Think its whats known as "The Cullen Factor"

We outplayed Widnes from the 15th min onwards...... they wouldnt have scored if it hadnt of been for Laughton....... some shocking decisions from the man in the middle today......... he was only missing a Widnes shirt on his back.

Great result over there for you today - be prepared for the "wait until the business end of the season" and "not that bothered, we had enough possesion to win" "they are not that greater side" comments for the Widnes fans - unless some realise that they might not be the force they think they are or are going to be.

so we haven't now beaten our "nearest" competition twice!, they appear to be far from this!

We have beat our nearest competition Twice... they're called Barrow

what a bunch of results - all the settled teams now improving quickly,

Cullen needs to get the players under his charge switched on or shipped out. Haven't they had to play both Barrow and Fax away in the league so far - in hindsight not the easiest matches?

At the moment... the best 2 teams in this comp are you guys and Barrow - simple as.
We have started very average but we have a lot of new players and the bulk of em are young guys.......just want us to keep improving this season and be a top team next season.

Barrow have really surprised me. I didn't expect them to come into the league and be so competitive straight away. They must have a lot of money behind them but regardless, they are getting the results and that's what matters.

I think it's great to have two good teams up in Cumbria. It adds to their local rivalry.

They lost to Barrow in the NRC

Money is not everything as Widnes are showing. Fax and barrow have great team spirit as have Whitehaven for so long and why they are a tough team to beat as they know each other and are a family-I think thats what Barrow and Fax are building towards a settled team with a good mix of experience, youth and local players as well as not forgetting players who will give 100% and professional even if they are not the most talented-Larder, Roberts etc (Thats not saying they are not crap neither).

I too am surprised by Barrow but good on them and the more tougher games and rivalrys we have the better the league will be. I would rather see fax face tough opposition each week and made to earn a win than win easily. And it also means crowds are more interested in close games-more money. And IF Fax win something this year its been well earned if we have to play tough against Widnes, barrow, Leigh, Haven than with respect the easy win of Batley

Perhaps it was Doug Laughton?
