My heads banging and i have lost my voice but that feels bloody awesome! credit to Fax they really come back hard at us and poor old Ben Black



Massive credit to the Viking army who never shut up all afternoon and that stand was rocking, pity they didnt open it in full as everyone was a little crammed but the atmosphere was superb. Smithy ran his blood to water and was totally gone at the end and Thackeray was superb.


Great day and respect to both clubs.


(Cullen was loving it at the end, kissing the badge and punching the air, absolute superb stuff)

Congratulation to Widnes and the army of fans that travelled over. I kept passing coach after coach and car after car coming over. Widnes played a more controlled game today - very professional display. The country mile has been shortened somewhat

Foooooooooooking fantastic!!

I've just got back. What a great game. The forwards really earned their corn today and I thought we might have blew it. I've got to give Thackeray MOM. Awsome display by the lad.

Thackeray for me to, my head is banging though i think i need a lie down.

Never thought i come on here and give you any credit but congratulations and well done for beating the mighty unbeatables!!





Oh Lanky Lanky

Thackeray was awesome today. He reminded me of Castleford's Ryan McGoldrick.

Wow what a game and it was always going to come down to the final minute.. Think 'fax gave themselves too much to do after too many errors made during the first half. Still have to thank 'the hand of god' for forcing Ben Black's monumental brain fart towards the end. Reckon that would have sealed it for them.

Season's finally starting to come together and the whole squad looked ecstatic with each other at the end which was great to see.

Best match and day out i've attended for quite a while, see you all in Blackpool

As a mark of begrudging respect i'm going to keep the sig for a week, then i'm going to remove its sorry ass

really well done. superb game thackery was awsome today, i will assume now that we will see each other in the play offs at some point.

hope that you beat Barrow i really do.

It rings far too true now to be kept.

Cheers littlerich hopefully we will both be at grand final in october

Thanks Littlerich , far to many fans of both sides having pops at each other , when we should all except that was one great game of RL .

The Vicar

Well its something you lot wont get the opportunity to do





Well Done Widnes

Best match I've been to in quite some time. Other games like the NRC final and the away win at Cas were great results but both games lacked the tension of that game.

May i offer a small pat on the back for the RFL? Oh go on.

Their decision to include the winning of this trophy as a drawbridge to franchise application has added spice to the comp. It was probably as a result of sponsor pressure but nonetheless it's livened things up where the "choo choo cup" is concerned.
