HALIFAX have cranked up the pressure ahead of tonight’s Carnegie Challenge Cup tie with Widnes by claiming the Vikings will have a ‘big problem’ if they don’t win.
Fax have already turned the tables on Widnes in their first league game of the Co-operative Championship season and their star utility man Dwayne Barker said: “They are the favourites along with us and we don’t want to lose to them at all, in any competition. We want to get another win. If we do that, I think that’s a big mental problem for them.”
Widnes coach Paul Cullen said: “It’s an opportunity to get in an extra couple of rounds and we are determined.”
Vikings’ Richard Fletcher returns and Loz Wildbore is likely to replace Scott Yates.
Meanwhile, Warrington prop forward Garreth Carvell will make his comeback from a knee injury at York tomorrow.
