Even with Tomkins and lockers missing its a huge bonus, can't quite believe it myself but I hope it's true

Massive opportunity for Widnes this, and a chance to help the rest of us out by stealing some points off Wigan





Is the game on telly?

Yep on sky mate

Cracking

That will be getting watched after we demolish Cas

With 10 days break to the game after this one we can give it 100%

Ryan Hampshire and Lewis Tierney will make their Wigan debuts on Friday.

They, along with George Williams, played for the England U18s against France two/three weeks ago.

Seems Wigan will be without Tomkins, poss Charnley, Richards, Green, Smith, Prescott, Dudson, McIlorum, Farrell, O'Loughlin & Flower.

Any of you Widnes fans fancy your chances?

If Wigan have that many players of that quality missing on Friday then yes, we have to fancy it a bit. We could do with one or two of our long term injuries back, then 'd fancy it a lot.

I wonder how many of our players would be injured if you didn't have an ipitch?

If they don't want to play on it then fair enough, it just gives us more of a chance of beating you again.

To be fair it's only Widnes players that seem to get injured on it.

You'll be playing 17 lads on Sunday no matter who they are surely?





Not our fault Sammy boy gets to pick and choose when he fancied playing!

So he only wants to play in competitive games, does he? While he's obviously a once-in-a-generation talent, he's getting way way too big for his boots I'm afraid.
