| I hate going into work on the back of a widnes loss! Even if we beat York and then Leigh the following week I still wouldn't be happy.

Very sporting Chris. I hope all our guys are as magnanimous, when you get the big prize, on Thursday. Good luck with that - we'll miss you. (and that's not just the regular three points, it's more the regular 3,000+ crowds)

| If you knew you was being sacked at end of the season,why put the effort in.all your players will go at the end of the season.Widnes will need a complete new squad in S.L.think you should have kept Mark Smith though looks still a star at Swinton.

| Quote ="widneslardboy"Gutted. Absolutely gutted.
Thursday is a million miles away now and I know we'll get the nod but at the moment I feel as though were frauds.
Right hand side of the re-jigged backline got tormented in that early part of the second half. Gave away so many easy metres.
Be interesting to see Millwards take on the second half because after the first couple of scores it became a cakewalk.
Not sure of the team selection either in those being left out replaced by weaker players. Picks was dog sh*t. Surely the worst for us.'Ken' Kavanagh as equally uninterested, Ropey- ati another, Coyle ,Nev the list goes on.
Quite glad at the moment that I won't be there on Thursday. My mind will more than likely be re- Widnes-ised again by then but it all feels like a giant anti-climax at the moment.'"
Ropati was hopeless in defence and only out done in his ness by Paddy Flynn. I’m not too sure if their announcer actually got it right, and someone called Ken Kavanagh actually played instead of Ben, because that wasn’t the player I’ve been watching the last few weeks.
We could have scored at least one more try the second half, if Thacks could have resisted playing yet another ing dummy, for a change. But no! There’s a gap the size of a bus two yards out, with Finnegan ready to run through it, all that was needed was a simple short pass for a certain try. It seems to me that Thacks always has only one thought, and it’s to sell dummies. He can be a wonderful player, with ball in hand, but he needs to look at who might be in a better position with a pass, rather than just pull the dummy every time. It seems to be just his first instinct. That must change!!!!
What we saw today was a well drilled side up against one that just isn’t. Our defensive line has been a fecking shambles all season and just doesn’t move up in line quickly enough. We just end up with players shooting out willy nilly and, inevitably, missing the tackle and leaving a gaping whole in a defensive line that is already looking like a dogs hind leg. Utter garbage! What the feck is the coach doing with them in training?
I agree that Picks is a bit of a liability, but he wasn’t the only giving soft penalties away today and generally looking like he can’t be d. We need to get Gareth Haggerty and Danny Sculthorpe fit to play, and give Pickers a few weeks/months in the reserves.
There’s no-one out there willing to take control; we have no leader in the team. We really could do with a proper scrum half. This has been a worry to me since the start of the season.
It seems to me that this licence decision is affecting their concentration. We seem to be getting worse the nearer we get to D-Day. I can’t wait to get it out of the way, one way or another, and get back to watching my team with their minds only on their rugby. And Denis Betts needs to get that defensive line sorted out. If he can’t do that then it’s time to reconsider his future.

Thanks Alan, had a very quick squizz at the program too. Looked quality. Top notch effort mate.
I'd also like to say hats off to the announcer guy for repeatedly wishing us good luck for thursday without wanting to sound sarcastic.
Also... do they always play Billionaire at the end of matches or was that for our benevolent leaders benefit.

He could have done with throwing a dummy, when he put that pass in Ridyard's hands, for the interception! It happened right in front of me, and I don't know what he was thinking of. Not sure that Ridyard believed it either, from the look of astonishment when it landed in his hands! I can only assume that the message didn't get from Thackeray's brain to his hands in time!

This has happened a few times so far this season. We are on the attack, in the opposition 20, and someone throws out a long pass, only to be intercepted resulting in a try against us.
I don’t really want to say too much more about today’s performance, because I need to cool down. Otherwise, I’ll end up demanding half of the squad and coaching staff fired. As it is, I’m sure we are not quite as bad as that. I think this licence decision is causing problems, and Leigh are probably the best team in this league. They certainly are well coached. It does look like we may have yet another average season. That is disappointing, considering that we may well be elevated into Super League on Thursday. That makes it embarrassing and shameful to.

No need to be embarassed, or ashamed. You should take anything the RFL offers, with open arms. They haven't exactly given you much, these past few years!

I would have thought that a possible place in a Super League team would be something to spur you on to play and train hard.
It looked like Dennis told the whole squad they were getting sacked at the end of the season in his half time talk the way they played in the second half.
