Barrow have won with a try in the last minute.20-18.

Thought Hall looked decent to be honest. His only downside was that it looked like him and Penny had been playing together for about 5 mins which is 5 mins more than they have been playing together! I think they will be potent when they develop a little more of an understanding. Hall did create at least two breaks for Penny but he just misread them. Looks good for a week or two down the line.

Lowes? Gleeson? Reardon? Scoopy the Guardian cat?

No. Thingy. You know. Wotsisname....................

He lost 7 from his first 14 in charge of his new club. Sorry, his name escapes me

At times we looked organized and play as such! Thought we looked a lot better following the 4 subs! Forwards doing more of the work and delighted to see Gaskell proving to be a handful still. Toa proved his class with a fairly easy hat-trick.
Thacks and Webster moving play around at times but all of this in fairly short spells.
On the downside I'm not confident with Dodd at fb. He never looked like wanting to take a catch on the full. Tremendous try saving tackle though were he put the player in touch.
The defence as a whole has to be our main worry. It was atrocious at times tonight.
Also why don't we back Penny's pace. How much field did he have at times tonight to chase a kick.
Overall a disappointing night. Things need to and hopefully should get better.

This is how I saw it:

Pee poor atmosphere there tonight and the final winning margin flattered Widnes somewhat.

For sixty minutes York were well in with a chance but superior fitness showed plus the fact that Lord Lucan AKA TKL decided to pull on a jersey and then play to score a high quality hat-trick.

Craig Hall is a handy signing at this level.

Widnes look at their most dangerous when Smith takes flight from dummy half and I thought he had a pretty good game tonight. Gannon went well and boy were Widnes glad to have Gaskell in. His dummy half runs killed York at times.

Varkulis went on at 2nd row and looked far more useful while Pickersgill I thought went really well, particularly in his first spell on the field.

York had good performers themselves in fullback Ratcliffe, the March brothers, Mark Applegarth and Chris Clough - those two used late footwork to good effect with applegarth able to hit and spin and get the offload away. Paul Hughes at hooker was the revelation in the game until around an hour in when the York challenge began to fade, but its the second time i've seen them this season and they are of very similar quality to the bottom 4 sides in our competition and deserve credit for the way they try and play.

is that the one who has given his team the best start to a season ever??

did you lot ever repay the money to the fans of other clubs who gave to your save the club fund, only to watch you go out and sign a raft of players the week after...........typical yorkshire conmen.
