All games are winnable, whats hard to understand about that.
Wakefield turn over a  big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same. |

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

I think so long as the team is competitive then Betts won't get the sack no matter where the team end up. For me it was always going to be between Salford and Widnes for bottom spot, but that does not mean you can't win you're fair share of games.
In the end the leap up to SL is massive hence the licence system to allow teams to take their oppertunities in year 2 and 3 when they can get fair dibs on the players available. Did not see your opening game but spoke to family member who did. They were under the impression that Widnes gave their all in the opening 40, but Wakefield where able too ride the onslaught and just had too much in the final 3rd.
Wakefield are almost a new side and as such are going to be hard to predict.

Well said, you make many fair points and for me its spot on.
Widnes will struggle all this season but will improve along the way, best of luck.
Wakey won 10 games first time out in SL and i hope Widnes can do the same. |

Not doing so well ? Think my prediction of 4 points might have been a bit optimistic perhaps you could be the first team to get No points in a SL season !

| Quote: Bruce_Forsyth "It's utterly delusional for Widnes fans to start talking about get a play off place etc.
With their surrent squad, if they don't finish bottom this season they should have an open top bus parade around the town.
Play off place? One step at a time,'Vikings' fans.'"
No one is/was talking about a play off place. The thread was started by a non-Widnes fan and no one agreed. |

| I think Widnes could finish 10-12th going on what I've seen so far on teams performances, Especially if you perform like you did against Wigan, I don't care if they left players out they still had a lot of Quality on the pitch.
Although i don't want you to win this sunday  |

I can't see their being too much difference throughout the season between all the sides currently on 2 points tbh. Hopefully we could top that 'group'.

I still think we will finish bottom, we will be lucky to get another 3 wins this season. Unless of course we get a decent coach.

i would want them to do well but i don't think your team is up to scratch... though you beat Wigan it was only just their weakened team still ripped through your defense...
