18-12 after johnstone gets over

Ethan Ryan has gone for the intercept quite a few times now - wonder if that's something John Kear's told him do in this game.

[chuffer]

Craven's having a great game, gilmore not so much

[JonM]

Very entertaining first half. 18-14 HT.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Really enjoyable first half that!

[chuffer]

Aye, decent play from both sides

Wilde is a real asset, really hope we hold onto him

Really nice to see a Widnes team absolutely packed with Widnes Academy products.

I was literally about to say this our league coverage has really come on and is pretty decent then it cut off mid interview and back to the game which had already restarted!

Bit more homework needed on player's names for George Riley, too. 

Bradford soaked up a lot of pressure without much trouble so far this half.

Need to score here

Gelling has had a really poor game so far.

I’m amazed Gelling wasn’t binned for throwing the ball away then.
