Great performance tonight against very sub-standard opposition but to nil any team is a fantastic accomplishment.

5071 as an attendance too and you could feel the buzz around the place..

Smithy.. really good game, more from Webster who got involved tonight and a lovely try.. Yakka.. simply outstanding.. Duffy.. one of his really good games tonight and hope he can stay fit because he was very flexible in whichever position he tried his hand at.. Even Thackray who didn't have the best of nights came up with a peach of a try too.
Ostick.. what a hard kid he is??
Flynn................. brilliant hat-trick!!

what is particularly excellent is the fact that most of those names are the kids and that is very encouraging.

I could go on and probably should but 1 - 17 ran hard tonight and kept up a great tempo

What an easy game it is when you let the ball do most of the work for you and pass it about.

Only disagreeable of the night was their number 9.. little thug who should have walked.. lovely to see karma come for him quickly though with that embarrasing drop.. How to look like a for Dummies!!!
.. roll on Fax!!

I was really proud for all our academy lads, Widnes born an bred youngsters who are Hungry. Paddy is now an adopted Widnesian

Scott Yates
Paddy Flynn
Michael Ostick
Josh Simm
Shayne Grady

Our youth system is starting to pay.


Was impressed with Duffy and Webbo, Smith as usual was strong and missed a large chunk of the game afer getting rested.


Plenty of positives and to get 5,000 in is terrific.

Toulouse were poor though

Impressive, how come such a large crowd what marketing did Widnes do?
was it lots of freebies or all pay?

That's the performance I've been waiting for. We look sharp and we look to be playing as a unit finally. There was some very very clever rugby played tonight Even the moves that didn't come off just show what we are capable of doing.

Still think 'fax will be a much tougher test, especially up front but on tonight's showing I think as long as the pack is laying a platform the backs will play some beautiful stuff.

great performance tonight. Very professional all the way through the team, got the ball to the wings so the open Rugby is here, and very few errors which bods well. (haven't watched the recording yet but I doubt that'll change my mind on any of those points.

Around 4,000 Paying spectators, had just over a 1,000 school kids in the east stand.

Not too many freebies. Some given away to school kids.

You can normally tell how busy it's going to be by the ease with which you can park outside the ground and it was rammed outside tonight.

A great performance for Stanny to sign off his tenure as head coach too.. lets hope he sticks around to get his chance for real next time.

Great performance!

Our youngsters are really coming on now. You can see the confidence beginning to show. The last two games have been a godsend for them.

Toulouse were very disappointing though. This makes it a bit too difficult to judge whether or not we’ve tuned a corner and we’re finally playing to our potential. If we have, then Halifax need to watch out next week!

Toa needs to calm down.

Plus competition for places via Stanny.

Happy days, we've not been 100% but we are getting there.

TKL had an excellent game as well..


Nes

that scoreline can either be very good or very bad for widnes

the good news is the confidence will be buzzing not only for nilling a team but to get that amount of points.

or it could be a bad thing because undoubtably the defence will get more of a game next week and the defence was not really needed like it will be next week.

really good 6,7 and 9 combination widnes have got there on paper that sounds awsome but fax have the quality playmakers aswell should be a cracking game if both sides can play the attacking rugby we know we both can then it will be the best nl1 game of the seaon and will certainly match the entertainment the super leauge would.

didnt expect that at all i turned it off when you went 18-0 up
toulose were shocking though

Quote ="SNOT-HIM08"I like this write up www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... _0?rss=yes'" "The Vikings threw the ball around like St. Helens" More like how we used to throw the ball around in the good old days. Can't argue with it though.

Chuffed for you last night, great effort.
How poor were Toulouse though!!!

Your Fullback is an awesome kicker! Well done last night

I find it most amusing that anyone who watches a team with Mark Smith in it can have the gall to call another player a thug, unbelievable

Ah - big hello to the first dullard of the thread.

Amazing stuff.. another one that if he opened both his eyes at the same time he would pass out from the amount of brain power needed to coordinate

TKL did two seasons worth of passing in 1 game!

TKL has been very good this year, Paddy will score a ton outside him.

I think it makes a big difference to a player when they want to be at a club instead of having to be there..

The School kids had to pay aswell but at a discounted amount.

TK did have a good un and has been on form last few weeks, however he does give away a fair emount of penalites.

He gives away more pens than Ladbrokes that lad.
