Widnes : Sat Sep 09, 2023 5:18 pm  

Yet another big, big game- both teams on form and pushing for a playoff spot.
After the win at Sheffield last time out we’ve got to back ourselves to win but I reckon it’s going to be a close run thing - probably no nails left tomorrow at 5pm!

Newcastle result aside, none of Widnes' last few wins have been by a particularly large margin, so yeah, probably another close one.

Defensive effort against Sheffield was superb and if we can emulate that we should be able to get in good position. Hopefully we spent the week tidying up the attack.

Hopefully just the weather for half the team at least.

Very noticeable so far widnes last play kick option spot on tackle made as player touches the floor.
Ours all too deep nearest tackler to reciever 10-15 mtrs back

That was just like watching Brazil! Broncos played very well and Widnes kept it close(ish) until they capitulated late on.

May have got interesting if Widnes had made it 30/18 but nice that we gave somebody a good tonking

A couple of away teams last year didn't cope well with the heat. Did that happen today? Rail engineering work put me off going today. How waa the crowd?

Not sure I'd quite agree with that. I thought Widnes' end of sets, particularly in the first half were poor. Too many kicks just drilled into touch and didn't really make them a contest.
