Like yours littlerich?

Sorry i had to, gutted and that put a smile on my face.
Wonder how we'll now do in the play offs...if we get there

Like ours? Pfffft. No chance. Super League isn't in our sights, not even with a Hubble telescope.

nothing bad about the tackle on coyle, it was a stray finger that poked him in the eye,,

thought Hicks was ok, Consistent at least

After the Gerrard try it seemed Widnes minds were on lifting the trophy and not seeing out the last 15 mins

Credit to Batley they never gave in and showed why West Yorkshire is the home of RL!

Well I watched it unbiased and I thought the refs bad decisions evened out.

Was very impressedwith one of your props (Ben Davies ?) and Thackery first half where did Thackery go after HT ?

I know you are gutted I always am when my team loses. Ah well if it is any consolation I lost a couple of quid at the bookies.

See you Sunday.

We threw the game away ourselves. We have no excuse; the ref included. Loose carries and knock-ons killed us. Batley fought until the end – God bless ‘em!

Personally I thought Smith should have stayed on when we were bossing the game in the early part of the second half. After he went off we went to pieces. But Batley deserved their win, they played the smarter. Regardless of the result, I'm positive today was a good one for our SL prospects...

I hope your team feels this way too VM, from a purely selfish point of view.

I must say I enjoyed the game today but everyone is right way too many spilled passes and dropped possession. Some of that credit has to go to Batley for the way they tackled and stifled Widnes. They did the same to Leigh in the semi. I expected more of Widnes to be honest.

It's hard losing in a final but at least you got there eh?... chins up and let the banter begin for next week.

I couldn't understand that either. Smith was scaring the heebeegeebies out of Batley with his runs from dummy half and he has to do this more because that was more like the old Mark Smith rather than the passer that I have been seeing over the last couple of seasons.

Handforth is the best halfback in our competitions. He is one smart cookie and can run a game while Gareth Moore isn't bad either.

I was embarrassed when it was announced that Thackeray got the Man-of-the-Match. I thought Handforth and Johnny Campbell were really good for Batley while as my fellow Leyther Frank mentioned Ben Davies was your best.

Not Bazza, Tezza, William and Eddie, they were totally gutted, in fact Tezza sounded like he may need some sort of help after the game. He could hardly speak. Eddies comment at HT about is this as good as it gets for Batley was a classic, like Batley had played their cup final and it was all down hill from here against the `mighty` Vikings.
Good game though, it had everything and the best team won. The neutrals will be happy.

Aye but tbf Tezza is a Widnes lad and works for the club... maybe not the best idea to have him on the show afterwards really! Could see him with hands on head in SKY box after there last score... I think they stayed on for the rest of the game too!
