Well that was a knife edge of a game. I felt Silverwood didnt have a bad game today either.

Greenwood and Royston ran very well. Cherryholme, Wrench and Wilson did some really good runs and tackles. Worrency looked a sleep some times but seemed to be there at the right time!

I didnt go but sounded a good game on the radio, Wildbore's try that wasnt given sounded a little harsh but hey ho we are progressing under Cullen and we will do you down at the Stobarts.



What was the Widnes following like?

Filled mostly the middle two sections of the north stand with others spread out. At a guess 500 or so.

I reckon between 700 - 800, well done.

For the record, I thought Silverwood was inconsistent with his 25 mts re-starts, but looked a class above the normal rubbish we have to suffer.

Nah, 500 tops! I was down that end first half and had a good look myself. They were spread out so it looked bigger from the South Stand End. Good turnout though!

They said on the radio that he wasnt back in position so wouldnt allow Halifax to start the taps quickly. Wildbores try sounded as if it should have stood and one unlucky bounce of the ball over Gavin Dodds head i think and we could have won it.

Silverwood wasn't too bad, but should have put those Spear Tackles on report.

As for the game, Played well, the Barrow and (this) Widnes game have really tested our character as we've gone behind yet come back to win.

that really p1ssed me off, why did he call back Usain? double standards. Also, the tj's missed some blatant forward passes, for both sides & god knows how they came up with knock ons etc from ball steals that go backwards????

It was the best try of the night, couldn't tell if it was forward from behind the sticks. As for unlucky bounces royston just failed to gather the ball over your line from a kick so that swings and roundabout.

You missed a quality game, the bbc will stuggle to match that this weekend.

the restarts were a farce,especially the quickie he allowed them take whilst his back was to play towards the end.
despite that he wasn't the worst we've had and kept reasonable order in a game that was very evenly contested
Thought Thackeray was the only real threat in open play and was always willing to take on the line whereas Webster's only real contribution was his kicking game which tonoight wasn't very impressive

I thought Webster was poor tonight,

Few years ago we used to say Black couldn't outplay Webster, He definatley can now, That one on one tackle was a minter.

Agree Thackeray was their best player. Do you think Websters hearts in it? If he's travelling over form Hull everyday it can't be easy.

If you can't be ar'ed going why don't you save your comments for an audience that's interested in hearing them

Not sure how much Webster likes it at Widnes... The fact he hasn't moved over there says a lot, however his Wife (who worked for Hull KR, may still do) recently had a baby and probably doesnt fancy relocating.

No Doubt i'll now get told by VikingMan how much Webster loves it there...

And who the **** are you?

thoughts on tonights game

fantastic result



Silverwood, gave soooooo many penalty's against us, the 25m restart, coz he was not ready! ok its in the rules, but then he let widnes do it in the dying seconds! very poor!



what was the penalty count? were we really that bad!

a pleasure to watch the game tonight, well done all plyers coaches and fans concerned

Widens looked far better drilled in the tackle, nearly ever time they tunred fax palayers on their backs, slowed us down a lot, we harley ever managed to do this! the dif in full time training me thinks

How good is our defence1 awsome thats how good

How good is our will and disire, tip top thats how good

and how good were the fax fans tonight - tremendous...

A good game, yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

You had a drink mate?

and i can't do quotes but then again i don't give a ......

I've never heard a Dull's fan shout for Fax as much as I did tonight. He seemed to be enjoying himself even though he lost his bet.

You're welcome back, might be in the North Stand next visit though, eh?

thought Widnes again looked to have no idea in attack. Constantly turned the ball inside (the Dean Lawford move!) & a high kick to the corner were about the only threat they had. CAant remember them putrting the ball through their hands once (but I'll accept their breakaway try was good)

Duffy aint a 13, looks like they are trying to fit 3 half backs into 2 positions.

Whoever he is, he's been to a few games

Disagree bout the tackling. thought we dominated the rucks about 80% of the time in both attack & defence. Didnt mind them slowing the play the balls down near the end of the game as they were killing their own time.

As for being full time, was just saying to pals tonight imagine if our players were full time, doubt would affect their style of play much, just would benefit from recovery etc. We would be unstopable! God knows what Cullen coaches them with them being full time, certainly isnt any rugby!
