| Addy was awful at 6 against Hull and was excellent in the second row inside Lulia against Leeds.

Yeah, but it is only Doncaster, with all due respect
I'd be looking to rest anyone who is carrying a knock

| The way Sammut was hobbling I think it's a given that he'll sit out the cup game, looked like some sort of strain.. possibly hamstring. Maybe we should just pair BJ up with one of the youngsters rather playing Addy in a role he isn't suited to?
Potter probably won't be able to rotate the squad as much as he'd like with the extra injuries and possible suspensions that might happen after Tuesday.

Do we?
Kear injured, Sykes on loan - the only leaves Platt that I can think of. And setting aside whether he is 'capable', apparently he was hobbling around at Widnes too!

| Cracking performance. I was worried in the first few minutes as they looked totally knackered, but they stuck to the job and the result to be fair never looked in doubt. Great away support - must have been close to 2000 Bulls fans there? Brilliant, and great to show support for Widnes - what a top club they have been with their support for us.
Were the Widnes fans booing Jon Clarke as he came back on in the 2nd half? What's all that about?
Only downside for me is what looked like two more injuries - Sammut and Platt hobbling off at the end - lets hope it's nothing long term.
Well played Bulls - 3 points clear of ninth place now - wow - getting vertigo!

Maybe he was, he doesnt have to be excellent there. He just has to cover, which he can do. Its clear he's a backrow forward, but he's got some handling skills and Im sure he could do a job there for us in the CC on Sunday.
As Bully said, he could try a youngster there, maybe that Marcus Elliot or AN Other, I dunno.
Cant move Kearney to 6, because Platt might be injured aswell and that would leave us no or little cover for wing and FB.

| Echo a lot of what's already been said. Stuck to the task today and defended well, could have had a couple more had Kearney been wearing the correct footwear!
Stand outs for me were Manoukafoa, Purtell, Langley and good to see Koppy back.
What a great Easter its turned out to be on the field. COYB.

| Fair enough if we're down to the bare bones and then some, Addy will have to play 6 but I really liked him on the fringe where he has a pass, a little kick through - just something a little different where tbh we've not fed Lulia like I think we should have.

Hasn't Bateman played 6 before or am I imagining that. Could be an option. Or l'estrange if he isn't banned.

| You guys brought a fair few but nowhere near 2,000. I would say closer to 1,000, tops. Regarding Jon Clarke the majority did boo him as he’s been absolute garbage all year. Meant to be our ‘experienced player’, he’s been a major disappointment. I was really impressed by Samutt today along with Jamie Langley who tackled his heart out for you guys.
Good luck for the rest of the year!

| Was def more than 1000 Bulls fans there today. Did someone say that the west stand holds 3000? looked about 3/4 full from where i was sat.
Whatever the number it was a good atmosphere and good to see the Red Amber and Black showing their appreciation to Widnes and the chairman for the support shown recently.

Well someone said the end we were in held 3000 and it was no way near half empty. And neither of the other two stands were remotely full. Credit to Widnes for their support to the Bulls woes anyway.
Anyway it was a decent enough performance against what is unfortunately the worst side in super league. Not really that clinical but given conditions and quick turn around to be expected.
Was just happy to get the 2 points as this was an obvious place for a banana skin.

Worst side because we have two clowns in Betts and Cullen.We are near full cap and Salford can recruit better and motivate the players the coach.Our fans dont want to go anymore because we are a disgrace on the pitch.I wont go again till Betts and Cullen gone.Anyway all the best.

| If we agree there were about 15-1600 Bulls Fans (about just over half full in West Stand) it just shows what a shrewd businessman the Widnes Chairman is, not that I want to take anything away from his gestures, but knowing we were his next home game he generated an empathy between the clubs by donating cash and tickets to the tune of £22k ensuring more Bulls Fans at the game!
If the walk up was about 1000 on top of the 600 donated Widnes probably covered the cost of the donations today via turnstiles and the refreshment bars, and generated a crowd for possibly one of their potentially poorer box office events today.
As I said I don't want to make light of the gestures and Widnes were very hospitable today on and off the pitch, I just wish our Chairman had been that savvy for the past 6 years

I was talking about the exact same thing today at the game, even though i was saying it tongue-in-cheek.

That side is near full cap? Seriously?
Unfortunate massive amounts of dead wood there and some players probably on more than they deserve to be. Know a lot about that at Bradford.

Mate i know my rugby and the players are robbing the club.Players have the blame as need the dedication aswell.I feel the Conditioner is crap at Widnes too.Glad you came to Widnes and hopefully next season too. Hopefully can recruit better next season and a better coaching set up.

| Just over 1,230 away fans at the Stobart Stadium today.
You certainly made yourselves heard.
Does anyone on here own the Platt banner? It got some ferocious action today.

| No disrespect, but we should be able to beat a championship 1 side if we rest the ones with knocks.
Kearney
Rossi
Purtell
Lulia
Ainscough
Elliot
Jeffries
Manu
Diskin
Kopzcak
Elima
Elliott
Langley
Addy (as Hooker)
Bateman
Kopzcak
Burgess/Olby
Would be thrilled to see youngsters given a chance rather than play people out of position or with knocks.

| It was a messy game, and your lot didn't really have to get out of second gear we were that poor today. Apparently our SC is at £1.4 million ( which is £200,000 under the limit i believe ? )
I'm still going to the game this Saturday to watch us get hammered by Saints because i'm a fan of my Club, and i turn up win lose or draw the previous game.........

Thats what being a Fan is about, supporting your Team through good and bad times, some of our lot only seem to remember the good times but forget that we are paying the price for how we did it then to where we are now. Though if you don't go through adversity sometimes, you never will appreciate the good days/years. Keep the Faith your Clubs turn will come eventually and sometimes it takes so long you hope you are around to see it.
