Can't see Widnes winning at Bradford - too many key players missing. I suppose the pitch size will suit John Kear's coaching style. Swinton v Barrow could be close.

For all those predicting the FEV score we beat them 78-0 last year not saying we will do the same but our team  this year is head and shoulders better than last years so I think  FEV by 18 may be a tad wide of the mark

Yeah it looks like we have a lot of injuries coming in to this game. We look really thin and only 2 games in.

So, who had Sheffield E 36 Batley 0?

[The Blues Ox]

Comfortable win for Sheffield tonight. I don't see the result as a shock but the manner of it is. Sheffield have put together a really good team and I thought that was clear when they played us the other week and I think they will make the playoffs this year. Is this Batley's downfall year? They have too good a team not to come good surely.
