Widnes great victory : Sun Aug 23, 2015 4:13 pm  

The spirit of the team was fantastic in defence.
can we make it 5 wins on the trot next week

To win at Widnes is a good result anyway but to win the week before the cup final and with the team you put out is fantastic.

Just hope you have a cup hangover when we play you

Fantastic result. With half our team out as well!! That has pretty much secured our Super league status now, a win against Wakefield and Sheffield is probably going to put us in the top two.
Rest easy now, there's only a small matter of a challenge cup final to deal with now. . Let's bring it on and have a week that we all can enjoy since 1986.

Toughest fixture of the 8s on paper and we won it while resting a handful - great result.

Re: Widnes great victory : Sun Aug 23, 2015 5:37 pm  

Dire game, but a fabulous result under the circumstances. 2 good tries chalked off too both looked fine to me. Most importantly, no injuries, so a full squad apart from Campese to select from. Chester has some tough decisions to make in the pack & full back slots.

We have plenty to spare now going into the last 4 games. We could lose a couple and still finish top 3, but I can't see that with the 3 toughest all being at Craven Park.

May as well push on for a league & cup double now.

Should win our home games, Salford seem to be on self destruct and Wakey are nowt special. The other two games against Championship clubs should be wins. Lets hope complacency doesn't set in. I reckon if we stay injury free and don't lose heart if we lose next week, we should be safe. Be nice to win all 7 though.

Great defensive effort today thought marsh and Ollett had good games . On today's showing thought allgood derserves a 17 spot for next week and did we nearly see tilse break a tackle to

Excellent victory! That kind of game earlier in the season would have been 1 12-18pt loss but having a point to prove RE selection for next week seemed to have been sufficient motivation for the lads who played today.

The defence was excellent today in particular, Widnes are nobodies fools and had plenty of attacks at our line, especially in the second half. Great work by the rovers today

Re: Widnes great victory : Sun Aug 23, 2015 7:44 pm  

CC needs to adopt the same plan next week. Tell the Wembley team that those who perform will be picked for the Wakefield game.

Re: Widnes great victory : Sun Aug 23, 2015 7:51 pm  

Very, very good professional performance in a pretty awful game today.

Widnes were terrible, we played the conditions better and managed the game much in part to Matty Marsh's excellent kicking game.

I agree that Allgood has just got himself a Wembley shirt, Ollett and Donaldson will probably miss out but both were hugely committed in defence today.

Very much enjoyed the community singing at the end, the connection between players and fans is a joy. ManTomato is having the time of his life.

No idea why we signed Jism, on current form if everyone was fit he's fifth choice in the halves.
