The ref Silverwood gave Salford sod all, especially in the first half when it could have made a big difference.
I am neutral and had no leanings either way, but if I had been a Salford fan I would have felt badly done to.

Did you notice the fact that Salford were lying on at every PTB just long enough to get away with it. Silverwood is not noted for blowing for penalties, but some referees would have penalised them far more than the one for a bad flop.

Widnes are a mid table, mediocre side with no money and even less fans.

Yet they took your expensively assembled outfit apart with alarming ease.

After three games Widnes have shown a little more than mediocrity. Ask the Huddersfield fans.

Enjoy your purple patch!! . . Let"s wait and see how good you are on a proper pitch with half a dozen key players out injured.

Typical. When a team is crap, blame the pitch.

Just forget that most teams train on a artificial surface.

I can recall us beating Warrington last season on their grass.

Given Widnes has a Liverpool dialling code, Everton reserves play at their stadium and listening to the local accent. Widnes people are pretty much Scousers.

And I totally agree with the above. That "Get into 'em" chant has to be the saddest heard in RL.

No they are not.

Would'nt say mediocre really...we haven't the money Salford have and we should be getting more fans,but if I remember correctly we have in the past won some trophies and where quite consistent in the 60s 70s 80s and early 90s....whereas Salford have been consistently S H I T since your inception.

I thought that one reason why Widnes won was because they played the ball more quickly than Salford. Very often Widnes players managed to stay on their feet in the tackle and thus play the ball more quickly, whereas Salford players tended to end up on the floor when they were tackled.

Personally I am concerned about the lack of pace in the side both defensively and offensivley. When teams move the ball quick and wide we are struggling.
There is no real pace or movement to our attacks at all.

Also our fitness levels are poor. Second half fade out again.

I know we are a new team and will take time to gel but that is no excuse for fitness. Also, as a new side, why didn't we play more pre-season games.

I have genuine concerns over where we will finish this season. Hopefully if we can get Chase fit again it will pep us in attack at least.

The worrying thing is persisting with Howarth -shocking player who slows everything down. How he can be preferred to Owen baffles.
