Widnes game

After I came home from the game,I watched the half time summary and then the second half.
Sky made comment about his positioning before one of the tries but overall he did very well.
Watson,on radio interview,said that he played well at Hull and the 2 interceptions he gave away we’re part of the learning curve. Generous assessment.
Now,with 2 weeks off,you’d expect to continue with Shorrocks at scrum half,his jaw not being broken,and JLJ at full back.
Warrington will be a different proposition,though.

Says the person who seems to want to cause an argument.

You never did answer my questions about the purchase of season tickets and still paying on top of them, being the Uber fan you are surely this is something you will do?

C’mon guys,let it go,for heavens sake

I use Uber all the time.... gonna have a pop at me as well?😉😂

As for last night it was a strange game. Credit to the lads for coming through but we won on heart more than skill as Widnes are a dreadful team. Both of us are 4 or 5 (minimum) first teamers down at the minute and you could see how much Widnes missed the likes of Hanbury & Marsh as they had very little attacking threat.

Couple of things I heard last night which I was surprised about....

1) Josh Jones was dropped? Tbh I wasn't even aware he was fit but was told he played at Hull and had a shocker! We need him back and firing as he's one of our main strike weapons.

2) MCB isn't coming until next season. I was of the opinion that he was heading over after the England Knights game so what's changed there then?

Josh Jones did play at Hull and was brought off due to injury,he was at the match last night with a plaster/pot on his leg.He was just in front of the dugout.

There was footage on the big screen just before we came out of a big group huddle and there was kind of a new togetherness vibe about the whole thing, not a team of strangers as we've seen over the last few games.

Do think with a few tweaks to his positional game JLJ could be a fine option at FB, we again though could end up with the Evalds V GOB type situation where both merit inclusion, the difference is JLJ seems to have little to offer in the halves.

After Widnes scored first through what was a good kick but bad luck to palm the ball into a Widnes hand I heard Junior being incredibly vocal for just about the first time, someone like him, Koppy, Lui and Flash have to be the on field rocks for the less experienced players if we are going to beat the terrible position we find ourselves in.

The pack last night seemed to have taken an angry pill and got their desire back, that said there is still a huge over reliance of dropping the ball back inside to a runner.

With Shorrocks now seemingly finished with a broken jaw we could really do with Brinning coming back freeing Woods up to play in the halves.

A negative was Tasi and his tackling technique, if he was on any other team we'd have all been screaming for him to be given the chair, it's alright trying to make every tackle count but what he is doing is straying up towards the head on every tackle and we will be lucky if he keeps it up if he doesn't get a ban for some very important games.

A special mention to my new chunky (even though he clearly isn't) friend Greg Burke, has the looks of a type of cult player, we all loved Baynes and can't see why we as fans can't foster the same type of tongue in cheek love for him, the determination for his try reminded me trying to get to that last sausage roll in Gregs
