Ironic when you then do this
**********************************************
Quote: Pie Eyed "The flight was NOT cancelled without them being aware that it was going to happen.
They KNEW thatall UK airports were closed for 2 or 3 days BEFORE their flight.
That is PLENTY of time to arrange alternative travel (such as a coach, leaving late Friday evening).
I'm sure that the RFL would have delayed their match for a few hours (like Toulouse) had they asked up front.
This is a simple REFUSAL to play, and should be treated as such.
Now, if you want to argue yourself blue in the face, in defence of a team that simply couldn't be ârsed, then go right ahead.
I for one will NOT be dragged in to a petty "Whelan thread mk2"'"
Yes, they may have known about the airports, and they may have been able to make alternative arrangements if their circumstances allowed. IF NOT, THEY WERE LEFT WITH LITTLE OPTION TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FLY ON SATURDAY. If the RFL were in the loop - which they were - I really dont see why youre getting all worked up into a hissy fit.
Well, someone needs to point out, the totally ridicilous nature of your point. They refused to play because Pie Eyed says so. Not the RFL or Widnes, but a RLFans poster. Well, im sorry. How could I have been so silly but to take a global enviromental situation and the RFL/Widnes at face value over you? My apologies.
One last question - Do you not like the French? |

| Quote: Bilko "Well they would have only known that Saturday morning flights were cancelled on Friday afternoon. At that time no one knew how long the delay would be. The key point is the other three sides were flying out before the match day, so had time to re-organise. Lezignan didn't as has been stated on GMR during the phone in.'"
Don't cloud the issue with yet more facts  |

Huddersfield v Warrington
For BBC I think, good draw for us Hudds v Wire should be a great game though.'"
I fancy this game to be on the BBC, along with Hudds and Wire.
I mean come on, what would you rather watch?
2 teams with about 30 supporters between them playing at a crap ground with no atmosphere, and two fairly poor teams. Constant penalties with Catalans discipline and Nobles boring rugby style of play.
OR
A local derby with plently of supporters to fill the stadium to create an electirc atmosphere. A widnes side that will be in 5th gear from the word go, against a super league topping side that will no doubt show some quality rugby league. Chance of an upset - Chance of a bit spice - Chance of a classic.
This is all according to Widnes beating the Lez's. |

If we go through against the French how many will you bring to Widnes?If on tv i am sure you wont bring many.We have alot of injuries at the moment, so i am worried we will get stuffed.Let us borrow davies and farrell. |

With a full squad I'd fancy us to give you a decent game. Not win, mind, there is too much of a gulf and your team is one of the best going at the moment but at least put on a decent showing.
However we will not be able to put out a full squad this season, we've got one of the worst injury crises I've ever seen us go through. We're likely to have a severely depleted squad on its bare bones, so it should be a walkover unfortunately. Still, I'm sure your fans will be made welcome and our young players will be given a decent run out against the mighty wigan so that should be a great experience for them. Hope you all make the journey. Always enjoyed our games and with any luck we'll hopefully be seeing more of each other in coming seasons.

Not really and I'm sure you'd rather we were knocked out before you drew us?

| Being honest I'd be quite happy to go through the whole comp playing only National League sides. A Wigan Vs Batley final sounds great to me.  |
