Another glue sniffer !!

Get back to Trust In Widnes

I agree with getting some stronger hard running forwards though.

I usually am a big caller of thackeray
but i thought he had one of his better games yesterday, he got stuck in with the tackles, and offered another dimension in attack when webster had no-were to go
and with the Gannon point, he's not that type of forward, he's a hit and spin forward where he then offloads to supporting players... the problem is... we dont have any!
Looking at the squad early on the players who are not performinng are: Wildbore, Doran and Varkulis and ofcourse Thompson.
This is taking into consideration that the half backs will sort their heads out.

Bit harsh on Wildbore, hes not doing to bad and when he is playing at fullback positions himself well and good at taking the ball back up, expect far more from Varks though

I'd like to see Thackeray and Webster at half back's and maybe Duffy at loose.

I also agree with what your saying about Gannon, we really miss Morrison

yes good point
totally agree and especially Varkulis
he just simply can't tackle
didn't wildbore win 7 awards of Featherstone last year though
so he must be good player
but i agree that he is not performing at the minute

Bit harsh. Gannon has never been a charge the line busting tackle type of player but he has got a good offload when there are player to pass too. He gets through alot of work in defence which i think most people dont see. i bet he is one of the top tacklers most weeks. He has scored a few tries this year so his attack cant be a terrible as you are suggesting. Not every player can run like paliasenna but make up for it by doing other things in the game some of which go unnoticed but most fans. definatley think we need another prop on the bench instead of a winger and a hlf back.

Gannon has carried the front row most of this year for us.

He has the most hit ups in our team.

His defence is very good

His experience is invaluable

Your talking crap

Only at Widnes eh lol
