So how did he go for you guys today? I heard he had an excellent game.

He was fecking superb mate. Linked very well with Danny Craven and marshalled the pack well too. His kicking game was first class and relieved the Wigan pressure when they tried to camp in our own half. It seemed to lift Craven's game too, as he also kicked much better this week.

Can we keep him?

No

sorry mate we need him for when briers hangs is boots up , the kid is quality think it would be good if he could spend a few months with you to gain superleague game time

Good to hear



and no you cant keep him... although i think it would be good for him to play a large chunk of this season with you.

Heir apparent for Briers. He has that rare ability to make it appear he has plenty of time with everything he does. He also has great vision and not a bad kicking game either! This loan spell will do him the world of good and I'm glad he went well for you today.

As others have said, no, you can't keep him!

For the first time in god knows how long we looked like a team with a proper half back pairing. Would like to keep him for a good while longer than a month.

If he keeps it up big Ste may just make an offer Warrington couldn't refuse.

Mornaovitch wouldn't sell him in a million years. Wire are a buying club, and O'Brien is seen as Briers replacement.

Great win for Widnes today...... arrogant Pies crying into their Meat & Potato's this evening.

You would have more chance getting Messi from Barcelona. He is quality and our future. Just enjoy him before you see him destroying you in a year or two.

Nobble a few saints, leeds, wigan, hudds & cats players in the run-up to the playoffs?

Edit: Not that I condone such tactics

yeh, just send them down to the Stobart, our boys will sort them out. We only bother performing against 'big' clubs

He wants to play for his hometown club like Richard Myler.

Out of contract at the end of the season...

I know and if I was Ste O Connor I give him a decent contract.Been a Widnes lad I sure he have pride.

Top shout. Our halves were bang on today, but the pack did well, Winterstein was top notch.

but we don't want Messi. Football is for gaylords.

Glad he went well for you. Bright young talent. Also, did Wigan take many today? I expected a huge crowd. Just over 7,500 isn't great for a local game. I know you will fill it when we visit. i just expected more from a Widnes v Wigan game.

The pack was great to a man - allowing the halves to get into the game. Allen was great again today. He had a cracking battle with Hock and was hunting for Charnley after he caught Paddy with his elbow.



Agree about the crowd mate. You could've put another 1500 - 2000 on the gat if we'd been showing todays commitment in all of our other games. I'd say there were 3200 pie munchers here today.

Allen has been our best foward so far this season without doubt but Winterstein today was top notch, it just shows with two good halves you always have a chance. With Obrien and Craven at six and seven against Wakefield and maybe Salford we could have had three wins to toast tonight. The only down side about todays win was it was'nt against w*re.

Can we have him for the rest of the season as we can keep the super Dan & super Gaz partnership going?

Isn't O'Brien from Gt Sankey?

I believe so, I think he just played all his junior rugby in Widnes at Halton Hornets

I suspect he might be recalled soon with ratchfords injury.

so he's from sankey and played for the hornets eh.. well i was gonna say you can have him back when we get richie myler back but hmm maybe we'll have both
