At last we saw the real Widnes shown on tv tonight. A shambles without their superleague loan signings to prop them up, and a massive away following of around 150.



Quick, give them a franchise.

This was a reference to Leigh's current league position and the probability that we will be visiting Blackpool and White hart lane next season , so why am I being boring ?

Great post, well done.



Half a team missing and a 2 and a half hour journey at half 7 on a Thursday. Erm......

Indeed, Please go back and read my rather belated edit old man.

We were missing four key players, not including any loan players now departed.







The star of the show last night for Barrow was Jamie Rooney. He's on loan from Wakey, mate.



HTH

On what grounds do you think the try should have been disallowed?

Indeed, the ball of the chest isnt a knock in. Only the head or the hands is it a knock on.



Mind, you think thats mad, this week the Review panel thought that it was Paul Whatuira's own fault he got spear tackled.

It is obviously in the rules but I think a rethink is needed when hands and head are a knock on but hitting the chest in the middle of these body parts (with arms out stretched ready to catch) is deemed ok.

The head was only recently changed too.



Nothing wrong with chesting the ball down to controll it imo.

I agree with that. What was he playing at? They didn't turn him over, they just lifted him and he bent himself over and almost snapped his neck on the floor. Should have been a knock on.



Clearly we were robbed

He hardly 'controlled' it though. It bounced off his chest unintentionally and threw everyone. Think the ruling needs to be looked at as that last night wasn't a 'proper' try IMO.

It happens.



Rarely, very rarely.



Hardly needs a rule change for a fluke try.
