Stick in points deducted and never finished more than 4 points off 3rd... Just lacked a but of consistency IMO which Fax have used well in recent seasons!

Fax have been quality in recent years. Really have brought some great names to the division.

What a silly thread, it's your grand final week and all you can talk about is widnes.

NOT DONE VERY WELL WITH THE SPELLING HAVE WE?

People just need something to distract them during the week before the big game.


I found myself watching old episodes of Fireman Sam last night. So many innuendos!

Yeah - this is the only thread started on the forum this week.

You can be such a twonk sometimes.

Sod off and play with your yoof.

You can't beat Captain Pugwash

Spelling was never a strong point in school

Yes Widnes youth Top of the U18s, beating Superleague clubs.

Anyway we have made a profit, and maybe fax should have had a reserves and u18s.Then you would not have been as strong in your first team.Swings and roundabouts mate.The cap is much higher in Superleague, and you know Oconnor is waiting to spend big when it matters.

Look forward to the Grand Final and worry about your own club.

When these U-18s become Super League standard players then you can boast.

The last time this club had an U-18s they won the league and the playoffs. The last time this club had a reserves they won two out of the last three finals, beating Widnes both times. Three of these U-18s are playing Super League, several in the Championship and several in the National Conference winning Siddal team.

Good stuff! Of our last victorious lot half are the Rochdale team, a few in Championship & other champ one clubs. The odd one in SL and also a current England international!

Oh... and one got you booted out of Challenge Cup

SO what you have a academy, You First team is still total Garbage !!!!, If i wanted to go watch some kids play i would go watch Siddall which is 5 minutes away, I prefer to go watch a CONSISTANTLY good Pro team
.
I am looking forward to it pal, something you wont be seeing for a long time to come, a grand final, other than the poxy railway cup !!!

Wow, You must be so proud to be supplying Championship 1 with players !!!

Tell your friends who post this stuff then

??? eh

You can't start a thread about Widnes' league posistions and then the next day say 'Ah well I don't care were going to a grand final and your not!' You started the thread etc.

Enjoy your final build up... I would

Thats where your wrong my little soft drink friend, This is a Halifax Board and so we can talk about where we finished the last 4 years in comparison to where you finished. Oh and i forget to mention, We are going to the Grand final for the second year on the trot, and your NOT !

At least one of them made an impact against Fax this season



Chances are we will have an England International also if David Hodgson gets called up once Huddersfield's season is over.

Do you have a list of that side? Just out of interest based on this I picked this team list up from a Widnes thread and it is quite interesting to look back and then to now…

‘The following is the team sheet from the all conquering 2006 u18's when they beat Wigan’

1 Scott Yates Full Back Josh Veivers 1
2 Shane Grady Winger David Small 2
3 Dale Bloomfield Centre Andrew Thornley 3
4 Matt Strong Centre Ross Bradley 4
5 Neil Liu Winger Shaun Ainscough 5
6 Richie Myler Stand Off Chris Gerrard 6
7 Martin Keaveney Scrum Half Sam Tomkins 7
8 Darren Banks Prop Ben Kavanagh 8
9 Andy White Hooker Tom Smith 9
10 Michael Ostick Prop Neil Holland 10
11 Dane Donahue 2nd Row Chris Tuson 11
12 Adam Sidlow 2nd Row Lee Mossop 12
13 Rob Draper L.Forward Stuart Howarth 13
-
14 Luke Bradburn Substitute Mike Priest 14
15 Mike Morrison Substitute Liam Farrell 15
16 Mark Murphy Substitute Luke Rhoden 16
17 Andrew Marsh Substitute Ben Davies 17

Interestingly out of both sides that day…

8 have worn Widnes shirts this season but half played for Wigan then!
7 of the Wigan side have played SL rugby for Wigan this season, inc 2 DR

Tomkins & Myler are both full England internationals.

Sidlow now play’s Super League for Salford.

I can’t account for only 11 out of the 34 in SL/Champ/ Champ 1. (Liu, Banks, White, Bradburn, Murphy, Marsh {Widnes} Small, Bradley, Smith, Holland, Howarth, Priest, Rodden {Wigan} If anyone knows if they play champ / champ one somewhere?

Sorry that's 13 out of 34 I can't account for in the 'pro' leagues leaving 61% who 'made it'!

All teams go through phases and changes.Look at featherstone now, they are a top side.A few years ago they where crap and Widnes where always in the Grand final, losing to HKR and Cas.Hey enjoy your day out when fev win.



To be honest it is only a game, and i am confident next year Widnes will be higher than 5th.This thread cracks me up especially as you should be thinking of the Final.

What a Total Cock !!!, i am thinking of the final however unlike mutants more than one thing can go through my thoughts at once, I am not a player, merely a season ticket holder, so my preparations are get up, go for a few bevvys, get on the coach at the shay and watch and cheer for my team to win, SIMPLES !!!!

Goodluck and enjoy the game.But i do predict a Fev win.

My bold. Having spent time reading throught these posts - time I'll never get back, I can only say "me too son, me too"!!
