Really tough game this one, we scraped through by 2 points last year and they have a good backline. I would go with the below to combat them and possibly sacrifice Thompson against a big experienced backline of opponents.


1. Scott Yates
2. Paddy Flynn
3. Richard Varkulis
4. Shayne Grady
5. Matt Gardner
6. Anthony Thackeray
7. James Webster
8. Gareth Haggerty
9. Mark Smith
10. Jim Gannon
11. Lee Doran
12. Liam Farrell
13. Dave Allen

14. Ben Kavanagh
15. Thomas Coyle
16. Chris Gerrard/Steve Pickersgill
17. Ben Davies


Missing

James Ford
Toa Kohe Love
Chris Dean
Dean Gaskell
Steve Pickersgill (unsure of his neck injury so might be back)

Widnes will get mullered.

Sheffield by 20. (30 if Kohe Love plays).

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaagles, Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaagles

Think Widnes could come unstuck away from home.

Always a real tough egg Sheffield but we tend to come through!

I think in past years there big lads up front have battered us but this year are pack have been exceptional so honestly think we'll get the win! I'd agree with Varks as they have big lads at , though Thompson would learn a lot and really be tested if got the nod! Gardner should help out with the big lads from playing wing as well.

Shame can't go but been a few times and desperately need save some penny!

Ill be there roaring the boys on, hope we can do the business.

Do you really roar? Like a lion? You must get some funny looks in the North Stand

You should try it, the opposition sh[ii[/it themselves.

It's not the same when i do it

My team except i would have houghton in the team rather than gerrard or ben davies.I like Thompson but i feel varkulis has more experience for these two important games.Sheff then fax on thursday will show where we are at as a team.

Think their outside backs are more impressive: Barnett, Yere, Ropati, Thackeray and Woodcock. I think at least 2 of them players would get in every side, I would take all at Fax apart from Thackeray and maybe wouldnt want Woodcock

Pretty much as was predicted.

Scott Yates
Paddy Flynn
Richard Varkulis

The team i predicted.I like cullens choice.When is TKL and Pickersgill back playing?

You must be paul cullen

Please elucidate us all on how you extrapolised that factimation?

My disguise blown away.

Aye - i screwed up big time with that one.

You are no longer the entertainers of the championship, we are playing some champaign rugby thus far and if you want to try the rough stuff bring it on!

Wow. I thought the season lasted for more than 2 matches.

Well done Widnes - you win.

Hey ya big tart, we havent had flowing Rugby for years, McChoke used to have us 5 drives and a kick for 3 seasons!

King Cull

You two faced git!! You used to defend SM's tactics to the hilt!!

Ahem, you have Mick Nanyn who you all used to slate and say was absolute crap and you would never watch Leigh if he played for you etc etc etc....................

He is crap and Milward will ditch him at the end of the season, but I never said I would stop watching Leigh. PS you missed the "He's fat" bit.

Yep were getting Toa primed and ready so he can take the p[ii[/iss out of the fat git.

Toa ?

He'll get injured getting on or off the team bus.

Ask him has that split hair mended yet.

On another subject good result for you today.I might even go on Thursday.But only cos I haven't got Sky and the pubs in Salford do not show RL games................well not in the posh part of Salford.
