A strong squad on paper announced - the problem being that we have no way of knowing just how many are actually fit to play. As the squad is now so low on numbers the weekly squad announcement is now largely meaningless as Grix just has to put down everyone we've got signed up. On a more positive note, pleased to at last see Jones in the squad and really hope he gets a spot on the bench.
Spot on it is guess work these days with squads who is actually fit to play. If the players in the squad are all fit this is the side i would pick. woody salty rawsthorne worthington mcomb harris grix murray moore calcott garside barber fairbank
Not enough players to name a full squad is a worry. Tibbs, Jones, and Davies probably there as tokens if Rawsthorne, Garside and Morris are fit.

Looking at Widnes forum reassuringly they are saying almost word for word the same thing about the make up of their squad which is being padded out with players unfit to play

I love the bit where they say they are in line for a drubbing. Yes we are on a fantastic winning run but our form the last few weeks has been sketchy to say the least but winning becomes a habit.
Also sounds like their fans want to plan for League 1 talking about signing Sam Brooks and Gavin Bennion.

Jones?
Hear All, See All, Say Nowt. Eat All, Sup All, Pay Nowt. And if Tha ever does Owt for Nowt, Allus do it for Thissen.
JONES Hope the lad makes it back after an injury like that . All I would say is whether your knee hurts or not just strap it up before a game and you will keep playing well into your 30s . It's just like fingers you always strap the ones that have previously broken . The longer you play the more gets strapped up , fact of life .
Saw a picture of the squad after training at Siddal - everyone there apart from Jones which makes me think his name in the squad is just to make up the numbers. I'll be delighted to be proved wrong.

Yeah probably just naming all available players. Jones probably needs a lot of game time in a lower league and see if he can develop his game. He is a long way off championship level.
