I exaggerated to make a point. They rested key players so I don't expect the effects of their trip to France and back to be as significant as some seem to be banking on.

Even if their trip to France has zero effect, we should still be beating them at home.

Not too sure mate. They had plenty of experience there today and most of the team will back up against us.

Not sure what we do for this one.

Starter for ten

Shaul
Lineham
Michaels
Talanoa
Naughton
Rankin
Pryce
Paea
Houghton
Bowden
Sa
Mini
Westerman

Thompson
Cunningham
Feka
Howarth

Not sure there's anyone else available in the forwards? Maybe draft Turgut in if fit?

My comment was tongue in cheek but I'd be pretty gutted if we lose on Friday .

I'm well beyond the point of assuming that we should be beating anyone anywhere. And we lost the corresponding fixture last year. With fewer players missing IIRC.

There isn't a side in SL this year that you can take lightly and get cheap points from. Having said that Widnes, even at full strength, at home are not likely to be one of the tougher challenges this season. Its an absolute must win game.

Think I heard on radio he was out for a few weeks, knee I think.

What a dirge of a night that was. Raining, 0-7. Shocker.

Bloody terrible night.

Hopefully he'll be banned for Friday along with White.

There are no easy games any more and there have been some unpredictable results this season but this is an absolute must win game IMO.

Widnes try early on from a Rankin knock on, IIRC. Terrible game.

yep was a really horrible game, hopefully this fri will be a lot better, mind you would settle for a 7-0 win for us

re the last widnes home game, it was a sunday afternoon, fixture switch, widnes had one chance all game and took it!


as for this coming friday, would love to see the same starting backs that played today, houghton looks more dangerous coming off the bench than starting, widnes may have rested 3 major players but the forward battle will win the game, hopefully with them travelling back from france it will work in our favour

listening to commentary of cats vs widnes, on the way back home this evening, tickle wont play due to the grade b ban

Awful match. Raining throughout as you say. We bombed loads of chances but it was a Sunday afternoon IIRC.

Was it? Stupid Sunday games, always rubbish.

Yep, Rankin dropped the ball returning his first kick and that was that! Mind boggling game.

I will give you £50 for your pass tomorrow if you are not going to use it

Interesting........

Don't suppose he'll be one of those who change their mind week to week? If we win the next 3 home games he'll be there singing Old Faithful.

I wont be changing my mind and guarantee we wont back up todays win, not because i enjoy seeing us losing but simply because we have failed to back up victories for a long time now. Radfords bleating after todays game was pathetic and is not the sort of thing the players need to hear. Widnes victory without a doubt

If you listened to what Radford actually said and player interviews the comments seemed to come more from the players. Houghton actually told Radford to mention those of us that had travelled.

People take abuse for only appearing when we lose yet you only appear when we win which in a perverse sort of way im glad isnt very often

Go through my posting history before you make silly comments. I assume you'll be in the North Stand Friday then?

Wow seb always positive as usual lol

That's simply not true though, is it?
