Yep thats them sit opposite us and really are a pain . The idiot was really hurling some abuse at Briscoe and thought he was funny !!

Main highlight for me yesterday was Wade McKinnon, the man is so classy in attack and calm in defence.
I particularly noticed him talking to Manu in back play and pointing to an area of the opposition - next play the ball Manu breezed through to score there.

For me once the game got under way with the first break by Turner things looked like they could well be hard for Widnes.

I was happy with the fact the team for once actually put a score on a team we were expected to beat comfortably where as in the past we would have struggled and flattered to deceive.
I would have prefered to seen them continue for the full 80 but after the stoppage for Briscoe the game was more than way out of sight for Widnes so inevitably the foot came off the gas. Then once the chance of nilling them had gone we slipped a little further off the pedal.

Had we been playing a game against a stronger team and the score line been closer I doubt very much they would have dropped the intensity or took the foot off the gas, so no worries there.

There's the rub. The fact we were in a position where it did not cost us doesn't make the fact that we switched off acceptable. Yes, I understand why, and we definitely did give them a hammering, but it's still something I'd like to see us eradicate.

Even Gentle picked up on that point and said he would be looking at working on that. He sounded more disappointed on that fact than he seemed to let on in the interview too and he said still work to do.

It shows we were slaughtering them but then let up and didn't finish the job. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the result and the points we put on the board, but I was disappointed that we put the cue on the rack (sorry for the Stevoism) and didn't put 70/80 on them. I was pleased we tried a few things, even if they didn't come off, but we could have nilled them and had an even bigger positive points difference.

We got the 2 points, so I'm happy, but as the title says, we did get a bit sloppy in the last 10.

Karen is prob right though. Against a better team we may not decide to go training after 65 mins.

Only probably?? I am a woman after all!!





I personally think we were in training mode very early on. Pretty much once we knew they weren't going to put up much of a fight, hence the more open attack which showed we were trying things that in the last few games we have been nervous to do.

Exactly. If we were playing a top team we wouldn't have been in a 58+ scoreline to allow us to drop off the pace.

The lads got feed up of scoring

Dont think its been mentioned yet but we only had 1 fit sub left in the 2nd half, players were bound to get tired hence another reason for getting a bit sloppy towards the end

all i can say was job done that's what we needed to do another game and another notch up in confidence.
