Yes, but we had Powell as head coach for most of last season.

The result was entirely predictible. There is little else to be said.

To say I was "Pee'd Off" after yesterdays game is the understatement of the year.
I definately saw us play worse than that last season (Salford & Hull away) spring to mind.
After seeing the team play in their pre-season friendlies, I was impressed with their style of play & they actually seemed to have hit the ground running for a change, very few dropped passes & good backing up of the player with the ball & I was really looking forward to the Widnes game.
So what happened yesterday ?
Numerous dropped ball, lack of defence & cluless when they got the 5th tackle for a large part of the game, with just a high kick to the corners, which did not work.
The thing that hacks me off more than anything else is that the Players have let the fans down big time & don't seem to realise how damaging yesterdays result is in the bigger picture of our season.
Losing our first Home game has lost us any fans who had decided to give us a second chance this year & everybody feels totally let down by their lack of passion in trying to win this game.
Not looking forward to going to Huddersfield now !!!

Quite impressed with Widnes. They made the best use of their resources and did not panic when we applied a little pressure. Think they could do a Wakey this season when they get their big names back.

Winterstein is already a big name.

Widnes had an effective game plan and knew how to exploit our weaknesses. They looked well organised and up for it, whereas we didn't.
