By all accounts. Cooper out with hand injury. Westwood comes in to start. Crosby on bench. So assuming Philbin may come in too.

Would be useful to have Livett on the bench again. Hasn't put a foot wrong and against Cas would provide cover for the three quarters and a bit of pace.

Missing Cooper, especially on top of Hill, will be a huge miss.

Totally agree that Wire v Cas is the stand out fixture for this weekend.

If the game had been televised, it would have meant that Warrington would have appeared on Sky TV, for 6 out of their first 7 games.

I think this maybe the reason why Sky have not covered tomorrow`s home game at the HJ.

You've got your wish.. Wigan v Widnes is postponed

Wigan fan saying there pitch is fine. Doing what they do best and cheating themselves an extra few days rest. Our game on sky now but always should have been.

Sweet. Win win for Warrington because we are taking a real strong following which would have been diluted somewhat if on sky from the get go. This game deserves to be in front of the cameras so should be a corker. Working till 10pm so my dog and bone will be switched off at 8 and I'll watch when I get in

Well that's a bit of a turn up !
Means I won't go, and I'll save my petrol money etc for the next match not on tv.
M1 and M6 are also a nightmare on Fridays.

I don't like us playing cas on telly, never seems to end well.

Plus I still have the odd nightmare about 08

How about Newcastle last year. We were 14-0 up & on easy street. They the scored 34 points without us getting a look in.

Would be a bit short sighted I think. Due to the Dubai training camp that never happened we already in effect have two Easter periods this year, unless both Wigan and Widnes get knocked out of the challenge cup early doors, they have just created themselves a third.

looking forward to this one that for sure, if Warrington can back up they will win with 8-12 pointa

Announced on BBC north west news a few minutes ago. Wigan game now being played tonight at Widnes. RFL upset that Wigan changed the fixture without RFL permission.

My understanding is that the Wigan RL landlords told them that they weren't playing on the pitch before Wigan Athletic, when your not masters of your own destiny "happens"!

If that was purely the case I think Wigan would have released a statement along the lines of "we don't like it, we kicked up a fuss but nothing we could do"... however it looks more like a case of "oh great, we have a ready-made excuse".

Feel really sorry for Widnes in this case. Why can't this be classed as Wigan's home game?
