To only lose by 18 points is a massive result for the 'Vikings'. Well done.

Best game ive watched in ages, well worth the money! :D

Paddy Flynn was very good. Was it him who regathered his own chip kick and then booted it to the right, caught by someone else who scored? Brilliant try that. Best one of the night.

It's good to know that a St Helens lad scored the first try at Langtree Park, even though he was playing for Widnes!

We gave them a real good game tonight and the lads can be proud of themselves. Really like the new stadium. Well done Saints.

Well played Widnes.

You certainly displayed more attacking creativity than St Helens for much of the game. Your kicking game was much better than St Helens as well.

Although a friendly its quite clear the team don't intend to simply make up the numbers and once the team gels a bit more some of the other clubs will not look forward to playing against you.

Yeah I thought we gave you a really good game. Good luck for the season ahead. I think we'll surprise a few along the way.

It was supposed to be 13,000 and sold out but the attendance was less than this which is strange.

Where did the 13,000 figure come from? It was announced by Saints as a reduced capacity but I don't remember them ever putting a figure on it?

The official attendance was 11,900.

The 13,000 limited capacity was printed in the St Helens Star and Reporter.
