ben black man of match

widnes 36 - fax 18
fax not at best yet, strange that started fixtures with 3 of the games we lost last year.
hope wrong again as was last week.

Widnes 24
Fax 31

Big prerformance from Gene.

Beswick to slot a drop goal in the 78 min

Fax bonus point if we are lucky.. Think we are way off pace right now.

Widnes by two falls and a submission!

Id be happy with a bonus point. Hopefully they might be a bit more tired than us and we can stay in touch with them.

What's going on here?? Fax fans predicting a loss for their team despite all the hype pre-season??

Personally my heart says Widnes win but my head says this might be our first defeat.
Our defence will have to be good and I have my concerns in this area.

I think all Fax fans are still confident about this season - We are just a little under cooked at the moment with the pre season being disrupted. But there are signs that we are starting to click - Black and Brannigan get better every game, Shadrack is on fire at the moment at full back, The Beast will be fitter on Thursday along with Dom. Franks also seems to be stepping up his game.

Should be an interesting night Thursday.

I don't think we'll even get a bonus point. Once Widnes get on a roll at home they are VERY hard to stop. I'm never really confident going to Widnes and I think this has come too early for us to challenge.

I so hope I'm wrong though!

Bonus point will be good for us. Hope it's not repeat of last years 'effort' there.

34-18 to Widnes
