No idea how this will go. Salford are off the pace missing some former players such as Flash. Big loss was Brown to Huddersfield,  Salford seem to be less fit this year.

In my heart, Widnes.

In my head,....,..................Widnes

If Owens and Craven play to the best of their abilities, I think we may have a shot at this game but I'm going to go Salford 24-8.

Much as it pains me to say it, Salford, but only just.

Salford look vulnerable in the pack with not many big hitters and ackers failing somewhat to adequately replace lussick 

As a widnes fan, I can indeed see an upset happening

I think my fellow Widnes fans are a bit over optimistic for this game. We couldn’t even close out the game against Newcastle, I very much doubt we’ll match Salford

Salford by 8.

Tend to agree with this.

No Brown (1 game ban) Sarge out for a month.

At least that might mean that we can find out who can play full back.

Always look on the bright side, eh John?

That was my first thought, too. Salford should win this game, but the confidence of the last two seasons has seemingly evaporated, so I'm back to 'not sure' mode. Hoping the team clicks and we win by about 15 points.

[Davo5]

Comfortable Salford win

[JonM]

Salford by plenty.

Yes, Tony. Can’t understand why we signed an international full back, but haven’t played him, preferring instead an international centre who clearly struggles at full back. Don’t know why we didn’t retain Ashall-Bott when we had the chance.

Widnes have not been impressive so far this season. Last weeks 2nd half performance certainly does not fill me with confidence for this game. Salford to win by 30 or so.

We have yet to slip into 6th gear that much is true 

I think the pack may need some attention 

Some good young lads coming through though 

[Spidey]

Tyrer & Owens in the pack for Widnes are interesting selections 

[johnh1]

24 - 0 to Salford approaching half time.
