Can't see any reason to change things so same 17 for me.

Delaney played for Hunslet at the weekend but see no need to rush him back in. Let him have a few weeks/games there so that his match fitness is quite good by the time we use him.....we've got 3 games then the Easter weekend, bring him back then (injury permitting) so we can rest/rotate over those two games.

Also we've released a silver kit for Magic Weekend and thank god common sense has prevailed and they're going to wear it this week also instead of us having to endure a stupid kit clash.

I look forward to seeing the new challenge cup campaign shirt and then the limited edition play off shirt

I look forward to keeping yet more cash in my skyrocket due to the inept, lazy design team at ISC.

I look forward to keeping my money in my pocket as buying a team strip has never been and never will be compulsory.

Indeed. A few seasons ago though we had a cracking range, now.... not so much.

Yeah it's a pretty 'meh' sort of shirt......but at least it helps us avoid a repeat of the shambolic kit clash episode from the 2010 CC final.

Like how the club say that even though it's for Magic Weekend, the team will give it a run out for this weeks Wire game......

Translation "we've realised we made a huge c*ck-up having 2 similar kits and need to wear this one for this particular match"

Hi all, wire fan coming in peace : )
Looking forward to Friday's game, albeit a little anxious! Been impressed by you lot so far this season, and feel were yet to hit top form.
You know how many your likely to be bringing?

It being Friday and not a Saturday/Sunday will affect numbers.

Gutted I have to miss it but can't get away from work in time. Warrington away is always one of those exciting trips for me where you're a bit nervous due. We need our first full 80 minute performance to sneak this one I feel.

When was the last time we had a league match at Warrington on a Saturday or Sunday?

As someone who goes to plenty away games, I can confirm our following is in greater numbers on a Friday than it has ever been on a Saturday, and in most cases better than Sundays.

that silver shirt is just a rip off of the one the great Richie spedding used to wear. nobody in this team is fit to wear it when compared to him

Not even Scott Donald?

he's the one who comes closest

Leeds get a 4 point start with William hill.....

4 points sounds about fair given Wire are the home team. I'm a bit more confident than i have been in recent years going over there although i do think it will be a tight game.

Will be nice to see us put in a full 80 minute performance this week and hopefully then the result will take care of itself.

There's a blast from the past!!

Home town boy Bentham is the ref.

Trumps the offer of the Rhinos one of 'some' of it going to JP's charity. Unsurprisingly (to some of you) I like it. Might get confused for a Widnes fan if I wear my football top rather than a Rhinos one! www.widnesvikings.co.uk/news/art ... rts-now-on

Delaney and Golding in for Achurch and Sutcliffe in the named 19. Can only imagine Achurch has a knock given that it's him not Walters who's dropping out.

Is there a problem with Zak? I.e. Golding in the 19.

Joel Monaghan missing for Wire is a big bonus for us

From what I've seen of him this season I'm not sure it is.

If Atkins and Bridge are both fit having not played last week, I'd imagine they both come back into the centres in place of Currie and Monaghan. Even given the obvious deficiencies in Atkins' game, that's still an upgrade.

With Ratchford at full-back and Wheeler/O'Brien in the halves, that gives them plenty of weapons.

Depends on which Atkins decides to turn up.

If its the laissez faire, coasting, not getting his hands dirty Atkins then great.

If its the chip on the shoulder, raise the game against Leeds performance then maybe not. He truly is a Jekyll and Hyde player, the ultimate flat track bully.

Agree on Ratchford, he's the key.

Hopefully it's just Atkins in for Monaghan. I don't rate GOB or Wheeler. Bridge looked really good in the halves towards the end of last season. I've also noticed Westwood hasn't done 80 mins in the last two. If he doesn't do that this week, he can't be fit, as they can't prefer Laithwaite. He does nothing. Philbin deserved a crack last week, but I can't see him starting this week.

Yes, he hasn't been great so far but always seems to have a good game against us in attack and defence.
