Great show from Widnes. the biggest improvement on last year for me is your goal line defence. How many ex Wigan players do you have in your squad?

Yes we have improved a lot from last year.We can rest and rotate players more now.We have Marsh,Mellor,Hock,brown,and Allen played years ago as ex Wigan.Can't really count Ben Cross.

I think most teams have got an ex wigan contingent haven't they? Particularly round here. They've got one of the best academies in the country but frequently let go of good players.

i think the most noticable improvement is the togetherness. working as a team. also more patience and as i mentioned last year the right combination of half backs an improviser and an organiser. looked impressive last night

Cracking win for your lads. Well done.

Still got a big smile on my face!





The atmosphere was great inside the ground last night. Chuffed to bits with a really good performance and lots of heart from the lads. I'm not getting too carried away, but the signs are there that we'll give most teams a good game at home and we've improved massively since last season.

Briscoe
Marsh
Phelps
Mellor
Brown
Cross
Clarke
Hock
Allen

All good additions to the squad. Any news on Brown?

Superb comments would include a much improved defence but you can clearly see the squad going in the right direction and your improving year on year. The additions of Brown and Hock are real bonuses and they made a huge difference when the scores where close in the second half. Hock's offload was immense late in the game, just wish he was more disciplined.

Missed out Phelps,Briscoe,and Clarke.But did not realise Clarke played for Wigan.

All decent players, so not complaining to be honest.Not sure on Brown, as not really had a decent run out this season.Fingers crossed it is not too bad mate.

Be good to have a competitive Widnes v Warrington games again, and a real derby.

you have 12 x wigan players but its no big deal.

Alot of players like Ben Davies and Kavanagh have hardly played first team rugby for Wigan.
