Widnes had three players sin-binned in their friendly tonight against Wire. I suspect the refs may be using these friendlies to hammer home whatever rules they've been told to focus on this season.

So, looking at the team list, possible starting line up
1. Jake Mullaney 2. Chris Ulugia 3. Adrian Purtell 4. Jean-Philippe Baile 5. Etu Uaisele 6. Lee Gaskell 7. Harry Siejka 8. Adam Sidlow 9. Adam O’Brien 10. Paul Clough 11. Tom Olbison 12. Jay Pitts 13. Chev Walker
Subs Danny Addy, Nathan Conroy, Karl Davies, Vila Halafihi, Alex Mellor, Ryan Shaw, Samir Tahraoui, Lucas Walshaw, Adam Brook
The trouble is the back line, we seem to have a lot of guys who have centre as their preferred role but only 2 who pick the wing.
But I suppose that's what's good about having these friendlies, Jimmy can swap around and see what works and what doesn't in an actual game.
Really exciting trying to work out my starting 13 from that squad, and that's still with the likes of Blythe, Fleming, Ferguson, Petersen, Lauaki, Williams and Henry to come in!

Can't argue with that tactic. The sooner players come to terms with the new interpretations the better.

What are the new interpretations that could possibly lead to sin bins? I seem to recall some new interpretation regarding fighting. Given it was Wire vs Widnes last night there was probably some agro.
A Hunslet supporting pal of mine says that in the Championship we can expect a lot more “physicality” than in SL and officials seem to either miss more or let it slide. It’ll be interesting to see how we react to that side of the game given that many of our players haven’t played in the championship.

Well one of them was sin-binned for a ball steal, so I don't think it was fighting or any new rules that have come in this year. I think it might just be areas they are trying to 'clamp down' on, or it could just be James Child being a total c0ck as usual.
