I'm fed up feeling negative and down about Widnes. Ever since we've gone down from SL its been 5/6 years of ifs/but/maybes and mainly maybe nots. We lost 2 grind finals and suffered administration trying to get to SL. We're finally there and i'm not going to let this decision get me down. It may be the wrong decision who knows but we're stuck with it and the sooner people realise this the easier we can move on.

I'd be letting SL take care of itself , there is this season to be played for yet , and although you haven't made the most comfortable of starts , with Fax and to a lesser degree Barrow struggling , and yes Leigh and Fev at the moment looking good , a 3 rd place finish is well on the cards , requiring only one good away performance to be in a GF , where as we know anything can happen

I think thats why people are about peed off with todays announcement, the way we have been playing this year. However not even God as coach and kitman Moses could coachRoparti to a try



Maybe this will give Dennis the push he needs to get the ball rolling in the right direction.

One benefit is he is young and could easily be here for a good few years if goes well... Only really Wigan job could sway him I guess. Whereas likes of Michael Maguire will jump back NRL once chance arises. I think 'stop gap til England job' was purely speculative based on him applying for that role (and tbh could do both anyway if we got to that stage).

At least we know where we are now as do the current players so everyone at the club knows which direction we are going in and we are in this together now!

Shambles once again. The bloke is totally out of his depth. Ever get the feeling you have been cheated.

Hasn't Tangi scored 2 in 2

No. No matter how much money and effort we put in it won't come close to that of SO'C and he has made this choice with the rest of the board.

Wrong decision. Rubbish. Complete let down.

Nothing I've seen from Betts in either his time at Wigan or Widnes has given me confidence in his abilities as a coach.

His poor and at times weak decision making, his demeanour in the stands, his handling of the media as well as his inability to battle back against adversity point to this being at best a huge gamble from Widnes.

I will always remember his last interview at Wigan after a defeat against Huddersfield as possibly the most embarrassing one I've seen from a Wigan coach. Shoulders slumped and acting like a 5 year old child, the interview pretty much went along the lines of 'We're crap, I don't know what to do, so we're screwed.'

You needed a strong and experienced leader at a time of great transition for your club. Noble would have been perfect. Betts is probably the exact opposite of that.

It's only 4 quid a week, if you need to think about it go and "support" someone else

After receiving the great news fron Steve O'Connor Denis rushed home, turned on his computer and logged on to the Widnes forum to read the good luck messages ...........................
