Pryce seeing a specialist so likely joining Fonua, Pritchard and Abdull on the sidelines.

Carlos to 6, then, but leaves us exposed in the centres. I'd maybe go:

Shaul
Michaels
Logan
Talanoa
Naughton
Tuimavave
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Green
Ellis
Mini
Manu (if fit, he took a knock also)

Watts
Bowden
Washbrook
Thompson

I think Pryce would have been dropped in any case.
Pritchard also having a scan on his shoulder on Tuesday so doesnt look good for quick return
I hope Abdul is fit.Its a bruised foot apparently.That way we dont have to switch around the backline.
If Not available and Tuimavave is moved to 6 then your team not far out but for me the starting props for this match should be Bowden and Taylor.
That sends a message to Watts without dropping him

Yeah, thought Green starting as Bowden offers a bit more impact off the bench for me, Watts on bench also. Thought Washbrook did well last week, solid job.

Shaul
Naughton
Talanoa
Logan
Micheals
Carlos
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Bowden
Mini
Manu
Washy

Ellis
Green
Thompson
Watts

The only option I would consider is Reece Dean at 6

I would out Dean to 6

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea.

Il throw this in the ring,Carlos to stand off is obvious but why shift Talanoa to centre,we will be moving 2 players to accomadate 1...Yeaman to come in,he will tighten up the defence and could be a steady influence on Logan

Agree wouldn't make two changes if we only need to make one. Wouldn't have Yeamo back in the backs he was too slow two years ago he'd get slaughtered on the Widnes pitch

Wheres Whiting when you need him

Does anyone know if the club's selling tickets for this or its just pay on the night? The website's somewhat uninformative.

If his performance for Doncaster and the Under23s is anything to go by then Yeaman is miles away from selection for the first team squad.
Was taken off today at Doncaster.
Have to agree though about moving players around but i think Abdul will be fit to play at 6 at Widnes.
Wouldnt be too worried about Reece Dean if he was selected at 6.He wont play behind a better pack and maybe his pace on the artificial pitch could help.

Wasn't that due to a head injury?

People call Yeaman but defensively he would shore us up out wide. Wouldn't be popular with certain people though.

All awAy tickets are sold from the club shops, at the stadium or in town

He was taken straight off after a high tackle.

Kirk had a good game this afternoon tackled his heart out and scored a good try and then was scalped by a massive head high. He wanted to play on but Doctor suggested he be withdrawn.

Cheers for that. Will nip down to The KC at some point Tomorrow.

Pritchard to be named in 19, might not make it though. If Pryce is ruled out (might need a knee clear out) Abdull will start.

Reading Widnes' forum, their fans are anticipating a really tough game, and suggesting its their hardest match so far this season. Lets hope that's the case.

Interesting one - seen us play well there and seen us get hammered too.

also vast majority expecting to beat us, hmm who does that sound like after the first two weeks

Rumour is Pryce out 2-3 weeks after seeing specialist.

Why didn;t pryce get his knee sorted in the off season if it's been a problem for a while? As for the game, hoping for a win but expecting a loss and fear we could concede quite a few points as widnes move the ball wide well

if it's just been a niggle there isn't much you can "sort out" until something actually goes wrong

Was told the other day that Kirk has just lost his father so maybe that could be a reason for looking dissintersted. It may not be right only what i was told.
