Fairly certain that I wouldn't have called Wayne Bennett 'Boring Brian'  The comment I made about Noble was purely about Brian Noble and not Widnes, I think you're just being a bit defensive. |

Two defeats does not a bad coach make!
Hunslet lost by 8 in a poor game and Leigh was just a 40min collapse where we missed about 400 tackles.
I wouldn't say Millward was an awful coach based on his time at Wigan and I think Betts will grow into it greatly. Last 2 losses maybe a blessing in disguise! |

| Quote ="LeythIg"Under the current system, Widnes should be getting a franchise. However, I think the system is flawed. (Not Widnes' fault). How does winning the northern rail cup in 2009 point to having enough on-field success to be in Super League in 2012?
Some Widnes fans walked away from last year's northern rail final, without being too bothered because they knew Batley posed no threat in franchise applications. Any system that leads to that can't be right.
But we are where we are, the big question is, now Widnes have ticked the necessary boxes, can they bring all of this work that has been done over the last few seasons together to produce a team that can compete at the highest level? And is Denis Betts the man to lead it?'"
the answers are Yes, and No, Professor Charles Xavier and stephen Hawking will be talking charge for next season. with chuck norris as conditioning coach. |

Only time will tell! The point is we have done what the RFL has asked us to do and therefore we deserve the opportunity to find out. If we can't make a success of it this time we never will. As for Betts no chance is he the right man is my early impression but he deserves this season to prove himself. |

Ps. You could also argue that whilst doing what the RFL have asked you to do, and therefore deserving your chance in Super League, you have shown the system up for the shambles that it is. |

If you take the time to read what people have said you might realise that I was actually replying to a point that someone else made about being short sighted. It wasn't a pop at Widnes, it was a pop at the RFL's daft rules. If you want to get defensive because you've got a poor team, fire away, but like a Widnes fan has already stated, you will have a brand new squad next year anyway.'"
Do you really think they have a poor team Jonny, i don't, they showed in the first half what they are capable of. |

That's the point i've been trying to make, fair play to them for getting in, it's the RFL that I have a problem with. And it will be highlighted even more unless somehow Widnes can recruit some incredible signings because they will get hammered every week and it won't be their fault. |

What side wouldn't? 300k cap - 1.6mill quite a big hop? Leigh have been great so far this year but it's still early days too. |
