Will Widnes put a full strength side out for this tie you think? Or will it be a few first teamers plus fringe players to give them some game time?

The 2nd I'd gather, play a lot of the young lads who did well last year but not in 1st team right now but yes mix with a few key players like Thacks, Allen maybe (if fully fit) just to make sure!

Re: Challenge Cup : Thu Feb 17, 2011 1:47 pm  

I think/hope we mix it up a bit. Squad could be something like;

Owens, Brown, Ropati, Tyrer, Gaskell, Thacks, Gore, Varkulis, Netherton, Kavanagh, Grady, Allen, C. Gerrard.
Houghton, Heckinberg, Lunt, Sculthorpe(?), K.Haggerty

Willl both games be played at the same time then? As i'd guess a few extra Fax fans may have made the trip if not!

Rumour has it (See Fax Forum) but calderdale council have had a change of hear and the game will now go ahead at the shay as a double header!

Trying to find something official to confirm it though!
