vs Featherstone Rovers : Thu Feb 24, 2011 8:45 am  

Featherstone Rovers v Widnes Vikings 6pm
NRC Pool 1 Match
Ref M Thomason TJ J Callaghan TJ D Butler RR A Gill MC S Cross

Should be a tough match. Fairly difficult to gauge how this one will go. With Coyle in as scrum half and Gerrard as the other alternative I think we may struggle for that cutting edge but at least we are starting this competition with a reliable points kicker.
The heart rules the head on this one...

I'm going for Fev 22 - Widnes 26

Pickersgill and Dave Allen should be back so that will give us more options, even Scully might get a run so the pack is rock solid at the min. Fev are a tough side but i think we can win.

Difficult to call. We have Morrisson, Divorty and Haley out. Williams comes in on a DR.
We're obviously short of heavy artillery and that leaves us vulnerable. However, with 3 out and losing 2 more in the match (on for almost all the game, t'other for the whole of the 2nd half) - we came away from Barrow with a proper backs to the wall rearguard win last week. [Fantastic game - a right advert for our league - proper quality blood and snot rugby].
I feel that to beat widnes it will need every player to emulate last weeks performance again!

Fev win

Re: vs Featherstone Rovers : Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:52 pm  

I think we'll beat them actually, very close last year we are stronger there missing Briggs and a few big forwards. Think we are getting noticeably better by the week in
all departments. Are 1st BIG test so should be a cracker. Real though game but we need to show we mean business this season.

Widnes 28 - Fev 16

Going straight there from the DW stadium. Could do with J20 getting the kick off delayed so we don't miss much.
