Anybody know what is supposed to be wrong with Anderson.
Suspect that Scott Moore and Ben Harrison are just listed to make up the 19.
Bookies have us with a 12 point start, difficult to predict this one, two teams in a run of `thank the Lord we are not in the middle 8`s `form. We have had some great results at Widnes so you never know. Heart says Wakey, head Widnes

Hope I'm wrong but I wonder whether this could be Anderson's last season and the injury end his career it sounds very serious.

Bulging disc should not stop him playing, cortisone injection and pain killer does the trick . It's just a disc pushing on the nerve , playing won't make it worse .

I had a work colleague about 10 years ago who had a bulging disc and he couldn't work never mind play rugby as he was in agony.
