Is this a must win? I know it's only round 3 but with Toulouse and Featherstone after this, a loss here would be 1 win in 5. I don't think we'd recover from that. No Gilmore or Johnstone for Widnes, two of their best players so no excuses from us. Expect Walker to have a stormer!

Some big calls from Dunning of who to play at 1, 6, 7, 9.

I wouldn't say its a 'must win' game but with Toulouse and Fev around the corner we could be looking at 1 win from 5 games and the dark clouds will descend. Time for Dunning to walk the walk.

Fully expecting to see no changes to our side whatsoever, other than those forced through injury.

Need forwards with punch too Appo and Johnson will need to play as well as lawford I’d stick with Holmes he did enough in game one to earn a reprieve for me

Yeah, people are forgetting that Holmes was solid in Week One. He was poor this week but stick with him. Maybe give Flanagan Jr a run in the games after Toulouse and Fev.

Difficult to draw conclusions with only 1 home game and 1 away game played, but wouldn't it be ironic if Dunning basically switched last years form? made us a much more competitive team at Odsal but at the expense of our away form....






Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.

Appo and Johnson must come in.
Matongo possibly signed up and thrown is as well?

Does anyone know when Scurrs ban is up?

Butler to start, why the hell he was on the bench (barring not being fully fit) is beyond me.

Does anyone know where we can pick up 2 wingers before Sunday?

It's hard to fault DFJ. Always gives 100%.As far as Blackmore is concerned I would rather see Jayden Myers on the wing. Against Haven he was put in the clear and after 20 metres he was looking for support rather than going for it. Baldwinson for me is just not up to it. Reminds me of Kirk, big lad but never seems to break a tackle.

Its always the same lines everyone rolls out when ever someone mentions DFJ . 'Cant fault his effort, allways gives 100%'. Both of which are true to be fair but theres just not a lot else is there. Hes just not got the ability, and wouldnt get in any other of the top 5 or 6 sides in the league.

He does always put in 100% and hes a nice bloke too, and can do a good job as 3rd or 4th choice dropping in for a few games here and there. Ifwe want to get where everyone wants to be and challenging for the playoffs we wont get there with him and Blackmore as first choice wingers in my opinion.

Totally agree about Baldwinson. Offers nothing, doesnt run hard, another one who should be no where near 1st choice.

Really disapointed with Foster and Aj as well last night both seemed to go missing.

Thought Rogers stood up well (minus a couple of errors). Butler decent once he finally got on the field, and Roby looked sharp. Think hes going to turn in to a fanstastic pick up and wont be long before he jumps in front of Flanagan in the pecking order.

Really hope MD shows some stones and makes changes for Sunday and doesnt come out with the "lads deserver a chance to redeem them selves" line.
