Widnes have managed just two wins from their last 27 visits to Yorkshire.

It’s been a sombre return to rugby league action in 2021, with the pandemic still very much active in the background.

Widnes coach Simon Finnigan has virtually a fully-fit squad to choose from, with just Logan Tomkins and Lee Jewitt now left on the treatment table.
