The Vikings went into last Saturday’s Carnegie Challenge Cup tie against Wigan with 16 of their first team squad unavailable to them.Several of those were unable to play because they are effectively loanees who were restricted by their parent clubs, but they are expected to be back in harness tonight.And there are also signs of some chinks of light in the Vikings’ injury log-jam with props Jim Gannon and Daniel Heckenberg back in the reckoning along with back-rower Dave Allen and possibly even winger Dean Gaskell who has yet to feature in 2010.

The Centurions were only saved from relegation last season after the off-field implosion of Gateshead Thunder but have improved markedly since the return of coach Ian Millward to the club where he made his name.Vikings assistant coach Stuart Wilkinson knows what his side are up against.He said “Obviously something went on at the back end of last season when they were failing miserably.“It started then really. It’s no surprise they’ve recruited a really elite, massively experienced guy to run it, and he has recruited well.
