Young Charnley will be having nightmares this week at the thought of facing the Widnes juggernaut.

| Its no bigger test than Bradford or Castleford were. Just put in the same professional performance and we'll be far too good for them.

| Wigan will give Widnes a 60+ rinsing. Devastating team in the opponents half Wigan. Great to watch.

Is there anyone but me that wants Betts to succeed at Widnes? (Obviously not at the expense of us this weekend). I seriously hope that regardless of how Widnes fare for the rest of the season I hope they stick with him and build on what they have for next season.
At the end of the day they were promoted to SL and then assembled together with a squad of players where the majority were 'surplus to requirements', what more did they expect other than a couple of wins over the season? (which I still think they will manage).

I know what you mean but do players really need a rest after 4 games?

I don't see how you can say that, he hasn't performed yet and whether he plays well or not will make very little difference. His influence from out on the wing will be minimal, Wigan by at least 40 for me.

I think the OP was being sarcastic.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| I hope Betts gets the team to come good a week from now, he was a good coach for us, a little inexperienced, and we really didn't bring someone in who would help him along in that department (Millward).
Widnes should have more faith, Betts is not the one falling off tackles, giving soft penalties, the players are professional and are paid to do a job, which they are not doing, but they are a new team and time will only improve them.

| i think personally we have to be very wary about playin widnes, i know they've not done so well so far but they have quite a few ex wigan players playin for them, cross, davies, briscoe, clarke, allen, plus marsh (dont know if he's eligible or nor not). that always contributes to a good game cos players will always give an extra 10% against their home town team or ex team. e.g huddersfield with the likes of brown, robinson, wild. always played well against us.

No I'm right with you. I hope Betts succeeds for many reasons, but mostly because... he's BETTS... but also, well, it could get pretty embarrassing for SL if they start letting 70+ past them, which I could see happening with your Wigans, Wires and Saints.
