Did you notice the fact that Salford were lying on at every PTB just long enough to get away with it. Silverwood is not noted for blowing for penalties, but some referees would have penalised them far more than the one for a bad flop.

After three games Widnes have shown a little more than mediocrity. Ask the Huddersfield fans.

Typical. When a team is crap, blame the pitch.

Just forget that most teams train on a artificial surface.

I can recall us beating Warrington last season on their grass.

Stupid Boy,

No they are not.

I am now going to polish my car while the silly boys think up replies.

Would'nt say mediocre really...we haven't the money Salford have and we should be getting more fans,but if I remember correctly we have in the past won some trophies and where quite consistent in the 60s 70s 80s and early 90s....whereas Salford have been consistently S H I T since your inception.

He isn't a Salford fan.

I thought that one reason why Widnes won was because they played the ball more quickly than Salford. Very often Widnes players managed to stay on their feet in the tackle and thus play the ball more quickly, whereas Salford players tended to end up on the floor when they were tackled.

Personally I am concerned about the lack of pace in the side both defensively and offensivley. When teams move the ball quick and wide we are struggling.
There is no real pace or movement to our attacks at all.

Also our fitness levels are poor. Second half fade out again.

I know we are a new team and will take time to gel but that is no excuse for fitness. Also, as a new side, why didn't we play more pre-season games.

I have genuine concerns over where we will finish this season. Hopefully if we can get Chase fit again it will pep us in attack at least.

The worrying thing is persisting with Howarth -shocking player who slows everything down. How he can be preferred to Owen baffles.

Your first line mentions lack of pace both defensively and offensively - You then mention Howarth slows everything down.
In 2012,when he had lesser names around him the side did not finish with the wooden spoon.They did last year while Howarth was at Saints.Howarth cannot possibly be blamed for that.
Perhaps when the rest of the side 'up their game' Howarth will do likewise.
It is a team game and his stats are not glaringly worse - or better- than others.
For a player to go through the coaching set-up at Wigan Academy - which is praised - then be selected by 3 Super League coaches - Veivers,Brown and Noble - he must be doing something right.
The forwards do seem reluctant to take the ball up so it does limit his options.
As long as it isn't a confidence thing though,if it is I'm sure the Tw@tter comments and this forum will assist...

I do concur with the rest of the post - especially the hope of the pep in the attack - but conceding 70 points in 2 games also needs addressing.
