Toa is a huge loss in the centre and hopefully he will be back for the Batley game, Banister should also be in the mix (why didnt he make the bench tonight?) along with Fletcher and Paterson.


We need our strike players back and fast, otherwise there is nothing down for us this year.

agreed, its gonna be a tough and close season this year. I don't think any match will be a walk in the park, every team is capable of pulling off a win.

And we seem more than capable of throwing winnable games away....

I thought you lot would kick our ass, but proud of our boys, it definitely was a game of two halves.
Nice to see your skin head Nazi with his doc marts and his group of brain deads mates shouting profanities at the end of the game outside the ground, shame that our education system has failed on educating some people, and to think that you have Millsy in your team...Shame on them.

Will be lucky to come away with 1 win from those 3

Just remembered that we've got Sheffield away before those 3 games aswell, which won't exactly be easy will it?

Embarrasing

Credit where credit is due, Widnes inched themselves into a nice deserved lead on the back of a couple of well taken training ground tries and the failings in Doncaster’s sliding defence.

As I said ! Credit to Doncaster who where never really far off the mark in the arm wrestle and in the second-half stepped up to the contest, the style both teams played became predictable and it was Doncaster’s better kicking game that brought them rewards and back into the game.

Must say if the last kick of the game had been collected by the winger he would have had a clear 50 metre race to the try line.

Any such fan is as unwelcome in Widnes as he surely was in Doncaster.

Not a good time for Widnes fans all round but congratulations to your team for running us so close. Lot's to think about right now.

Think we will be okay in the long run in the long run tbh, but need to pull the finger out. Not sure if Cullen's the answer, too.

It certainly was value for money, good game, good luck for the rest of the season.

At the moment id say he's bottom of the list of culprits for the current state of affairs. He will slowly work his way up if he carries on with playing with 2 FB's & 4 wingers like last night, mind.

Ultimately the squad is so imbalanced. Absolutely no need for 4 full time wingers all of relatively similar ability. Ste Mc took some flack and im still amazed that TOC manages to dodge any because he was just as large a part of the recruitment as Steve Mc.

We seemed to pick up players because we had the cash available or to stop others getting them. Ste Bannister was probably another we could have done without and im sure we went throwing ££'s at Webster because the rest of the division did.

Quite amused to read the comments of people slagging the team off that didn't go to the game.

The game in my opinion was a large step forward, and the perfect example to the players of how we can play this season. The first half was the best we've played so far and finally had dummy runners, unpredictable play, and a good kicking game., winning the half 20-0.

The second half we went back to how we've played so far this season and lost the second half 18-4.

Now I would assume that Cullen will let the players watch the game to see the difference and to get them to play for 80 minutes rather than 40. I must say Thackeray and Webster can work very well together when they want to and when there is a good deep attacking line.

Other pluses was Thompson's best game so far, and I thought Simm had a solid game as well.
