[John Drake]

Discuss Widnes Vikings v Catalans Dragons here.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Catalans to overcome their away hoodoo by 6.

Why has Pelissier been left out again? Is he injured?

 

Edit - confirmed injured along with Yaha and Carney

[damp squib]

18-12 at half time. Hard to tell from the radio but Albert and Sigismeau seem to be having decent games. Dureau poor again.

[damp squib]

Young Margalet makes an appearance. Widnes dominating the second half.

[damp squib]

22-12 Widnes. Catalans decided they've put in their 10 minute away shift.

[Evil Homer]

Relegation looms.

[damp squib]

24-12 Widnes. Penalty to Widnes at half way. Think I'll give up on this one.

 

Drop goal - 25-12 to Widnes

[Evil Homer]

These last two defeats are the difference between top 4 and struggling to make the top 8.

[JonM]

Those couple of consolation tries at the end might turn out to be important. Gives them +3 points difference vs Hull's -6 and Rovers -62.

 

Hull KR play Hull on Friday, can't see Widnes winning At Wigan, nor Salford at Leeds, so it's quite an unlikely set of results required to get any 2 of those 4 clubs above Catalan. Win on Saturday at home to Huddersfield makes it almost certain they finish in the top 8.

 

First ever win for Widnes over Catalan.

[Evil Homer]

Win on Saturday at home to Huddersfield makes it almost certain they finish in the top 8.

It could've been sewn up by now if it wasn't for these two ridiculous away losses that effectively end the season. Next week's match should've been a shoot-out for fourth place.

[winnyason]

Hopeless again, it's time for a new coach at Catalan

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Would love Catalans to end up in the middle 8's.

[Viking Warrior]

the vikings were by far the better team, and thoroughly deserved their win, that said robert hicks was absolutely abyssmal again

[damp squib]

Were you at the game Viking Warrior? How did Albert get on? From the radio it sounded like he showed a few good touches in an overall poor team performance. The lacklustre Catalan pack didn't help his performance I'm sure.

[Viking Warrior]

he played well in fact all the french players in the dragons team played well
