Fu k me they need to work on simple play the balls

Been terrible this second half... two awful teams.

Scruffier than Scruffy McScruffface but a win's a win.

Julien's done more in one night, than all of our second rowers have done all season.

Well done to Ratchford and Philbin, too.

P.S. My next door neighbour's 50odd year old wife is more of a rugby player than Evans. A walking Frank Spencer.

Good goal-line defence, made plenty of yards, still clueless near the line and can't make a break to save our lives

Two points though

bobbins of a game..we were the better team,,,just..be glad when kev penny is back..philbin had a good game as did ratchford..nuff said

We were poor second half but played lots of the game with livett and philbin as the only interchanges. Philbin had a wow of a game. Best I've ever seen him play.

If he doesn't keep his place after that it would be a travesty but given the injuries tonight I think it's in no doubt.

If we could get one or both of westerman & Clark back for Monday that would be a boost. Cooper too if possible.

Got to say that Philbin had another good game tonight as did Livett, but, my pick for our MOM would be Lineham he went looking for and got through plenty of work. Seems to have turned it around

Agree about Lineham. Thought he did well last week too.

Also thought George King got through a tonne of work...... in a fully fit team I'd have him above Hughes at the moment.

Jullien, Gidley (especially at 9), and Ratchford were all excellent. I would have given Jullien the MOM.

a Mate pointed out last night that Hughes has been a lot better this last two games, it may have something to do with him playing his natural grafter game again, and we're not asking him to be Ben currie.

That pass to ratch that hull scored from was the currie ratch special move, we've been trying get him to be a ball player. Obviously it's had an overall detrimental effect.

As has been mentioned, big pat on the back for George, he cops done stick on here as he's not James graham, I think he's coming along nicely though.
Good game again from Joe, seems to be working his balls off at the moment, despite being a foot shorter than everyone else.

Thought Chris Houston of Widnes gave a penalty away everytime he was involved with game. The incident with Bentham was a strange one.

I still can't get over the JFK moment when Sims broke a tackle, worth the admission fee alone. I think there is a good opportunity now to start giving the youngsters more SL time even with a fully fit first team squad. We could afford to rest a few senior players & we might see that the first team squad is not necessarily our best squad.
The defence held out well ,but our ability to score was poor especially in the second half but, on the other hand, Widnes wanted to win just as much as us.

We put the ball down 6 times on tackle one or two. As a result getting in widnes' half was hard enough in the 2nd half hence limited scoring opportunity.

Yes it's amazing how a player can impress when trying to gain a contract extension or put themselves in a shop
Window.
We seem to give some of our players a comfort zone with long contracts.
