Aside from any tiredness issues on our part, I thought Fev were very good. Their defence was outstanding in the first half, we were camped in their 20 for considerable periods and only came up with one try. Had they had as much ball and territory as us in the first half then the game would have been all over. We couldnt bully them up front, their number 6 was excellent and they were quicker out wide, offloaded well and supported well.
Our tiredness must have come into it as I would have expected them to win by far more than 1 point at Widnes based on last night's performance.
The good thing is that this reality check gives Basil the opportunity to take us even further
