Paddy Flynn was very good. Was it him who regathered his own chip kick and then booted it to the right, caught by someone else who scored? Brilliant try that. Best one of the night.

I hear it was Anthony Watts, who could be a real star if he stays fit.

He looked pretty good last night to be honest but it's only a friendly game.

Thanks to all the Widnes fans who came , we were very rusty, and it showed , but really enjoyed the way Widnes play and Paddys second try was a beauty , a Widnes fan asked me last night if I thought you would come bottom, ? , if you play like that first half all the way through the game you will scare the living daylights out of some teams,

How did Stefan Marsh go?

He played okay, took his try well.

Didn't do anything outstanding though but he certainly didn't do anything bad. Fairly solid game with a well taken try would sum it up really.

The two players I was most impressed with where Rhys Hanbury and Anthony Watts. Both looked creative and marshalled Widnes round the park well.

Rhys Hanbury was the best player on the pitch for me, very good kicking game and looked threatening in attack. Certainly had the measure of Soliola and scored a good solo try.

Went last night and thought the boys put in a fantastic performance. I'm glad Flynn played well, as he was one of the players I thought would struggle at the highest level but he proved me wrong last night. Watts and Hanbury were superb along with Briscoe and Isa I thought.
Yes the result might be against us but at the end of the day we get the last laugh for getting the first ever try at Langtree Park

Widnes played very well and will be pushing for playoffs on this performance. Well done Paddy for First try there, local lad. As for the last laugh I will remember it as Widnes being the first of many to come and fail at Langtree Park.
