What an absolute shambolic performance !!!

Well done Leigh and well done for baiting us into the trap of a forwards game today .

I think I can safely say that this was the worst performance Widnes have gave there fans this season.

Cheers

We were clueless, I actually think both sides were very poor today, but Leigh wanted it more in the second half.

We badly need centres, we're making nothing happen in this backline.

Diabolical... the Leigh tries should not have been anything other than consolation scores this afternoon.

Absolutely pathetic.. Thank God I'm away and can't attend the Doncaster game.

All that possession and what to show for it.

Doran should have been withdrawn early in the game..
Can't even blame Laughton who had a decent game and gave us plenty of chances today..

And 2 big ugly props bacause we are screwed in the gaining yards department to set up our backs.

Thought Gannon, Kavannagh and Thompson did well today.. problems start when we get near their 20 yard line.. Clueless!!

teams as poor as leigh should not be beating us. GMR's reporter described it as a cracking clash, sounds like he's been starved of good rugby too!

I dont think it's as essential.

Bannister and Morrison will go straight in the starting team, we've got Toa coming back but we need more than that.

Where was TKL today

Wonder where that puts your team.........



..poorer,poorest.

come on he can't possibly play 2 times in such a short space of time

on that performance poorest, you were e we were er! not good enough!!

That today was a disgrace, yet again another part time team come to a full time Widnes and give a performance. Our forwards can't break wind never mind a tackle, and the amount of ball we had on there line and did nothing with it, its all too predictable

Don`t be too harsh maybe Cullens found your teams level...

I've seen better amateur matches, both sides surely can't be happy with their teams dull performances, waste of money and time

We were happy with effort and desire. Caned by the fool in the middle, and clueless on attack, but hearts as big as lions kept you at bay.
I was shocked how few questions you asked of us tbh, especially with the ball and position you had

Exactly, clueless and pathetic inside your 20 my Nan could attack the line better

You just need to do the basics against us mate..
Man for man and you will do a good job of keeping us at bay.
Our first try should have paved the way. Good movement off the ball and a couple of options provided to the man with the ball in hand... then back to normal. Slow looped passes and wasted efforts of trying to bulldozer our way over against 3 or 4 waiting forwards.

On at least 3 or 4 occasions we even had a complete set of 6 in which our forwards didn't even touch the ball. Flynn was knackered at the end as was Gaskell.

I'm really starting to get irritated with Wildbore. It's as if he doesn't care unless there's the chance for him to score a try. To be honest I wasn't convinced by any of the backs except for Gaskell and Flynn.

As Maurice put it was poor RL bit in the last 20 minutes you were never going to score , it was just a case of could you keep us uot

Laughton was his usual diabolical self

I agree.. how many times do you need to talk to a team before you decide they aren't listening and send a man to the bin..

Even against 12 we wouldn't have scored!!! 11 probably not.. 10.. we might have nicked one..

Something has got to change. We started brightly, actually throwing the ball about and getting an early score. But then it's back to 'one man rugby'. It's getting all too predictable. Cullen was supposedly the man to get us playing an attacking style of rugby, but nothing seems to have changed. The fact that our 2 wingers are making the yards instead of the forwards is unbelievable. Our inability to finish off chances is coming back to bite us. I counted at least 2 times in the second half where we should have finished with a score. It was also noticable that our defensive line does not move up. Too many times are the tacklers stood there waiting for the opposing forwards to hit them. Something needs to be done, quickly.

Not an enjoyable match, dogged by penalties for both sides. Good attendance though.

Boring and can't say I was even that bothered that we lost. The National Leagues are dead.

I wouldn't say it was boring at any point as it was always in the balance

Boring was couple of years back when you were all going home at half time , or when you nilled us at ours

We basically were more up for it in the last quarter

And when you rally in the second half of the season and push onto the final. Still dead?

hmmmm yeah like thats going to happen........
