| Quote Dave Lister="Dave Lister"Brilliant post. Doesn't bother posting anything for weeks regarding his opinon on the game yet manages to logon when the side that he can't be bothered following pick the win even though he has no idea what happened
Fair play to all your fans who made it down today, they are a credit to your club and I enjoyed chatting to plenty of them.'"
You were a non entity 10 years ago and you're a non entity now. I follow my team in person not just on a poxy messageboard and certainly don't answer to the likes of you on the matter.

| Quote Rob from Erith="Rob from Erith"To be honest I think Hurst looked OK with ball in hand, and looked to have some pace. Lovell had a shocker though, especially 2nd half - he had 2 chances to let O'Callaghan go one on one with his marker out wide and chose to go inside to allow Widnes a simple tackle to stop him and then dropping the ball when a try seemed certain! Suppose he won't play any worse surely?'"
Why are people picking on Lovell? The guy clearly isn't a centre, he is a second rower, he didn't have the confidence to pass the ball. Saying he had a shocker is completely wrong, he made a lot of yards in contact from being in the centre position.

| I'm personally offended by how bad that performance was.
If I hear one more person say "oh well it's only round 1" I'll scream. The fact that its round 1 does not excuse the fact that we've squandered two points at home to Widnes.
I can't even begin to describe how awful that was. Lovell, Kaufusi, Howell particularly wretched. After Gower went off we looked even more clueless, which I didn't think was possible after the first 40 minutes. Terrible atmosphere. Whose ideas was it to let Widnes fans sit on the east stand halfway line? Apparently we had a good pre-season, though I couldn't see any trace of it here. This idea that Widnes were awful - utter codswallop. They completed their sets and accomplished the basics, and made very few errors. We barely completed a set, knock-ons aplenty. Embarrassing. Humiliating.
Absolute rubbish from beginning to end. It feels like its going to be a long season.

He should take up Union then. They appreciate shoving the ball up your jumper.

exactly
Quote Rob from Erith="willow6666"We could have done with the Widnes 23, Phil Joseph. Excellent'"
agreed, he stood out for me as well, clearly badly wanted the win for his team

| Disgusting display.
Only highlight were the garish Widnes jerseys.
I blame it all on Gus, no excuses...

| Thats it chaps lets accept a missed simple one on one tackle. Its only 4 points. After all it is Dorn- he is our fast runner not tackler.
What other inadequate aspects of the game are you going to accept
Were you happy with Witts missed tackles? Probably not because he isnt a fast runner he is a kicker!!
Do you not think teams target certain players. Left side of defence (centre) being one, Witt the other, hence why TR changed them 2 spots around

About sums up my feelings - just about everything wrong. Atmosphere was awful (possibly our fault we did little shouting, though not much to shout about.
i went to Perpignan and the team played well and i was feeling very positive........... Problem lays with the forwards, we dont create a base at all - Widnes may be limited but they stuck to an effective game plan, made hardly any mistakes wehereas we - penalties were atrocious (and they had Roby in Perpignan so they knew he would be hot on laying on), handling errors etc etc. Lovell isnt a centre and shouldnt be there - but Channing is too small, JO'C seems to be going backwards.
dorn and Dixon only ones who can really hold their heads up - Bryant, Rodney, Bailey did OK. Chad's article in the programme interesting and seemed to suggest that mentally on match day last year team were not right - well that certainly happened this game!
Fear the worst for next week?
