Never mind all this, when are you handing over Aizue & Gene?

TV games mainly this year plus the odd game i've managed to catch of yours when Rovers have played on another day.

Only seen Webbo on the TV

did you see when he scorched through the line and got us back in the game ?

oh no sorry you won't have, i was mistaking you for a fan.

Simple fact. If any Widnes fan say they would rather have old ginger than Ben Black they know nothing about the game of rugby league.

No dount they will say that webbo 'directed them round the field'. Er no he dropped off single balls to single hit ups. Very creative half back!!!

Dream on, any club in Championship and plenty in SL would take Ben Black on at a moments notice. Your lot tried hard to get him a while back, along with Penky and Greenwood. All three sat down and decided if one stays they all stay. And where are they? Not at the halton/stobart/naughton community park!!!!

And you can keep morrison, looked nothing today. IO'd rather sign Laughton. In either form Ronnie or Doug

Black ...... on Webster any day of the week, just one of things today - took a while to register because of the disbelief!

Just don't let the bloke buy League Express tomorrow because we all know what the Gamebreaker will be.

I admired what Shad said on Radio Cas tonight, he pointed out that they lost as a team, Ben didnt cost us the game & he can hold his head up high. He said that the penalty count didnt do us any favours & we seemed to make more mistakes ont he back of that.

Im proud to support Fax, even more so after tonight. It's not sour grapes, it's the fact that it wasnt a fair contest due to the man in the middle.

webster is bob. Black is 10 times the player webster is. webster is passed his hull kr best.
thackery was the massive difference and scored two brilliant individual tries.

Der...
think again.
What did I say he scored two of...tries, or brilliant individual tries?
His first was bursting onto a good pass from 10 yards out.

They looked brilliant to me

Its like attempting to teach Neitzsche to a bleeding spatula.

Harlequins also thought that Sam Thompson and Mick Nanyn are good enough for SL so that means nothing.

BUT....


James Webster will be playing at Blackpool ...Black won't !!!!!!!!!

That's all that matters today.

Yes, he will (if 'Fax reach the finals of the 9's competition!)

Shame for the lad. It was game over if he'd walked that in as Widnes had folded just like they did at Batley. They couldn't contain a team on the front foot. When Royston scored the try that eventually gave Fax the lead the Widnes players were bent over blowing it out of their ar5e5. On the day I think Websters kicking was far better. I think Blacks first decent kick resulted in a try for Royston but that must have been nearly an hour into the match.
How many times did Fax kick out on the full and also bomb chances particularly the 2 on 1 with Penny? Good exciting game and a shame someone had to lose but as the prize was a day out at Blackpool I wouldn't feel too depondent because it really is a h0le.

NO they decided to pen their deals for the Halifax local skip instead......you cheeky

Just spoke to Ben in the Ivy House and he is gutted. I just basically said the same to him as you have posted. He will get over it and so shall we. Fax will be back.

Really feel for Ben. Obviously everyone is gutted that was the moment to take us to the final. He would of scored in that situation 999 times out of 1000 it is just so unfortunate it happened at such a crucial moment in such a big game.
We are all gutted but seeing Ben's face at the final whistle said it all for me. Whatever anyone is feeling towards Ben now in terms of anger or disappointment his face definately showed me that he is more angry and disappointed in himself than anyone.
The guy looked close to tears which illustrates the passion he has for this team.
Let's back him, he has been immense for us this year. It just wasn't our day today - clearly the destiny is to win the grand final!!
We will have much bigger games than that later this year so let's take today as a learning curve. Fantastic atmosphere, just a shame we couldn't have pulled it off. I think the south stand roof would have come off had Ben gone over for that try!!!

I reckon we'd have gone on and scored more from then on we were tearing them to pieces at this point. But that gave Widnes a renewed optomism and the pendulum swung dramatically back to them. They are an improved team and will probably go and win the NRC now imo but I still think we are the top team in this league and that doesnt change anything.
Head up Blacky lad you will show them

Good words those.

I dont think anyone has any bad feelings at all towards Ben - he is a brilliant player and a top guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. He was obviously gutted, devastated.

We are all behind ben 100% - but he has to come back from this and redouble his efforts, as do the whole team.

He just had a "halifax" moment!

Spot on that mate, chin up Blacky lad you could have been our hero, it happens and I am sure you will never do that again ever.
It seemed from about the 10th minute like it just was not going to be our day today, and it wasn't.

never mind big laaaaad blckpool is a s//t hole and its a tin pot cup we will win the league and the play off final and ben black will be the man to win it for us come on fax don't let your heads drop

You are right we were on a Stag Do in Blackpool yesterday and it is just a crass place, just good for Stag and Hen parties.

its only fit for stag do's and dirty scousers
