GAME ON : Hull FC v Widnes Vikings - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

A decimated Widnes team have 9 players out , two with broke legs , one with a broken arm. , They also have players out with hamstring injury , ligament damage and concussion !!

Christ on a bike !


Taken from Superleague forum :

“ The Vikings are without nine players due to injuries . Denis Betts faces a headache selection as Keanan Brand (broken leg), Wellington Albert (hamstring), Gil Dudson (ankle), Danny Craven (concussion), Krisnan Inu (broken leg), Patrick Ah Van (broken arm), Hep Cahill (ligament), Stefan Marsh and Lloyd White (calf) all sidelined.

I thought this was at Widnes?

One of these clubs has won a World Club Challenge and the other hasn't.

Another awful game chosen for TV.

Convincing Hull win here for me, they have played very well in patches this season but i feel they will come together tonight and put a performance in, the fact Widnes don`t have the pick of a squad that was already incredibly weak to start with wont help there cause.

Nice one Jonno.... Hope clinging onto a win in 1989 sweetens relegation for you a little this season.

Yeah Jonno back down mush #whippingboys #worstteam #boohooyou'vegotinjuries

Wakefield Trinity fans eh? The biggest gang of whoppers in Super League.

A few wins early season and on their forum they were getting all giddy and asking 'are we a big club again'.

Now their crap outfit has since had FIVE defeats on the spin there's threads on the same site calling for Chris Chester to be sacked. Some muppets, hilariously, now want Richard Agar appointed in his place.

Oh yeah, and you are one of those muppets!

great centre play by Connor. Hope both hull fans there appreciated it.

Feel for the Widnes fans, Widnes seem to be a club just happy to be in SL at the moment and nothing more. Shame as they do great things underneath the first team.

I'm fed up of seeing swathes of empty seats.

Apart from a few clubs, they all need to find 'smaller grounds' ! That's the state of RL nowadays unfortunately...

Really poor from Hull again considering Widnes’ injuries. A shadow of the team which won back to back cups and another game where Sneyd, Kelly and Shaul have all done next to nothing (so far). They’ll still win comfortably but I don’t give them a chance at making the top 4 unless something changes quickly.

I tend to take more attention as to whats happening on the pitch.

Gutsy performance from Widnes so far, Hull need to stop thinking they can score off every set.

That's fair enough.

I'm more concerned we won't be watching anything on the pitch in a few years.

It’d be interesting to see how many of Widnes’ injuries have happened at home, that pitch can’t be helping at all.

Now who sounds like a Liverpool fan?

Hull wasn't it?

3700 there tonight. Not good

48: 54 spear tackle from Hull FC .
Scrappy win for Hull against a decimated Vikings side , and losing talisman Houston in game .
And why were the stewards checking the Hull FC players bags when they arrived at the ground , tad unprofessional in my opinion .

yes, lose houston they have a problem

Like when we played saints, the likes of sky and others fail to mention the 5 players we had out but that would make saints less invincible and Widnes' effort less gallant

Think Widnes fans are bored of being in Super League, and just 'making up the numbers' never challenging for the top 4, or even a decent challenge cup run. They used to get over 3K when they were in the division below....The town has lost interest, when I used to go to games with my Dad in the late 70's & 80's, Naughton Park always looked at least 3/4 full. Glory days I know, but still, 3700 ?? Bradford Bulls are getting bigger crowds in the 3rd Division, and my team Leigh are averaging around 3300 v championship sides, with no away support.
