Time to go for me.

I totaly agree for 80mins we played one out rugby you would have thought after half an hour one of the coaches would have realised this wasnt working and changed the game plan? but who would we get in what coach would want to come to Widnes? Also Betts and co are telling players they havent done enough to earn contracts what have they done to earn or deserve theres?

That will not happen.

It was yet another inept performance. The defence is completely unorganised, with some moving up quickly and others not, creating gaps everywhere for the opposition to exploit. There was nothing from the half-backs and hooker and no second phase of attack - or any sort of support play really.

I'm getting a little tired of the excuses for all this now. This has little to do with players staying or going, there was plenty of effort from all the players today, just a complete lack of coordination in both defence and attack - THAT'S JUST BAD COACHING!

Despite all the stick he's been getting lately, I thought Dave Allen was our best player and, if a few other players had been on his wavelength, we might have scored a few more trys at least.

I am not often given to massive overraction when it comes to my teams performances but im sorry to say that was absolute gash, no pride, no passion, no organisation, no direction whatsoever. completely pathetic. It has been this way to varying degrees every game of this season. absolute gash in everyway. I dont know what it is, whether its the inevitable effect of the franchise announcement and the uncertainty that creates in the minds of players i do not know, but these guys are human, its foolish to think that their hearts are in it anymore (in many cases). is it down to this or is it just helpful recruitment and helpful coaching? Regardless that does not excuse the complete lack of passion, organisation etc i mentioned. Something is very wrong indeed.

Back to basics for Widnes. You can't do any worse than going back to plucking out a "home-grown" by bringing in Matt Calland. He's the real deal. He'll put trophies in yer cabinet.

Spot on Pepe.

i must agree with you pepe, Dave allen was giving it loads today, a thankless task when surrounded by such weak willed gash.

Re: Betts out! : Sun Sep 04, 2011 4:25 pm  

Were stuck with Mr Betts im affraid, hes already signed the bulk of super league squad so to bring someone else in now would be foolish, we just gotta hope he knows what hes doing!

I think all the uncertainty over whos going and staying has caused an unhappy dressing room and hopefully thats all it is.

Im pretty sure thats the 1st time in history the man of the match has been boo'd! lol

Roll on next season as soon as possible please, might as well not bother going to Sheffield, just give them a bye and be done with it

Re: Betts out! : Sun Sep 04, 2011 4:55 pm  

Im with Pepe on this one, Betts isnt the right choice but what can we do? a Karl Harrison or Darryl Powell is exactly what we need but sadly that wont happen. Im staggered that over 5,000 turned up today!

I will say that Betts is likely to be gone within the next 12 months.

Pretty much. I don't think there's anything he could have done at the end of this season that would have got him the sack. Which is not really what you want for a coach, to have that level of job security.
