Widnes : Thu Mar 10, 2016 8:53 pm  

So good to watch a game with offloads, support-play and a willingness to attack from deep.

Does anyone remember when we used to play like that?

"You don't win rugby games by throwing the ball about"

"You have to win the arm wrestle"

Joking aside, we are the most boring side in super league.

Yes, they systematically destroyed quite a decent Hull side by playing attractive rugby.

Betts got absolutely slated in the first couple of years of that job. Fair play to their board for sticking with him. He's built a decent side that play some great rugby.

Was going to say that watching last night I thought I remember once when Saints played like that! and to see Betts enjoy the play so much, not sit with a big pair of headphones and a face like it is the end of the world, they have 3 tough fixtures ahead, or will that be 2?

I can't get to many games nowadays, but it's getting to the point were I am not even interested in watching us on Sky. If I wanted to watch Union, I'd watch Union. I want to be entertained when I watch Saints. I don't want to see a centre attempting to play at 6 whilst the 2 half-backs we actually paid money for are sitting in the reserves.

I don't want to see a coach who is seemingly hell-bent on alienating our best young players and I am really fed up of being told by the club to be excited when we roll out another 'marquee' signing from another teams reserves.

Can't see them falling "off a cliff" performance wise, they look as though they are going to be top 4 this season, great for Denis Betts and his club. As for us we are still very much bobbling along into boring obscurity.

2006 was the pinnacle for me. Every single man in the team knew what to do. The attacking structure was a joy to watch. Then anderson left and so did our ideas, never seen since

As I said, I love watching Widnes.
