Quote: Tony Fax "The effort was there, they bust a gut to get over the line near the end, but the execution was poor, like a rudderless ship. Eg trying to acrobat in the corner on the first tackle from a scrum 10 yards from the Widnes line. I thought we had them at half time, it just needed composure which just wasn't there in the 2nd half, just headless chicken stuff with the biggest threat coming from darts by AOB at the PTBs. All very frustrating against a very ordinary Widnes who had no stand out quality.
The irony about the defeat is that Widnes have now got a sniff of the top 6 and could do us a favour by beating Batley (whose form is worse than ours - must be the 1895 cup hangover!) and London in the next couple of weeks. All is not lost.
Grix didn't seem to hang around after the match ...... he was in the Vocation in town within an hour of the final hooter, not that it means much I suppose. Just saying.'"
I was sat near Grix and his gesticulations mimicked mine , head in hands , head shaking etc , that first tackle play was one of the dumbest things I’ve seen , tbf I think the team has drove him to drink , I know if I’d have been coaching them this season I’d have been sat in poundlands doorway drinking whisky from a brown paper bag by now.
