Arm injury blow for O'Carroll
Widnes have confirmed that prop Eamon O'Carroll will miss the remainder of the season with a broken arm.
O'Carroll, 25, only joined the Vikings last month, making his debut in the 40-10 home win over Castleford.
However, we was helped off during the 46-8 win at Salford last Friday, and he now joins the likes of captain Jon Clarke and vice-captain Shaun Briscoe on the Widnes injury list.
The Vikings take on Hull KR this weekend, looking to record back-to-back wins for the first time this season, against a Rovers side that have lost their last four.
Coach Denis Betts said: "Our process has been exactly the same and the players know that there are still many big challenges ahead of us. We have always talked about the second half of the year as a big driver and you can really start to see the players' self belief growing.
"Regardless of recent results, Hull KR are a very good side. They have got fantastic strike players and two front rowers who have played at State of Origin level. Craig (Sandercock) is a really good coach and I know he will be working hard to get a response this week."
Widnes remain without long-term injury victims Simon Finnigan, Ben Kavanagh and Thomas Coyle.
