Never, ever got why Fax fans rate Nash and proved it again. Pants 2nd row playing as an overweight slow centre... Always though that!

Benny at his club best again :D

Who needs Thackeray, wild, buzzin'?

In all seriousness that performance was very refreshing from the last couple of weeks and I hope it continues for the rest of the season but the Halifax performance is probably the worst I've seen them play in the last five years.

Ouch that was bad, real bad, we were terrible in defence and tbh this against the worst Widnes team I have seen since you came down to this level.
We hardly deserved our BP we only got it because your defence is nearly as bad as ours.
Two poor teams tonight, maybe you are writing this year off to clear out for SL?
As for us, we need to clear our coach out and soon!


I don't understand why one or two of your posters have suggested that either team was shockingly poor. Our defence was not particularly good in the first half, true. But there was a lot of creativity in the tries. I'd write it off as sour grapes, but that doesn't ring true because you're not giving yourself any credit either.

We have things to work on, as I've outlined above, but your squad isn't particularly bad, I honestly think you'll eventually find some form and nestle in mid table and as for us, providing we don't have the dual reg turmoil we might actually make the play offs. Those short kick offs were devastating for us, we had some inexperienced players there, and the scoreline looks terrible but there are plenty of 30-28 games you don't think are weak so an extra 10 points here or there and it's a travesty?

Honestly, this is not the worst widnes side I've ever seen. It's not even close. We've beaten fev and sheffield, and we'll both I suspect be fine come the end of the season.

This is history. This is history. Right here. Right now. This is history.

I thought it was Widnes?

[quote="BIGAL1"]All games are winnable, whats hard to understand about that.

Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]

I think Messrs West and Long need not worry about the sides they assembled.

I dont think we are a bad side, just lack composure. Thought even against Leigh we showed that we can play but when we make a mistake our heads seem to drop. Last night was all about the 3 points and to restore a bit of confidence. We were bound to show a bit of nerves in the 2nd half after whats happened in the last three games. Hopefully we can kick on now and show a bit of form for the rest of the season.

Great Result last night but I will stand by my opinion of what went on mid week.sacking 4 players to provoke a response from the remaining players isn't coaching.

Crosby was injured (concusion I think) but hoping to be back on Monday.

Mellor looked really good, he gets rid of the ball very quickly which was a big bonus playing 7. Backs up well and looked quite elusive. After probably only 1 session with the side things can only get better.

Tomkins, that lad is something special in the making. Put in a very long shift yesterday working hard in attack and defence. Scored 2 tries. He is very quick around the ruck (sometimes too quick for some) and causes defences all kinds of problems dragging markers all over the show. Very bright future.

A good nights work, fax are in a false position, to many good attacking players to stay at the bottom.

No good having good attacking players if they ship some of the shambolic tries that they did last night.

Did anyone else notice that, bar Halifax's first set, it took 32 minutes for a set of six not to end in either a try or a drop out? :shock:

Some good attacking play at times from both sides - Mellor and Tomkins ran the show - but some of the defence on display was absolutely atrocious.
