Widnes by 10 Ah Van to get a couple 5yds barge overs

Great win for Fax, only team in it to be fair.

Well done lads.

Yes glad i called that one qrong . Well played fax and very good to see Butler back in the team scoring

No a convincing win against a poor side

The only period that they were in the game today was those two tries just before HT, we dominated them all over the park today, well done boys.

Amazing - when we lose the match, topics are usually over 4 pages long but win and we haven't got past first base yet. Nothing to moan about?

I don't agree Widnes being a poor side, it's just that Fax were really up for this one and were outstanding. Muzza is a great leader, QLT is quality and Moore ran their big lads ragged round the ruck. All in all a great team performance - no weak links today. Widnes still had a sniff at 18-10 but our defence was excellent, their 2 tries coming off a Salty spill and Fairbank knock on.

The Championship is a far stronger comp this year with only Rochdale easy pickings. Swinton got another good result, as did Batley, Dewsbury are running decent sides close and Barrow are no push overs. In fact Widnes should be nervous. And poor turn out from their fans - there didn't appear to be more than 50 in the corner of the South Stand and were completely quiet for most of the game.

Feel more confident we can really give a good account of ourselves against Scouse Helens. Up the Fax!

Well after being away for so long and missing all of the loses I can't comment on recent performances but yesterdays effort was not bad from when I last got to a game.
Discipline seemed a bit better, not too many mistakes and a fair dig in attack and defense.

Perhaps the most prominent aspect of the game for me, I couldn't help but think it was like watching too sides who had planned and hoped for so much more from the season but had come up short and were in no mans land going through a transition period.

There are plenty of good sides in the Championship. Traditional clubs are going to have to get used to being pushed down the pecking order. If Toronto and Toulouse get promoted over the next two or three years, who'll replace them in the Championship ? Huddersfield ? Salford ? Rervers ? Lahndon ? Leeds ?

Life's not going to get easier. We're all going to need to run harder to stand still.

At this rate the Championship will be full of good old fashioned local derbies and Super League will be a soul-less international comp.

Fingers crossed London will stay up and the next couple of seasons Toronto and Toulouse will get promoted with Hudds and Wakey coming down (Leeds won't happen unfortunately).

It was a pretty good showing from Fax with some excellent try's. Widnes did look poor but perhaps that was down to our dominance. More of the same please. The Grove, shuddersfield, Pomona Island APA 5.3% Mmm! Up The Fax!

More than likely.

Great win - looking forward to the next match which isn't something I have thought in a while

Just re-watched this and we look a lot better than we have done discipline and handling wise

Larroyer - is he signed up if not then sign him
QLT - keep for next year seems to be starting to return to the form we know
Jonno - Needs a contract

Wont mind craven at 6 if we can tempt him from widnes as muzza is likely to retire and still looks unfit

Thought i'd read QLT was going to Ottawa.

And Im sure Murrell signed a contract extension for next year. Not a chance we could afford Craven even at the cut down price he is likely to be available at.
