Atkins has re found his old poor form.
hard to pick a good wire. Perhaps Currie is our best this half.

No pressure and Russell knocks on again.
Hanbury scores for chemical.
Wire kept going to Atkins side.
right side getting little ball. Ratchford guilty of a knock on as was Westwood when it went right.

Widnes knock on but get a penalty

Was thinking Widnes were beginning to look tired but we've handed the game over without a murmur; try before halftime a real sucker punch.

ht 16 nil down.
The worst game since cc Wigan v Hull.
The handling by both sides is terrible.

I'd switch ratch to hb with Bridge.
GOB not finding anything.
Wire do look like they ate capable.
I wouldn't be surprised to see us run 30 points unanswered. They need to deal with the handling though.

2nd half no change in line up.

Footballing suicide.

Shocked Ormsby made no effort to get back!

This is simply ******* diabolical.

I hope the SKY cleaners have got a big mop to clean up the bodily fluids that are being issued from the Eddie, Stevo & the rest of the PG tips monkeys.

Comback over.

The calamity that is Roy Asotasi knocks on from the kick off with all the momentum with us. Argue as much as you like that the Widnes try should have been chalked off but that knock on has killed us, and not for the first time he has shown himself to be the man for the non-occasion.

We should be 12 points closer. Widnes knock on for a try and ratchfords ruled out for a non existent knock on

Widnes knocked on and were awarded tries twice. Bentham has been appalling tonight.

I'm well ed off

TBH we've had it coming for the last 3 weeks London the exception.
We are better in the hb with R&B together.

I hope TS is keeping them apart only as to get an advantage over leeds in the cc semi when he reunites them.

We need Myler back at 7. Hopefully he'll be back in a week or so.

But not against leeds.

Ratchford was a none at centre and only switch the play back to the left on many occasions. He was guilty of being more concerned over GOB than playing his own game.

Poor display, but its hard to get too upset when your side is coached by a bloke, who reacts to a defeat by putting his feet up in the stand and chewing gum nonchalantly.

Smith is a great coach, but he does little to sell the game to the casual fan with his 'can't-be-d' attitude to games.

A local derby, with bragging rights at stake, and Smith simply doesn't give a toss ....



Bigger fish to fry, and all that?? ....

You were poor but widnes were helped by clown downstairs not asking clown upstairs twice to Look at the screen. And the clown upstairs seeing a knock on when it was fine.

dtm.
If you saw that on the tele then I'm more sure TS wants to confuse before we play leeds. I think TS knows what he is doing.
Struth I hope so.

1 loss in 11 after our best run since the 80's.

Everybody chill out.

Perhaps its a pressure TS didn't want. although it's for the wrong reason it's like a monkey off the back.
TS was repeatedly asked in interviews about the record and tried to play it down.

Are you in fact implying we lost on purpose? It all makes sense now.

However I do think, provided we can bounce back from this in the right way, this was an ideal result in terms of a wake up call and a pressure reliever with a tough run of matches coming up.
