Llanon & Hall for Bent & Roberts
Sorry should have lannon at 13
Must win, so have to play Patton whilst he is fit.
My money would be on ...
Owens
Williams
Fleming
Edge
Butt
Patton
Gilmore
Murray
Fozard
Reilly
Langtree
Lyodd
Lannon
Bench...Lyons..bent....Kirk ..doolan
Think doolan will get bench nod for hooker interchange..and others out of loyalty ...if not might use Lyons as sub hooker..or even shift Patton there when Lyons comes on .. and put hall on bench..Kirk n bent deffos I'd imagine

That would be my team too. Probably have Hall over Bent but either player not a problem for me. We have a decent quality of 22 players that could take each others place, but unfortunately injuries will occur and we need to utilise and rotate the squad to do well in all competitions. I think Warrington will want to give us the better players available once dual is required. Coleman has already mentioned 3 in his interview.
Sounds like a very windy and cold place to visit today. Hope all goes well and a good result to boot👍👍
3 mins and Williams in but it's given as a forward pass, but good work from Vikings
Ht 0-16
triesfrom Langtree, Edge and Williams with Gilmore adding two goals.
Second half is a much closer game by the sounds of it
Rochdale 16-34 Widnes FT
Would have liked to have kept their score down a bit in the 2nd half but overall job done away from home.
Think it is quite difficult to read anything too much into these two Challenge Cup games as it is still effectively pre-season.
From the radio coverage the matter of lying on and brazenly slowing down the game needs urgent attention. This bores the hell out of spectators and slows the game down, taking away the excitement.
As it is youngsters are being coached to kill the game rather than to excite the spectators !!!!
Good win in the end, though we went to sleep a bit in the first 20 of the second half, until we brought Fozzard back on. Rochdale were slowing the play the ball down consistently without getting penalised until the ref finally got fed up with it with about 15 minutes to go and started penalising them for it.
I thought Edge had a great game and was easily the MOM
