fair to say. you really should e mail those points to julie G. they are certainly valid. maybe if some of us point out that you cant harp on about wanting people to join the stronghold whilst making extremely unattractive, nonsensical decisions like this, then maybe some at the club might begin to get it.

Will it affect players decisions whether they come here or not knowing Betts will be the Widnes coach in SL? maybe. There should be no more, we'll give him a chance and see how he gets on, its time for Betts to show us what he's made of. If i was a young British coach giving a shot atr SL for 3 years, probably longer i'd make every second count. Us as fans and as a club should get behind Betts, if we dont we make it harder for ourselves.

It wasn't the announcement i wanted or expected and i do think it may keep a few fans away but it wont keep me away. You never know what to expect with Widnes but thats what i love and hopefully here's to still a successful campaign in the super dooper league

I think I am finally reaching the acceptance stage. I'm disappointed but like a rat in a scientists cage I have come to accept that there is little that can be done to change the situation.

Best just to pucker up and wait for the lipstick to be applied.


You'd better prove me wrong Denis!!!!!!!

I'm fed up feeling negative and down about Widnes. Ever since we've gone down from SL its been 5/6 years of ifs/but/maybes and mainly maybe nots. We lost 2 grind finals and suffered administration trying to get to SL. We're finally there and i'm not going to let this decision get me down. It may be the wrong decision who knows but we're stuck with it and the sooner people realise this the easier we can move on.

I'd be letting SL take care of itself , there is this season to be played for yet , and although you haven't made the most comfortable of starts , with Fax and to a lesser degree Barrow struggling , and yes Leigh and Fev at the moment looking good , a 3 rd place finish is well on the cards , requiring only one good away performance to be in a GF , where as we know anything can happen

I think thats why people are about peed off with todays announcement, the way we have been playing this year. However not even God as coach and kitman Moses could coachRoparti to a try

Maybe this will give Dennis the push he needs to get the ball rolling in the right direction.

Re: Let down... : Tue May 10, 2011 4:05 pm  

One benefit is he is young and could easily be here for a good few years if goes well... Only really Wigan job could sway him I guess. Whereas likes of Michael Maguire will jump back NRL once chance arises. I think 'stop gap til England job' was purely speculative based on him applying for that role (and tbh could do both anyway if we got to that stage).

At least we know where we are now as do the current players so everyone at the club knows which direction we are going in and we are in this together now!

Shambles once again. The bloke is totally out of his depth. Ever get the feeling you have been cheated.

No. No matter how much money and effort we put in it won't come close to that of SO'C and he has made this choice with the rest of the board.
