Owl is right Vikingnomad, Brand came through our academy system. He tends to play centre or wing. I have no idea how accurate this story is, but we do seem to have a good relationship with Leigh so there might be something in it. 

There is an injury update on the club website.

 

Connell and Banditt are out for 12 days to comply with the concussion protocol, so they miss Workington and Sheffield, as I think the 12 days starts the day after the game which was 17th and therefore they become available on 29th.

Essentially, Fozard and Hall are still being assessed.

Edge and Flemming are out for the season now, hence the potential chat about Brand.

In better news McWhirter will be fit for the Workington game and Bent will be back in mid September.

Owens should be back after his ban, no word on Lyons so you would assume he is over his injury, Wilde wasn't picked against Halifax but he could be back, Sergent should be available, no idea on Connolly.

Well Brand has just signed for Castleford on loan, so he isn't coming here then.

The source of rumours crap then.🤣We have Jack, Sambou and Taylor for centre. We need some big forwards and a hooker now with Foz injured.

we really need an interchange hooker, centres just about ok, pack will be fine with mcwhirter and bandit back

the worky game will be hard with the few players we have left

I would probably go along  with that but i think Jack Owens will go Fullback and Taylor centre or Max Roberts. Prefer to keep Jack Owens away from full back personally, and it does look like finally Coleman realises Lyons is not good enough.

I think that’s the least enthused a crowd has ever been at Widnes. A complete non event of a game. As far too many have been this season.

RFL needs to sort it out- or they’ll completely kill the sport outside SL. Some might say they already have.

Good win........all round better man for man except Ince -nightmare - on loan from Cas Harrison Jewitt looked a good prospect for them........

Totally agree, great win and all but Workington should not be in the Championship, one of the slowest semi pro teams I have ever seen. If it was a boxing match the ref would have stepped in and stopped it!

This cannot be repeated next season as its just not worth £24 for a no contest. Not the clubs fault, but the Championship last year was a good competition, such a shame.

Yes a very bad watch as a game 

some of our lads seemed to turn off - bombed 2/3 certain tries

ince was not at the races - is he on his way to salfraud ?
sargent was deserved mom

chapelhow again showing his worth

jack had a very good game, but against better teams not at full back

selection for Thursday will tell a lot I feel
