LIVING THE DREAM ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPER LEAGUE PLAY-OFFS! ''All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them'':Black Backgrounds/Miss%20Piggy.gif



Dear old Bill Arthur,

''Well Terry/Barrie Widnes have been missing players such as Craig Hall, Kevin Penny and Steve Pickersgill tonight''

NO THEY HAVE NOT BILL THEY WHERE ONLY EVER ON LOAN TO ENSURE A GOLDEN TICK THEN NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN.

The loan system in this league is a complete joke! Without those loan players Ive no doubt Widnes would be with us now!

Im glad you picked that one up ! That side Widnes had out last night was their 'true' side baring the odd absentee. They can't bleat on about injuries as we were told 'sh*t happens' after loosing the NRC Final with a depleted squad. Anyway Widnes have their golden ticket and as they say, the rest is history. I wonder who will get the golden ticket at the end of the season ?

Why criticise Widnes? I'd rather be in their position than ours. We should have done the same as them instead of sticking our heads in the sand.

Agreed, too much finger pointing at other clubs on this forum. If its not Tolouse, then its Widnes, if its not Barrow then its Fax. We are in the $hit we are in, simply because of ourselves....no-one elses fault, just ours.

Agreed.

One thing this does highlight, is the risk/disadvantage of taking players on loan. Hall, Penny and Pickersgill all seem to have contributed significantly to Widnes' upturn in fortunes. Then what happens? Widnes get them fit, get their confidence back, and bingo - SL club wants them back!

This will also be a real problem of 'dual-registration', unless some safeguards are introduced, in favour of the Championship clubs

As mentioned above.. there is no doubting that Hall and Pickergil had something of an impact but the real reason for our last two losses lies with the injuries of our two key forwards, Morrison and Fletcher. Duffy's absence does not allow for rotation at hooker and Koe-Love has been...... well absolute class again this year
If we had those players fit and playing last night we would have won.. even without the loan players mentioned above. icon_smile.gif

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg
