Must admit that in previous encounters Widnes looked out on their feet with 15-20 minutes left, whereas today they looked like they could match us for much longer, so it might not be out of the question that some players have been putting in extra training, especially those who are going to be playing in SL?

we did LAST year, whats your excuse this year?

thats rich coming from a widnes board regular



what did you put? (without using bad words please)

I said i would like Apple pie with Custard to which someone took offence.

The level of support has held up reasonably well even through the darkest days.

A lot of fans left as they have been disillusioned with the SL era - being left out 1st time around and the sell off of our best players due to money problems. They came back when we went into SL and left when pushed out for Les Cats. We've always maintained a hardcore of 2500 - 3000. It probably does help having such a successful, relatively recent past as that's how fans are really attracted in numbers.

We do keep our success close to our hearts as we are, in comparison to Wigan, Leeds, Saints and Bradford a relatively small club. We like the fact that we matched and bettered the big clubs and even conquered a star studded Canberra team to be crowned the best in the world.

Under SOC's guidance, we are now back at the top table but it will be much tougher in this age to get back to the top.

So does anyone know what Mr Betts' sniping salary cap after match comments were?

That's a pretty fair assessment. Now get off this thread, no room for balanced viewpoints here!




Something along the lines of it being little surprise that we've got such a good side because we 'keep breaking the salary cap'.

And the other four or five clubs who've finished above Widnes over the last three years - breaking the cap?

Did they have subtitles when Betts was speaking?

No, though there were several people who thought it was actually Tanya Arnold speaking. Never been seen in the same room together. Fact.

What will happen to Widnes if and I say if they are found to have broken the SC this year and last year? Personally I think they have a lot more than few current SL teams to offer so I hope they put up a good show for a club this side of the Penines. Always enjoy going to Smogland win or loose. They're not a bad bunch really.

How long is your memory?!

The facts are that we DIDN'T spend over the cap.
We did, however, fail to fill in a form.
Hence, Technical breach.

Hope Betts enjoys his month of being a Super League coach before they fire him.

Will he even last as long as that? And the Smogs wonder why we were all p1ssing our sides when their "big coaching announcement" was Denise extending her contract.

..........Listening to "marble mouth" Betts reminds me of the fire safety adverts( playing with matches ...Charlie says ) a few years ago.........

Ooops....


Did I touch a nerve?

Yes that's the main reason , you are the only club that has a chance of moving up and being anything like self sustaining and therefore eventually competitive

The challenge for us and Fax,Barrow,Fev , is to get similar attendances , it won't be easy

Widnes lost to us again - some folk might have calmed down by Thursday.

But our you, were not up to you boys yet!

Eh? Sorry, i don't speak Widnesian. Translate into Yarkshire please (or English for that matter)

Ee by gum cocker no fut play thy fax t' while Thursday!

Better?

No. You're coming across as clear as the guy in your avatar. It's probably me but i just cannot fathom what you are trying to say.

not just you LOL

You may be better on the field but your terrible off, we deserve to go up and everyone knows it. i hope you wallow in the championships and go into administration. You are lucky to even be in this league after finishing in a relegation spot, only for gateshead.

Get a clue!

See you? Ermm never!
