Widnes looked very ordinary! No real leader out there for them despite all the possession.Poor defence. Webster did little all game and is overrated for me.Doran is a penalty machine. Widnes need Cullen to change the attack and sort the mistakes out if they want to win something this year. Every team will raise there game against them.

Ref had a shocker for me as Widnes knockeed on once right next to him and saw nothing. He missed some digs in the tackles. And the 10 Metres looked a short 10 metres from the South Stand.

We should have had players running on to the ball not receiving it stood still. Blacks shocking pass to nobody on the wing.A couple of injury worries.Said, Frank, Larder were strong, but Worrincy had a great game despite Widnes kicking to him all night. Defence was spot on most of the time, though we looked slow on kicks put through. All in all solid display from Fax but still much to work on in attack

Totally agree, you won that bout but theres a whole season to be played.

Bring it on!

It promises to be a very good season, and closely fought, based on tonight.

A very good match - it had everything. Just hope the playback of it isn't spoiled by terry o'connor!

Fax benfitted from a clinical edge when it mattered, and some outstanding defence (two things we wouldn't normally associate with fax). I disagree with the comment about webster - I feel that he was widnes' only threat, and outshone smith and duffy. Widnes lacked something extra in attack, but I suppose they are in transition.

Fax played within themselves with the ball in hand - felt we lacked confidence and didn't give many double or triple barrel passes close to the margins like we normally do - a result of all those interceptions?

Not good to see Miles and Gleese limp out of the game and Rob pick up a knock. Squad does look thin now.

God, I enjoyed that!!!

This is a proper Fax side, one that wears the shirt with pride and puts their bodies on the line. Second half defence was simply brilliant - we took nearly 30 tackles at one point

Atmosphere was great, the game was good enough for SL and if you closed your eyes the spirit of Thrum Hall was there.

Very very proud tonight - we did the things tonight that we weren't capable of last term (like tackling!)

well done boys, now let's kick on from here.

Atmosphere was decent but only 2,200 which is a little poor.

3272 mate which is not bad for us on Thursday night.

Yes it was 3200 - not 5000 admittedly - but its progress for us.
