Perhaps a bit of Kiwi bias there from Bluey, I wonder? As everyone has said suits Widnes down to the ground. A real shame for Hanbury though as he was back to his pre injury form against Wigan.
Looks like we will have Moon, Leuluai,Hardaker, Hall, Sinfield, Burrow,JJB playing Friday. We will also be without Watkins, McGuire, Ablett and Ward all injured. Good news is JP and BJB will be playing.
I am concerned about the atmosphere inside the stadium for the game. Will a "weak" Leeds squad result in fewer of their fans travelling across to Widnes on a Monday? Possibly their fans will just stay in Yorkshire and watch the match on telly. Hope not as we need a decent crowd.
