Tes Tickle on the bench?
But then for who?
No I think your right.

He did get through a lot of work but nothing spectacular unless launching the ball forward in the tackle counts.

Classic this topic. Tickle on the bench this is comedy of top draw.The weather has helped Fax, and also been a big game is bound to raise your game, and Widnes only needed to be in Second gear. Training session really.

Cahill and Tickle would mickey all over your forwards, especially on a warm sunny day. You must be all wearing the wrong goggles.

Ah but they'd also blow our salary cap as well.

Just shows how opinions as supporters differ, I thought Brown was superb, although he should have got 10 mins for the attack on the head of one of our players.

Nearly all of Widnes attacking play went through Brown, so in that respect he did boss the game for them along with Clarke, but this is a Stand off with over 200 appearances in SL and an England International. Apart from a couple of good attacking kick I thought he just looked busy without really threatening. He didn't create a single opening with ball in hand and Widnes didn't make a break all game. I suppose I was just expecting more from him, maybe if Mellor had of played he would have linked better with him. Just my opinion of course.

Interesting comments refn refs, imo they seem to be ruining the spectacle at present. Failure to police the 10m and stop the ruck being slowed down is making the game boring at all levels.
We had 3 SL pre season friendlies, two rule books were on display in every one. Watching SL is currently like watching the NRL in slow motion
