3 weeks ago I would of been happy with that result. Leahy is a tool.

Well done Featherstone. Great result against the Mutants. They're having a great season - it's nice to see someone new at the top.

Not overly disappointed with tonights display, Ainscough didn't have his best game but I thought Davies and Webster were our best players tonight. I thought Hardman and Morrison were poor for them but Saxton put in a shift and made good yards all night. Lets hope next weeks game is as close.

everything came off webster tonight but the credit has to go to both teams defensive displays. Widnes defence was sharp.

Sounded a good game. Radio said Ainscough had a stinker. Should have tackled hardacre(sp?) for a drop out, missed him and 1 min later the drop goal went over. Good effort, good to see you with something more like a 1st team.

Hardman?

They got their drop goal from a penalty at the scrum, Widnes got penalised in 78th min for not having a loose forward in the scrum, Penalty downfield = DG for the win.

Ah maybe it was hardman. On radio they said it was zak hardacre or whatever his name is who managed get out of his in goal area past ainscough. Then as you said penalty at scrum and a drop goal.

Cannot wait for our next few games. Got Bradford, Widnes and 'Fev all coming up. Should be a brilliant month rugby-wise

Disjointed performance tonight for me...

Not surprising really.. Netherton in at hooker looked like a player who had only been at the club for a couple of hours and in such a key area this cost us. Smith would have given us more drive and direction, Coyle some dynamism and Hulme a bit of pace and spark. I think Netherton will settle in though given an opportunity to train with the side.

Widnes never really looked like a team out there whereas Fev looked like a settled side and defended well. It was a better result than I expected but coming away from the match I was disappointed we didn't get the three points.

you have to be encouraged by the way Widnes have come back over the past couple of weeks. Ever since Janurary, we've been faced with adversity. I'm just crossing my fingers that everything may just start to click at the back end of the season. We've peaked before at this early stage, there's not a lot of use in it apart from winning the NRC. If we can managed a performance like that without some key men, I'm positive that we can get it right once the bodies are back fit.

Decent turn out, I'd say about 300 maybe?
