Well done to the lads. Still mean in defence we showed glimpses of what we might achieve in attack if the rate of progress of the team continues. Granted Widnes are odds on to finish bottom and rightly nobody is getting carried away but the direction is good and there's plenty of further improvement.

Massive praise for Mr Tickle, Houghton and Andy Lynch and mention to Brett Seymour who had his best game with ball in hand so far for me. Defensively he must be one of the best halves in the competition to boot.

Turner had a decent game, always impressive with ball in hand. He did shoot of the line for one of the tries although Briscoe was also caught out. Being picky he also blew a try with the first play of the game when he cut inside instead of drawing the fullback and passing to Briscoe.

The best thing for me was how aggressive our defence is, especially big Sam. We are trying to win every collision and showing a bit of a nasty streak.
There was one tackle were the widnes player got hit by both Moa and Manu! Not the sort of sandwhich i'd enjoy

I agree he had a decent game, but as I said in my initial post I think it’s always difficult to adequately appraise players in games like that. We were so easily on the front foot that for most of the game you only see half of a player’s game. With Turner that meant you didn’t see much of his one area of concern, and in the only spell where you did he was caught out twice (not alone on the 2nd occasion though, both he and Briscoe were at fault IMO).

So I’m not saying he played poorly, simply that he still didn’t do anything to convince me he can be a first choice centre for us if we want to be top 4.

Lynch will turn out to be a better signing than Fitzgibbon.I know 2 completely different positions but Lynch just seems to be more better with ball in hand.

I`m with you.

Peter Gentle will be FURIOUS! He should have got the message out in the second stanza.When the tank is empty you should go for the one pointer to eat up the clock.It should be up the jumper time,and keep your eye out for the opposition coming up on the blind side.Any youngsters watching out there you do not put the cue on the rack until 80 minutes.Without a doubt you will get through.Its as simple as that.
