Ball out to the left from Myler to Atkins who puts Ormsby away in the corner. Ratch misses kick.

4-0

Seems like both teams are making silly mistakes so far but Wire have been building to this score with a few plays that didn't quite stick.

Owen scores an easy try in the corner. Wire seem to have dropped off after our score. Kick missed.

4-4.

21 minutes gone.

Westwood with a kick into the in goal and Joel touches down. Seems like our back row is really pushing our kicking game forward recently... Widnes had momentum since our last score, but both teams seem to be giving away soft possession through errors and penalties. Ratch misses kick.

8-4

Back to Back scores through Clark after Westwood makes a break from a Myler pass. Ratch converts.

14-4.

6 minutes to HT.

Marsh puts Flynn away in the corner just before the hooter. Owens misses kick.

HT - 14-8.

Brown scores what sounded like another soft score. Owen converts.

14-14.

6 minutes gone.

Brown steals 1 on 1 and races away to score. Apparently Dean has impeded England by running across his path. Owen converts.

20-14.

23 minutes to go.

How can we play like we did at Leeds and put in a performance like this again we should be beating widnes at home

Ormsby held up, Bennie gets over from dummy half. Patton misses kick. We desperately need a goal kicker.

18-20.

14 minutes to go.

MOM Ben Harrison.

3.30 left.

Charge down from Atkins comes off. 60 seconds left and Myler forces drop-out.

44 seconds. 6 tackles. Come on Wire.

MONAS!!!! 13 SECONDS LEFT!!

Not being funny, but what was the point in beating leeds oto lose to this shower? It was all for nothing, wire need a rocket up the backside and to not beat widnes in my honest opinion at home is a total disaster!

Yes haha my voodoo worked!!' never write them off as i bloody did!!

Still not quite sure how that came about, but apparently took some finishing. Ratch misses conversion.

22-20. Full time.

How on earth did Harrison get MOM, clearly it was Westwood or Ratchford at least.

Never a dull moment, eh. A win is a win I suppose. Should be beating Widnes by more than that though, we just have to make life difficult. Over halfway into the season and we're not being anywhere near consistent. I said we would click in the end but I'm doubting that now and think we will continue to nickel and dime our way to the 8's and after that who knows.

Don't under estimate Widnes. They are not easy beats.

Summed up in one word for me... Lucky.

I did think that the 80 nil and the defeat of Leeds without Sinfield and Burrow for 65 mins didn't tell the whole story.

We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but a win is a win and I'll take it.

Today we were big, strong and really stupid. We should have won comfortably and probably deserved to lose because of the errors, penalties and poor decision making. Lucky.

On another note,dont believe for one minute what the stadium announcer said the attendance was,for me it was way higher.

I found plenty room to move about in the south stand today. There were lost of seats in the stands too. I'd say that figure just short 11000 was about right.

Sounded like Atkins didn't do anything to justify his inclusion over King? Also sounded like Benny had a good game along with Ratch?

Atkins had a strong game. He swapped with Gene and covered the wing in defence, in fact that was just where he was when Mellor kicked and it went straight into his hands, Atkins had the luck to help set up the match winning try.

I'd say Atkins was one of a handful that gave his all, with the 2 Bens, Patton, Ratchford, Joel and Currie. The rest was average or poor.
