Quote: Pepe "No-one thought that we'd be top 8 - NO-ONE!
But the standard of RL, from a fully pro squad, is atrocious. We are getting, not just beaten, but hammered week in week out. The two home wins are looking more and more like some strange anomaly.
Fans just wanted to see a well organised team defend well and show a bit of fight and spirit. What we have is a total shambles that is conceding record defeats.
The atmosphere, amongst the Widnes fans on Monday, was the worst I've ever known. It was like a morgue. The Bradford fans were noisy and e enjoying themselves, despite what their club is going though. We, on the other hand, are plain sick of the same old poop. People are clearly voting with their feet, as we only got a crowd of 5,600, with about 1,000 Bulls fans in attendance. If you think that is bad, and it is, wait until you see how many turn out against the Saints in the Challenge Cup game.
Betts is out of his depth and incompetent. He needs to go ASAP.'"
I hear what you are saying and having only seen a couple of your games I'm not in a position to argue with you, if your watching week in week out I respect what your saying. What I would say is that your gaffer can only play with the squad he has and on paper it looks pretty weak. I just think it will take you another couple of seasons to get competitive. When you get promoted at short notice your left to recruit from the scraps that are left and perhaps some of the squad retained from the lower level simply cannot cut it in the top flight.
