 pm  

With Brown back I can't see us winning this one.
