Some games though he just doesnt scoot at all, when Smith plays well Widnes nearly always win when he doesnt we are poor. To much responsibility is placed on his shoulders and i think he needs to be rotated with Thackeray and lets get Duffy back to six.

I dont think Dodd was that bad, some of his defence was very impressive and given a choice out of him and Varkulis at the moment Dodd wins hands down.

I don't think Dodd was that bad either, but he's not as effective at centre as he is wing or full back. He always puts the shift in Dodd, but at centre we need more than that. I'd rather play Grady there, I don't think he's done alot wrong so far when he's played.

Fair do, he just doesnt quite do it for me does Grady, IMO he needs another year to work on his physique and confidence. He's improved this year over last by a mile but still needs work.

Paul Cullen has added Steve Bannister and Danny Mills to the 17 who played against Leigh on Good Friday for tomorrow night's trip to Doncaster.



Both came through their comeback game in the Reserves on Friday following injuries picked up in December.



The squad for the game, which kicks off at 8pm, is; Wildbore, Gaskell, Varkulis, Mills, Thackeray, Webster, Smith, Gannon, Doran, Duffy, Dodd, Kavanagh, Ostick, Thompson, Yates, Flynn, Grady, Simm and Bannister.

Good to see Bannister included, sure he'll get a bench spot. Surely Cull's got to give Mills a game after Friday.

I would hope so but he can only really play the one position so who do your drop to give him a run? Paddy or Deano?

Good question, as both have done more than others this year and others deserve to be dropped ahead of them. Could Gaskell play centre? I think Paddy has been superb this year so I'd be inclined to leave him in the team.

From what I've seen of Bret Robinson, he's crap.

He's a decentish player but he needs to be pushed hard.

Amzing what bad coaching can do to a player. Varks was tremendous for us and id have him back in a flash. Unfortunatley he had to move due to circumstances. Only player who left last season who we wanted to keep.



Welcome back VM ya big puff.

Wildbore was crap on friday. Unless he saw an opportunity to score he looked completely uninterested. Within 20m of line he was fine. Rest of the time he stunk.
