Widnes away

Cracking win after being 18-0 down

[Puk]

Shows a lot of character and spirit in the team to come back from a poor start to the game.

As one of the Andy impersonators said "You wouldn't want to give Featherstone an 18 point start next week." Many a true word spoken in commentary! Never a dull moment in the Championship.

They gave us a 16 point start at Fev last season and won .

There have been some cracking games in the Championship over the last couple of seasons, anyone can beat anyone on their day and no team can be taken lightly, it is a pity it isn’t given the coverage or credit it deserves. Week in week out we see good honest rugby being played mostly by guys who have to get up every morning to do a days work before training and playing.

Trying not to be over critical, we've had quite a few lapses in the last couple of games , iam sure mash will adress this and we'll come back more astute against fev at the weekend.

Bit of a lapse yesterday when were the others

[HaxbyKnight]

A few lapses in discipline still. Penalty count yesterday was 8 - 3 according to the League Express.

Looks even better after tonight. Widnes 24 Toulouse  4.

[White Knight]

Must say it’s getting tight at the top after the Widnes Toulouse result.  A couple of four pointers today: Barrow entertain the Bulls whilst Halifax take on Oldham. It’s turning into one hell of a competition. Up the Knights!

Think I'd class the LNER game as a 4 pointer as well. Whatever happens today, we will still be no lower than 3rd, could even go second if Barrow win.

As you say HK, a massive game. Bring it on!

Assume there’ll be the usual healthy travelling army heading over later today Fevrover?

Not as many as normal i shouldn't imagine, home crowds have dropped  off alarmingly. Spoke to someone today who said they'd lost interest with no chance of promotion.  We're going we've gone for over 50 years and still enjoy - most weeks lol.

Safe journey.

Thanks I'd agree with that. The game hinged on McShane's  try, and to be honest I'm not sure he grounded the ball, but the ref was right there. I think Rovers reaction after that handed the game to York. They seemed to lose all interest.

Smack in front of us, looked like he dropped it but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Our heads dropped then,we move on.
