Missing/Injured Players : Sun Mar 23, 2014 11:21 pm  

Hep Cahill - Back for Bradford
Eamon O'carroll - Back for Bradford
Stefan Marsh- Available for Bradford
Joe Mellor - Out for 12 weeks
Paul Clough - Feck knows, might have been rested today for Hull
Danny Craven - Hamstring 2 weeks
Jack Owens - Possibly back for Bradford but more likely the week after
Dave Allen - Currently injured but not stated what it is
Liam Carberry - still on recovery for a few months.

Adam Lawton - Played for Crusaders today and was MOM at leigh scoring and setting up a couple
Declan Hulme - Another who played for Crusaders and did well

Touches wood but Denis will have some tough choices to make versus Bradford with a few coming back, i don't think we picked up any other notable injuries today. Ben Kavanagh got put on report for a spear tackle so may miss the Bulls game depending on what gets said.

Well it will be difficult to pick the team now even if Kavanagh is out. Clough could replace him and with Gilmore playing so good, it softens the blow losing Mellor.

Just shows how well we've recruited and built up a handy squad. Be great to have Cahill available again, but shows how far we've come when really we haven't missed him too much.

We've not played great recently in spite of our lofty position but the team has a lot to offer and I reckon we will gel better as the season goes on - which will only bode well.

I think in contrast to last season we've been very lucky. Last season we lost a lot of close games we could've won and this season things have gone a lot better for us. We have hit teams at the right time. Salford for example, I think they've been all over the place but with the quality in their squad you have to believe they will come good, but we walloped them anyway. We've got Bradford next week, which we need to win, but you have to believe if they are taken over there will be additions to their squad and an overhaul. So again, lucky to get them now.

I'm not saying we don't deserve to be where we are now, though. Every team needs the right conditions and we were so desperately unlucky last season that it's due.

Oh and for the record there is no "only widnes". love off with that. We're the Mighty Widnes Vikings, and if you want to beat us this season we're going to mostly make it harder for you than you're used to. Especially for jumped up teams with an over inflated sense of importance.

EOC is still two weeks away from playing and Marsh will more than likely be given another weeks rest.

Strange, he said he was back this week, unless that means back in full training?
