2 Apr: SL: Catalans Dragons v Widnes Vikings KO 6pm (TV)

[chuffer]

Indeed!

[MZH]

Don't really like that decision to go for 2. Even if he kicks it I think with a minute to go I'd have been looking for one last shot at their try line.

Widnes just don't look as fluent without Brown, but it's been a really gutsy effort. They are right in this.

[chuffer]

A lot more of an arm wrestle than I expected to be fair...chuffed with that

Everybody thinks it just Brown but we've had our whole backline disruptes too. For me Bridge, Marsh and Runciman combined are as big a loss.

Brown out though makes Mellor and Hanbury so much less effective as well.

[Maximus Decimus]

Pleased with our kids too, not been as weak as they look.

At first I shared that opinion but there wasn't enough time to get a try, both teams were knackered and if we got it we're within 2pts

[barnyia]

The french say carney isn't playing too well this year, after seeing the first half carney is the main organizer and they're missing him! Not the best game though!

[RSN]

Wasn't that bizarre..he was touching the dead ball line

There was no way there was clear evidence of Gigot touching the line.

The decision should of been what ever the on field ref sent up.

Yep, Johnson looks decent

Edit...it's Johnstone, the 2nd one today

Disagree but what is it they say about opinions?...

[chuffer]

Lots of territory and possession but cant get over the line

[chuffer]

Lovely ball from Mellor to put Thompson in

[MZH]

Sheer weight of possession made that try, lovely pass though. It's not pretty but Widnes have ground their way back into the game. They need a bit of movement off the ball though, not asking enough questions of the dracs.

[Just Browny]

Not sure why on earth the commentators are blaming Duport rather than flappy Richards for that try. Oh hang on, Duport is unlikely to invite anyone to a Wigan Old Boys barbie any time soon.

[barnyia]

He likes his whistle this ref!

[barnyia]

Most are probably right though!

[chuffer]

Amazingly ah van hasn't dropped one yet!

[Just Browny]

Hewer looks like he has forgotten to book a flight back and is dependent on Widnes for a lift home.

[chuffer]

Pfft

[Just Browny]

North west coast? Is that where Widnes is these days?

[chuffer]

Lol, the west bank Riviera!

[chuffer]

Oh Rhys...

[chuffer]

...phew, let off there!

[Futtocks]

Taylor!

[chuffer]

Ah balls...inevitable try , heroic defence that had to crumble eventually
