The team gave their all today they never gave up - but Widnes's full time fitness and the fact that they were sharper than us told in the end - it demonstrated just how much money you would need to be competitive in Super League as well -they have spent £1.5 million on their squad and they finished bottom!!

Fax would need £2-3 Mn to get up and stay in SL IMO - shows the chasm that exists between SL and the Championship.

Hope we get another year or two out of him before his obvious destiny of super league.

With us or do we have no ambition whatsoever? I'm not getting any younger!

Probably tough to back up from the effort at HKR the week before for a part time team.
We went into the eights busted after a massive end of the regular season effort.
Hope we don't implode at Warrington as the new levels of intensity of these games start to mount up, and the Wire will be another step up in class.

I think you will find many Viking fans who would echo the "new coach" bit but they have not spent anything like £1.5m on players, if only.

I was only going off previous posts on the £1.5 million, though if you had you would be very disappointed I'd guess.
