Interesting game this one they have picked up in form of late. Since the performance in the semi in the 1895 cup against fev even thou they lost it does seem to have given them a lift. And they have some ex fax players in there ranks in tyrer and grady who should both get a good reception on there return. I will go for a fax win 28-12.

I'd be very happy with that scoreline. Tyler and Grady were both top lads for Fax and will need watching for sure. Is Craven out injured? Hopefully home advantage will swing this one for us. Fax 26 v 16 Widnes.

We should have too much for them and are in pretty good form. We are going to score points against them and they will do well to a get a few themselves.

Amir Bourouh has got a one match ban for his late shoulder hit at Batley. Not sure if he will miss Widnes or the match after.

Game has gone mad. By banning him they are saying that should have been a sending off which it never is in a million years.

Correct. The 10 minutes was sufficient.

Should be the Match after

Fax to win

He won’t be available for the Whitehaven game. We will need him more against Widnes than Whitehaven so I suppose in that sense it has worked out OK for us. However the 1 match ban is just not necessary.

20 man squad out and it is good to see barber and rawsthorne return i would think that nick will replace mcgrath who will miss out due to the head knock against batley last week but will barber get back in mcomb as done a good job while he as been out maybe he will replace larroyer who is missing this week he could go in the second row with kavanagh moving in the middle personally i would play him in the or leave him out barber that is

If fully fit Ed Barber would be in my team every time. He will probably start off the bench though I would have thought.

If he's fit I'd replace Larroyer with Fairbank and slot Barber back in at centre, even though Mccomb has done a good job there. I think his size and handling skills make him a top notch centre at this level against being a decent second row.
