Quote: Judder Man "Don,t know how you can make this judgement based on one game and hyping it up on good youth development.

Over these last 2 seasons within success of entering superleague Widnes have been tonked at every age level including the first team losing consistenly by 50, 60 and 70 points. Massive beatings by Leeds, Warrington, Wigan and Saints again at every level.

I think you are getting carried away and getting a distorted point of view. Widnes same game last year was rubbish and got tonked by 62 points, Saints this year was rubbish and got tonked by 7 points, Similarly Widnes were rubbish against Wigan and got toked by 60 points, Wigan was rubbish and got tonked by Widnes by 2 points, similar scenarios with Warrington, Huddersfield and Leeds.

Widnes fully deserved there win on Friday night and no saints fan would say otherwise, we had a similar reaction from the wire fans when they got there first win after all those years, so we assume your reaction to the win is a similar distorted one.'"

Who cares Widnes beat you fair and square.Yes we have had some heavy defeats,and so have other teams.We have 11 points and last year 12 and still plenty of games to go.We are a better side this year and still improvements to be made.You lot seem to have the define right to walk on the pitch and win.Well the Wigan fans are laughing on their board.

Don't know what the opinions of the wigan fans have got to do with it, but yes you were the better side and deserved the win and yes you are a better team than last year and we are worse then last year.

Hopefully it should set you up for the season. icon_smile.gif

If they bring a DVD out when they win a game, I can see us having an open-top bus parade next time we get two points!

What is all the bull being written by both Vikings and Saints fans.
On the night the best team won, no question.
As a Viking I will admit that tonight's win was brill, but we are still a team in progress.
We are not as bad as Saints fans think, nor not as good as some Vikings fans think.
What I will say is that I'm surprised at the lack of depth in the Saints side.
When you consider that both Saints and Wigan have had 16 years to build a squad, you have
To say that compared to Wigan than Saints are non- runners.
As regards the Vikings, give us another 3 years and watch out, until then we have to take our wins,
Especially against local sides gleefully.

Quote: Francis61 "What is all the bull being written by both Vikings and Saints fans.'"

Some Widnes fans seemed to take offence at our moaning - that it was a slight on their performance. That was the 5TH game we'd lost on the bounce, something I can't remember in my time as a saints fan (nearly 20 years). Of these 5 defeats, only 1 of these has come against a team higher than us in the league table.
I'd suggest it was unwise of Widnes fans to log on to this forum and expect a "Credit to Widnes" vibe.

First and foremost if you don't build a fan base you will never match the ambition of your chairman and will remain a bottom four side.

Moving on I have always liked Widnes and the warm welcome the fans have always given to opposition supporters, this year that was a touch lacking at Naughton Park. Your manic statement about Saints in relation to Wigan perhaps sums up your knowledge of the game.

Celebrating narrowly beating Saints atm is a bit like celebrating a points decision over an old and frail Muhammad Ali.

You can only beat what's in front of you but I think people from other clubs are getting a bit over-excited about 'beating Saints.' We're one of the worst sides in the comp atm and at our absolute lowest ebb. We'll be back though.

I actually really like Widnes fwiw.

Agreed. A rimming for Widnes was just not going to be on the cards with our losing streak atm.
