Jayden Myers has signed a new 2 year contract. Brilliant news!

I watch quite a bit of academy level rugby and a bit of reserves when i can. Ive seen Jayden progress the last couple.of years and believe me the lad has what it takes to 'make it'.

Often lads come up through the system and everyone automatically assumes they will become a superstar but in reality the majority play half a dozen games at most then drift down the leagues or out of the game.
If Jayden keeps his head down and out of bother he wont fall in to that catergory. Bags of potential who ill back to go on and have a good career in the game.

Well I thought the games he played against Batley and Fax he didn't do too bad at all, he was one of the better players. However, the team collectively in those games weren't up to it.

Taufua signing has helped the go forward a fair bit so we don't feel the loss of a prop quite as much.

With London beating Toulouse this becomes an even more intriguing game. Obviously the Broncos have narrowed the gap to the top 6 (I actually think they'll make the play-offs) so important we don't slip up and get dragged into the dog fight to make the play-offs.

Equally a win puts us 1 point behind Toulouse and second spot becoming wide open.

London winning and Halifax getting thumped today. This does make tomorrow very important, to create some space between ourselves and everyone below.

Re: Widnes (A) : Sun Jul 09, 2023 5:58 pm  

they did it last season (almost) ... Batley for SL, massive result v fax ... first defeat at home was against Batley, those guys are just terriers ... but on cloud bulls, of course we have a shot COYB

Re: Widnes (A) : Sun Jul 09, 2023 6:15 pm  

if we do get there to the 'million pound game' PO rd isnt big enough .. getting second, i would love to be there for the semi at home, will be monster crowd and atmosphere to boot (maybe equal to the leeds cup upset) ... still many games to go but this league and its unpredictability just dangles that juicy carrot

Good Luck tonight, Bulls

Own worse enemy. Cut out the errors and I'll-discipline and we walk this.
