Mud sticks... be careful where you throw it!:disney/00049.gif



Quote: Bruce_Forsyth "Quite simply it is the worst in the top flight I've ever seen. Over 200 hundred points conceded more than any other club!!!

AND it's only the halfway stage ffs.

When Widnes were finally granted a SL licence I said it was at least 3 years too early and they would be an embarrassment in it,and I was correct it looks.

The criticism of Betts is out of order, he's a good coach and good man doing his best,you're not exactly going to attract a top class boss you arrogantly think can get with that team.

It really is debateable whether your SL licence should be revoked.

I knew all along that soundbites from Widnes fans last year about 'getting into the play-offs in 2012' would be well wide of the mark.'"


I don't post very often but am a bit hungry so had to have a little nibble... I hope your comments are what you have seen and not just based on stats.

The team have had some ups and down. "Half way through the seasing *ffs"..? I say, exactly I don't know any Widnes supporters who said we would storm in and take a play off spot. DO NOT call any team who starts off in this position an embarrasement, if you are a true rugby league fan and understand the system? We could debate on the whole who deserves what, who has been bailed out, who has been supported, if I knew what team you support, but I am not going to traw through posts to decide.

I agree Betts is probably a lesser worry than Cullen, but I don't see where your statement of arrogance is placed, or whom it is aimed at. How can you revoke a licence based on half a season? Or do you know more than you are letting on?

For my ten penneth, ok its not pretty, its not the position we were in when we first graced superleague, but we are starting a new challenge and each and every player will play their part.

Roll on "every dog must have its day".

Love

Back the bid - not back it until the going gets tough. WTID:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40663.png



Thats what worries me to be fair, although Brown is a class player, bringing in players like him and Matty Smith wont have an affect on our defence. We need a defensive coach who will get us organised and knows what hes on about instead of shying away and making excuses sometimes. Not being funny but from the Huddersfield game, 13/14 games ago, the defence has not got any better.
We've had 76, 66, 62, 58 and 68 points put passed us by a number of teams. Not good enough and change is needed if you realisticly look at it.

Try 8th.

I was bang on when I said on this very board when they got a SL licence that they wasn't good enough and shouldn't be let in.

The only feesable argument Widnes fans could put forward regarding getting in Super League was that they have a good ground and won the World Club Championship way back in 1989.

8th? Try again oh smart one!

Off the top of my head, the lowest we've finished in the Championship recently was 6th back in 2008. We also had a 9-point deduction due to administration that year.

Keep trying Brucey, you'll get one someday!

Brucey is just a Troll who just wants Widnes to fail and hates us for some reason.He is the Gobe at the games who needs a good wack over the head.
