Over the next 3-4 sl games well see the return of Diskin, sidlow, Gaskell and ferguson plus by then players will be becoming available. I can see us staying up. I reckon we're two props off it.

Wakefield and London continue to drop points and above them a few clubs continue to not turn up.

Well I'm not confident, you'd expect it's Wakey we need to keep pace with and they still have a 6 point cushion. That's a pretty big advantage over 20 games. We have yet to see who we can sign (or when they'll arrive) and a few more injuries thrown in and we'll really struggle to claw it back. We need some quality in the pack and some good fortune to get out of the hole we're in.

I agree. I worried that, coming out of administration, there would be a repeat of the Hull result. But the determination and character shown by the team makes me believe that the players do think they can stay in Super League. Two or three additions and the return of some of the injured players give us a fighting chance.
A 4 point loss to Widnes is no disgrace.
The comments by Chemics fans ( and the post match comments by Betts) add to the deserved reputation of Widnes --a classy organisation from the chairman all the way through to the supporters

Massive improvement from 1-17 yesterday. The best 40 minutes of rugby we've played all season by a long stretch. If the game had gone on for another 5 minutes we would have snatched it in my opinion. We also need to remember that Widnes are no mugs. They've managed to achieve 5 wins out of 6 and looked like they were on the ropes for large sections of that second half.

Yes it's disappointing to lose out after a gutsy second half performance but we weren't that far off yesterday. With a couple of new additions, as well as the returning Diskin, Sidlow, Ferguson and Gaskell, I'm hopeful we can perform a mid-season revival.

It's what is coming that has me worried.

The RFL are helping you out yet again by having the corrupt officials reffing Hull, HKR, Wakey & Hudds.

Have you been onto Oliver Stone to direct this conspiracy theory?

Bit of a whoosh monent there but TBF he doesn't know you tigs.

Tigs, international man of mystery.

Tigz? Fits in with the branding a bit better?

How did you know it was me?

Either that's not you, or you've shrunk

It's a photo, I am a bit bigger in real life.

Only a bit though.

For those who don't know, this was the costume tigz bought for his clandestine operation to assassinate Paul Deacon. As luck would have it, Deacs left for Wigan the day before the attempt was due, and Asda wouldn't give a refund.

A refund for Deacs?

Olbison charged with grade C (2-3 matches) for contact with Tickles head/neck and/or spinal column early in the match.

Really don't remember seeing anything. Or Widnes shouting about it. Oh well.

Wow they are getting tough, I didn't know tickling was an offence.

Good to see you lot are still in good heart. I looked at your team sheet pre game and thought you would give us a game and you did! We should have taken control but bombed a chance at 16-0 when Jack Owens made a break. We then had Dean sin binned and you took the opportunity to take the game to us.

You had us twitching and we were blowing hard with 15 to go. I think you have enough to stay up

Best of luck for the rest of the season

It's Over

In Dreams

You got it.

Widnes look to be a team on the rise, but that was the most unbelievable miss of the season [just about [i:hmoxqzmtany[/i. I think there were five Widnes players and no defenders and they managed to blow it!! They were so busy working out which one of them should walk it in that they forgot to catch the ball..
