Amazing - when we lose the match, topics are usually over 4 pages long but win and we haven't got past first base yet. Nothing to moan about?
I don't agree Widnes being a poor side, it's just that Fax were really up for this one and were outstanding. Muzza is a great leader, QLT is quality and Moore ran their big lads ragged round the ruck. All in all a great team performance - no weak links today. Widnes still had a sniff at 18-10 but our defence was excellent, their 2 tries coming off a Salty spill and Fairbank knock on.
The Championship is a far stronger comp this year with only Rochdale easy pickings. Swinton got another good result, as did Batley, Dewsbury are running decent sides close and Barrow are no push overs. In fact Widnes should be nervous. And poor turn out from their fans - there didn't appear to be more than 50 in the corner of the South Stand and were completely quiet for most of the game.
Feel more confident we can really give a good account of ourselves against Scouse Helens. Up the Fax!
