I'm sure the Widnes fans would agree that it was only a relativley slow start that ultimately cost them last season. I would expect this season to be an entirely different Widnes side on the pitch. But we shall see.

Not really, i did not like the way some faxfans shouting and mouthing scouse gits, when i went fax last year. To be honest i dont like fax but hey that is the same as man utd disliking liverpool.I know a fax fan and he is a decent guy.I see this forum as banter and fun and getting a reaction is making me laugh.It all about opinions and if a fax fan thinks we will come 8th, that is his opinion. I do not think fax are much stronger to be honest, but i admit will be in the top 3.I am relaxed and all banter and i will give more stick throughout the season. May the best team win and even though dislike fax i wish your team all the best.

Just joking with you. I don't hate Fax or really any club in this division.

Why bother checking facts. Its never stopped you from posting.

Are we to suppose the players you mentioned commanded similar wages to that of Gene and Aizue etc.

Never let facts get in the way of a good story.
