Didn't go to Widnes last night, but listened to the match commentary on RH.

Here's a conundrum? What has happened to Sio and Dixon in the last 2 SL games under Poching? Both are arguably our 2 fastest backs and also our 2 best strike players and finishers of those fit enough to play at the moment.

Ken Sio hardly touched the ball last week against Saints and last night he touched it twice in the first half apparently and carried it mainly from rucks in the 2nd half.

Then there's Dixon. Now deemed not good enough to make the matchday 17 twice, when the club has been as depleted on numbers as it is ever likely to be. His stock must be really low or his attitude must be as bad as his tackling, which incidentally is the main weakness of Ryan Shaw who replaced him. I am a bit perplexed as to why our gameplans don't involve throwing the ball out wide and early any more to try to strike from deep.

Can anybody shed any light?

Ken Sio was unmarked on the overlap twice last night for walk in tries only Ben cockaynes inability to pass the ball to the right stopped it exactly the same as against wakey.

Sio needs to play fullback, he's about as good as Ben under the high ball (neither are infallible) his one on one tackling is better and with his pace he won't stifle our attack, I hope our new coach sees sense

Agreed. Ben blew at least 3 walk in trys against Wakefied due to lack of ball distribution to the wings.
