played well widnes. We came within inches of a draw and if we had DP would have done time for theft. BBest team won. C'est la vie.
Onwards and upwards!

Cheers, mate! Just had a look over reactions on your TotalRL board and all reads pretty similar. Thought we were exceptional in defence and maybe should of scored more points in the first half and nearly had one / two in the 2nd. You have to credit Featherstone as you did keep going to the end, and I think that missed kick (Finn?) made heads drop slightly as couldn't win the game and we found that extra effort in defence again. Enjoyed the day (bar the bizzare people of Wakey ). See you again next time around and all the best this season

Played well and another full 80 for him, put in some nice kicks to take the pressure from thacks. The fitter he gets the better he gets with nev.

Yeah he played very well. He didn't do the full 80 though as Chris Gerrard came on for him for a 10 min spell after about an hour.

The tackle by Kurt Haggerty with a minute left was a game saver.

Kavanagh was superb and Varks did well again despite Dickens trying to rough him up.

Tyrer's defence was good and he didn't seem too bothered by J20's mob singing cringy Celtic songs about him

Some players have improved beyond all recognition from last season, to the point where they hardly seem to be the same players. With some very good players due back from injury, we cannot help but get better and better. It’s starting to look pretty good. I think, by the Barrow game (25 April), we’ll know for sure if we will be likely contenders for the Grand Final.

Chris i am glad you are positive like me about our squad.I think we can win the league, and as i said mate we still have two good props to come back in contention.With having a good squad, we can rest players and put others in just as good.If we get an injury to any of the backs, we have cover and in the forwards aswell.I know people worry if Thacks got injured, but we have I,Anson,Coyle, and Gore who can play halfback.If anything got drastic Craven can go at standoff.Flynn,Ropati,and Craven can play fullback so i have no fear.Young Jack Owens is quality and i also have a feeling we have some space left on the cap.

I fancy us to do well this year. Really Well.

Not that you've ever heard of a Widnes fan that is obsessed with scrum-halves, but I think the form of I'Anson and indeed Netherton (not forgetting Coyle / Gore / Lunt) at 9 will be crucial to our hopes of winning anything this year.

the left side on a whole made about 10 try saving tackles in the last 10 mins at 1 point tyrer and coyle were over on the right side covering then tracked by to there side and kicked the ball out of play and the full time whistle went,betts defo getting the best out of tyrer now with even more to come from him yet in my opinion,ropati is also getting better by the game,we could now go on a good undefeated run
