Both sides were poor imo.
Widnes were positively frantic. They were also quite predictable, with a short pass to a man running down the middle on nearly every play. When we did throw it quickly out wide Halifax looked panicky. Then there was Websters short kicking for Paddy Flynn to chase, instead of booting it down field to pin them on their own line and hunt for the mistake. This is what Brannigan did very successfully against us.
At the end of the day Halifax have put together a very experienced squad, and there is a lot of quality there too. We, more or less, matched them with a lot of youngsters in the side. I think that this gives us more reason to be optimistic than Halifax. The youngsters are coming along great and our policy of faith in youth is starting to pay off imo.
, every top half team will lose to both expected and unexpected sides, will be very tight comes the seasons end
