Thats kind of the point, any Widnes fan knows how bad we can be at the moment - especially away games and also in games were the game is already lost. In the 2nd half of recent games, Leigh racked up the points (twice), Batley racked up the points, even in our win over Halifax, they scored 3 further tries, but Barrow only managed one further try. To put it into perspective, us only letting in 6 points in the 2nd half is probably our best effort all year.
Add that to the fact that Widnes did have quite a few chances to score other tries, no matter how poor Widnes looked it doesn't really say a lot about Barrow does it? Barrow deserved to win, there's no doubt about it, but if Barrow were that great, they would have won a lot more handsomely. I don't think you'll find one Widnes fan who was happy with that performance (indicating we expect better), but Barrow fans seem quite happy with theirs. Personally I think Barrow will have a similar season to Widnes, they'll win more than they lose at home, but away they'll be vunerable away and can't see either side contesting the GF.
