WIDNES VIKINGS coach John Kear hopes to have hooker Jordan Johnstone and prop Lewis Hatton back in the reckoning for Sunday's Challenge Cup fourthround tie at Dewsbury, which will be streamed live by The Sportsman website (3pm).
The close-season signings (from Hull FC and Swinton respectively) picked up head knocks during the 14- 12 home league defeat by Toulouse (Hatton was making his 100th career appearance) and missed the visit of Newcastle to the DCBL Stadium.
