With us being the better side these days, we are licking our lips at inflicting more misery on Wire in the coming derby. I expect a fairly straight forward win.
Wire 44 - 6 Widnes

No. I'll bet nobody was saying that after 60-minutes, having a comfortable lead and all... You may not have noticed, but most of the posts tonight are about the following 20 minutes when our top-of-the-table side conceded 21 points against 12-men. With the incentive of winning silverware. At home.

Taking issue with that and pointing out obvious frailties with our team isn't two-faced, it's realistic. I haven't seen anyone calling for Smith's head (yet), just people saying they think his time is up/they wouldn't mind a change.

Game turned when Currie went off and around that time we had Hill, Clark and (obviously) Currie off the field. Smith got the tactics spot on for me by directing our a paced attack down the middle to turn around their big forwards and we made loads of yards in most sets in that first half and outplayed them.

It was poor defence though for the Tompkins try before half time. We got momentum back after the break but we miss the 3 players mentioned-thought TS should have brought hill back earlier.

We've lost, had just a few naive moments, but played really well. Let's leave the scapegoating out. We've got a great chance still next week, and we're well in the running for the GF


Some of this is true - we miss Hill and Clarke, but you can't realistically say we have played well shipping in 21 points in 20 minutes against 12 men. ??

And love this 'chokers' tag: losing a game from a winnable position doesn't mean you choked.

All credit to Wigan-they went up a lot in my estimations tonight.

Looking like a cracking run in now: I reckon it's pretty much impossible to predict how things are gonna pan out. Whatever the disappoint of tonight, that's gotta be excited for any true RL fans hasn't it? And we're a key player in that drama. Still not enough for some folks. And to think we used to mock 'arrogant' fans of big clubs a few short years ago...

Ahhhhh, the good old "it'll be all right" attitude. That's why we've won sod all for over 4 years.

... We're all entitled to opinions, but, if you think we didn't bottle that........ :SUBMISSION: oh dear.

Well you can send Clark back to us if he is an example of poor recruitment.
Actually, we'll take Westerman back too.
Chris Hill and Ashton Sims would be useful props too...and we'll have Jack Hughes too if he isn't good enough.


I was thinking of the likes of Lineham, Asotasi, Blythe etc.

Re: Tonights game. : Fri Sep 16, 2016 10:05 pm  
think you blew it tonight, your bench was poor imo, hill is a beast and clark is top class, as an outsider I think Russell maybe isn't a winger but is always a handful, hope you bring a few next week, safe journey and winner takes all

We've won no trophies in 4/5 years, lost big games, finals, semi finals from winning positions due to Smiths inability to see games out and interchange players at the right times. Once is not choking, 5/6 times IS. We have no wingers and therefore lack pace and without Hill, Clark and maybe sandow this year are nothing special. I stand by my statement that our recruitment compared to others has been poor. We have no balance and no consistency. Granted we look good in periods but I'm fed up of underachieving. Finishing 2nd / 3rd shouldnt be classed as a success considering how we have developed as a club.

You are now. I'd sack him and put Murphy in the dugout. I've seen enough of his smug stubborn grin.
