It was so bad today it was funny....
Where is the leadership on the pitch?
Why does he still pick Doran?
Doddy put in more tackles in 15 mins than most of the pack.
Need to have a serious clear out and the longer Cullen waits to do it the more the crowd will shrink.
He surely cannot defend that performance.... lets hear him say so..

Barrow were organised and disciplined, nothing more, but it was more then enoughto breeze past our shower.

A total disgrace.I think the players need to go on a sas or marines course to toughen the pussys up.The amateur players have more pride and if do not want to be at widnes then i happy for them to go.They are mercenaries and i feel sorry for ste o connor.

wasnt at the game but sounded like Barrow were a little more than organised and disciplined,they had flair,pace aggression and desire,fair enough you wont be happy with your teams performance but if another team beats yours who are full time? surely Barrow must have played well

I think your fans are being a little harsh on cullen,.he inherited this team and his hands are tied.Barrow came and were really up for it and fully deserved their win.The widnes defence was very poor and i felt sorry for smith who tackled his guts out,but were was webster i don,t know,he was missing all night.Its best to put this behind them and concentrate on Whitehaven on thursday otherwise you wil starring down the barrell of another defeat.Could someone tell me why the ball constantly gets taken up the middle with no players in support and the wingers getting completly starved of the ball,how frustrating must this be for deano and young paddy flynn.On the night everything stuck for barrow and they fully deserved their victory.

You are quite right Dave...

Watching them tonight... I kept an eye on a few things..

From the point where we made contact with their player when they were attacking they made a further 4 - 5 steps before being put down and that was after them already making up the 8 yards that we give them because we don't move up.
In comparison too many of our players hit the line and stop..
This shoulder charge tackle is costing us too many line breaks as players simply have to spin when they meet our line..
Barrow continuously move the ball out wide away from the tackle... we pass to the next man who runs it back into the area where the ball has been played and the main defenders are???

How can this be happening.. what is going on in coaching??

I've got a pass out for the players evening at the club and I will be going down there with a few questions.

Did you copy and paste that off our board?

If I was Ostick or Flynn I would get the fook out of Widnes as soon as a SL clubs comes sniffing around. They're the only players apart from Gaskall & Dodd, when he came on, who look like they give a poop when they are playing. Staying at Widnes is only going to stifle their careers and potential.

We need to get rid of Smith, he's been a great player for us but he should of gone when the supposedly SL offers came in for him, he's been stale for the last two seasons. There's no leadership or fire about him on the pitch whatsoever, which inspires no confidence at all.

Webster had quite a shocking kicking game today but could you blame him with platform the forwards provided him? Thacks trys hard but has nothing really to play with.

Doran and TKL = penalty machines. Wildbore, complete nutter just looking for a fight all the time, which is costing us dear. Why can't we ignore the little niggling tactics that other teams employ against us and just play smart rugby and just get the fook on with it?

Rant over.
