| I worry for widnes this year. The club looks woefully under-prepared for SL and I can't understand why. You had the extra time and money to put a competitive coaching and playing roster together and have failed.
Yet Wakefield (not my team by the way) have managed to put a good team and a proven coaching set up together in a matter of weeks which, in my opinion is vastly superior to that of widnes.
What's gone wrong?

| Lets look and the positives
[delAt least you wasn't playing at home[/del
[delAt least it was a champion team that hadn't lost all their previous matches[/del
[delAt least you're not bottom of the league[/del
It's the most points you scored in Super league since your return
Phew, struggled then

At full strength they have a decent looking side but have lost a few for various reasons, its tough on them and they have had a fairly easy start, well 2 from the first 3.
Its too early to right them off and hopefully they can get up to speed and win a few.

| You caught Salford playing 40 mins of mistake free rugby - that doesnt happy often.
In the 2nd half when you threw caution to the wind you looked dangerous. Great build up to the game, and good fan base, stick with it, as i enjoy an awayday at Widnes.

| Salford? They are rank.
It seems the wooden spoon has already been secured by the 'Vikings'.
And it's only February.
I would suggest the pre-season talk of making the play-offs has now ceased,yeah?

| I'm forced to agree with the cuffster. I know its early days but we are much the same as last season in terms of overrall attitude and approach. It has to be coaching. There is no leader, there is no organisation. We looked good in the final 20 because Salford ran out of petrol and had a 30 point lead to sit on. I will say that I think ah van was a warrior again today, as he was against wakey, he ripped Salford up at times in the second half. White is dead weight, Isa is just a complete liability and winterstein seemed to vanish today. Its not being beaten, im prepared for that, its the down right shameful way the team has gone about it

| Ah Van had a good game again it is the rest of the team.Winterstein is not fit enough and a few other players.Clarke one of the older players was fitter than some mid twenty players which is wrong.Craven postioned himself well today but I rather have him at standoff than that crap Lloyd White.

| The defence in the 1st half was appalling,at least they put a bit more effort in 2nd half.
To be honest before the season started I thought we would be in for a few tonkings but when it becomes a reality it doesn't help. I agree Ah Van is doing his best and showed great determination for his second half try.

I agree with the first part of your statement, we're very unprepared and have had excuses at the ready from the start (which was telling).
However You make no sense whatsoever with the second point. Betts has never coached in Super League ever so how can he have been "away"?

An extremely good summary of how I feel right now. The excuses were made as soon as we got the nod.
What went wrong? Possibly Agar>Betts + Veivers>Betts = 2 defeats by better organised sides. I ain't saying sack the guy but we should certainly review his position after the season.

He coached wigan? I didn't mean as a head coach soley I meant away from rugby league in general, (when involved with RU) and not watched the progression of the game since he was last involved with a SL club, against Wakefield you looked clueless with ball in hand, and by the sounds of it you were well out your depth against hudds.
Now having 6 tries shipped in in the first half against a team considered on par with you is very very worrying, salford look like they sat on the lead second half knowing the game was already won.
