The team couldn't get going today. Our marker defence was awful and Henderson killed us up the middle. Definite feeling of final hangover. Felt sorry for Thackeray, Dodd and Grayshon as they tried hard. Pickersgill didn't get much support up front. Not really surprised after last week. Ah well...

Aye. Good call Rich.

With the added importance of the Trains Cup now , the Cup hangover suggestion is probably fairly valid.

Thunder have had some good wins , but I would have thought the professionalism that Cullen brings should have seen you through this one against a team towards the bottom of the league.

Don't forget that injection of Antipodeans in their squad. They're a different side now, and they beat Halifax too.

Very true , could make their battle with Leigh quite interesting.

Quite unfair too some might say.

I was apprehensive about this game and was expecting a loss following on from last weeks win.

It seems that it is difficult to get a result the week after you play in a big game such as last weekends final. Barrow found this, as did Fax following their game against Cas..


If any of us were asked though which game would we prefer to have won.. last weekend's final or today's game I think all of us would unequivocally vote for last weekend's final!!

Too true.

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring!

Pah thanks a lot Widnes....

You didn't beg hard enough.

that was fax cup hangover, same as only other loss to sheffield.

We gave you 6 points.

Didn't aid our points difference much though!

Arrange these six words into a well known phrase....

DOWN TO EARTH BANG WITH A

A EARTH DOWN TO BANG WITH

OR

A BANG WITH EARTH DOWN TO

Down to bang with a earth, surely?

wink lol down earth lol lol

Don't worry about us. I fear it may be Batley that may go down. They have a tough run in, whereas we have plenty of home games left.

Would not surprise me one bit if we give Barrow a bit of a scare next week.
The mid table is getting more and more congested by the minute, which proves how much of a bloody good league this is.

Saying that, Tolouse and Gatehead do have by far an unfair advantage. The RFL need to address this quick !

Yea am not 100% sure how allowing sides to bring in more O/S players helps them to develop

yes better side but where's the push to give youth a chance? Sorta saying your side aint good enough but as your far enough away we'll let you off with that small detail

Saying a team, that after next week could have lost half the games it has played in the league, is suffering a cup hangover is worth a chuckle.

I thought you didn't troll on this board?

I like to read all my favorite boards. Unlike some on the Fax board i see nothing wrong with a bit of inter-board banter.

Neither do I. Pull up a ringside seat next to Little Rich.

Do you want to borrow my Widnes shirt?

With the last peppered steak i had in France i might just need it.
