This Good Friday sees us back at the DCBL Stadium as we take on high flying Leigh Centurions in the first of two consecutive home games.
We will be looking to get back to winning ways following a number of below-par performances in the league. We will go into the game with four wins out of our opening seven league games, and the Leigh Centurions have won six out of seven with their only loss coming against fellow promotion hopefuls Featherstone Rovers in Round Two.
Fullback and captain Jack Owens will undergo knee surgery in the coming weeks after struggling to overcome an ongoing issue which will see him side-lined for the next eight weeks.
Halfback Danny Craven has suffered a setback on his return to action and has been for a further scan which showed a grade 3 tear in his calf which has an estimated return of around six weeks, symptom depending.
Tyler Dupree has returned to some light running but will miss the clash against the Centurions as he recovers from a hamstring problem, he will be available for selection for our trip to Featherstone in Round Ten.
Loose forward Aaron Brown is getting over a toe injury sustained in training and will be looking to get back onto the field when we entertain Batley Bulldogs on Sunday 24 April.
Ollie Brookes has returned to running on the field but will not be available for at least the next couple of weeks, aiming to be available for the Featherstone game.
Jake Spedding suffered an ankle injury in the fixture at Newcastle Thunder which he will have scanned in the coming weeks to determine how long he will be out of action. A further update will be given in due course.
Shane Grady and Levy Nzoungou are also on track with their recovery from their respective injuries.
Ramon Silva has arrived this week on an initial two-week loan from Wigan Warriors to bolster the squad ahead of the game.
Danny Addy and Jack Wells have both returned to Salford Red Devils at the expiry of their two-week loan deals. We would like to thank both for their efforts in Widnes colours.
