With the fit players we have with no extra signings, think it may be something like.
1. Owens
2. Sergent
3. Sambou
4. Butt
5. Ince
6. Richardson
7. Gilmore
8. Houghton
9. JJ
10. Lawton.
11. Wilde
12. Roberts
13. Gregson
Bench
Lyons
Chapelhow
Langtree
Murray
18th Connelly
That team will win easily. More worried about who we play vs Sheffild so we still have energy for the final. And to make sure 2/3 more dont get injurrd
@dan1 yeah hopefully we get permission for 8 loans or something.
I think Alan Coleman talked about dispensation on his interview for the remaining games, so hopefully get 7 or 8 loans against Sheffield.This was in his interview because it would be ridiculous having 17 fit players for the final and playoffs. Lyons, Sergent, Conelly and Mcquirter might play then.It is ridiculous when teams like Newcastle get much easier fixtures with loads of loans from York. I did think the Halifax game would be as tough as Sheffield away, because Fax played well the week before and always seem to raise there game against Widnes.
@pascal Yeah hopefully we can get some wigan or wire reserves. i wonder if we make any perm signing can they play in final.
Dummy Halves we can sign permanent, im struggling to think of any realistic ones
@weatesviking Ben Harthill from Warrington has played for us before but not sure if we would play him in the final. I would love Kai Taylor-Wray who is currently playing for the reserves alongside Harthill.
Natan Wilde played for Leigh reserves last week so could come in for Banditt.
I would try and get some loan players for the Sheffield match from the lower teams in our division, who have nothing to play for , and possibly some amateur players It doesn’t matter to us if we win or lose, so it doesn’t matter how good the players are, and play a couple of squad players.
Then we could put out an almost fresh team against London in the final.

I think our points difference is a few hundred from Sheffield, so have to lose by 200 and that would be a record.🤣 I think we should get 8 loans from Super league and pay a few amateurs a small amount who love Widnes.Add Sergent, Connelly, Lyons, Gregson and Houghton who have not played much. So only need 4 or 5 amateur players.
It would probably cost us more to get SL players on loan, and we don’t want to spend a lot of money on a nothing game, that’s why I’d try and get lower teams players on loan
Well first let’s beat workington
the injury list is very long now, but good news with mcwhirter possibly playing sunday
our biggest problem is interchange hooker - I think we have used Jack before there, so maybe use him and joey at fullback ( I would not be very comfy with Jack back in that position)
if we can get loan players great - particularly for the Sheffield game
big question - can Richardson play in the final ?
if not joey needs a run out at 6
@7-vikingnomad I think there was a suggestion recently we may have been given positive news in Richardson playing the final but not heard owt concrete yet
Teamsheet could have echos of yesteryear...............
A.N.Other
S.O.Else
A Player
..............
or simply.......`you are XXXX XXXXX today`
A team team sheets sometimes had only a few legit names.
According to the press, Brand from Leigh could be heading this way on loan, and this was apparently confirmed by Lam in his weekly conference.
He's been out for ages, so makes sense as Leigh are approaching the play offs to get up to speed. Started out with us and came back for a short spell last season. Would replace Edge although we have Sambou now as well.
