No trying to cause a fight here but he is clearly delusional as well.
www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/17195822
"The conditions shocked us more than they shocked them.
"It got them on the front foot. Once everyone was cold, they were hanging on for dear life.
"The conditions and the wind set the tone for the game. Hull KR made a real good choice when they won the toss and played with the wind in the first half.
"We had a shocking first half and we just couldn't get going in the second half with the conditions."
If he seriously belives we were 'hanging on for dear life' then he has no clue what-so-ever.

| SkyWalker them words do not give me confidence in the man and i see on Twitter Widnes players whinging about the cold?Thought they where tough Rugby League players?Years ago they played in the winter, so no sympathy and they just making excuses up, as same for both sides.No brainer for me the coach,conditioner, and a few others need to go.I know a conditioner who would get them players fitter, and makes me laugh when see on Twitter players going Macdonalds and Nandos after them performances?

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

Absolutely
I’m afraid that Bettsy is getting desperate and talking complete bollox. The writing is on the wall for this joker and he knows it.

| Given the quality in the Widnes squad,or rather lack of,i seriously doubt whether a world class coach could do any better than Denis with this hapless set of players.
Widnes fans had unrealistic ideas about what they were going to do this season.
This is Super League. You were destined to finish bottom with such a weak team. It's silly that 'Vikings' fans thought things would be any different to what's currently happening.

He did in the Championship and has no decent track record of coaching.By the way a Top Coach gets the best out of average players and he can not do that even.We had full salary cap in the Championship and did badly and also been out of the game 6 years.May aswell put you as coach as there is no game plan or tactics.His comments are also not inspirational.

| Top coaches also attract better players.If was that good at Union defence coach Gloucester would have kept him.

| Quote: Latchford Locks "two words............
Brian Noble'"
When Wigan couldn't find a win for toffee in 2006 & relegation looked a certainty, Noble took over and we stayed up with some convincing wins and even pushed for the play offs. Admittedly we broke the spirit of the cap to sign Michael Dobson and Stuart Fielden, but ultimately he lifted morale and addressed some immediate issues to turnaround the fortunes of the club.
He then took over a Crusaders side that had just quickly drafted a team together, were thrown in the deep end (exactly like yourselves) and many tipped them to come bottom, but Nobby got them to the play offs.
Brian Noble is a man that couldn't take Wigan to the next level (champions), but he saved us from relegation and took us as far as he could - a play off team. He took a bunch of Aussies at Crusaders and got them to the play offs. He's the perfect coach for the scenario you find yourselves in.
I remember when Denis Betts was at Wigan and I never had confidence in him. Admittedly, the regime at the time were never going to give him much chance, but Kris Radlinski said in his autobiography that Denis could never really put himself across as an authoritative figure as a coach. He's very inexperienced and in the situation you find yourselves in you definitely need an experienced coach! Steve O'Connor has worked wonders at your club, but I feel he made a mistake in going for Denis Betts. I don't say that with the benefit of hindsight, I thought it at the time.
Your board must act NOW. The novelty of Super League will soon wear off with fickle supporters if their team keep getting thumped every week. Betts out and Noble in - it will change your season IMO.

| Cadoo I great post and just done a poll on the Widnes site on who should be coach.Yes some players are not good enough but a quality coach will attract players in season 2 and 3.A top coach will get them organised and well drilled even if get beat.
