Some of our defence at KR and at Catalans was pretty good. With the right mindset they can match the biggest fellas. I think the important thing is that we play our own game, we got sucked in up at hull, then showed when we threw the ball about that we could open up the defence and post points.
JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
Hoping wire come down thinking they are going to stroll it. Remember that game where the bloke from Warrington took his shirt off in disgust and tried to burn it while shouting abuse at his team
March 14th 2009 We beat them 60-8 and the biggest focus of their anger was Matt King! Our team that day was Jon WELLS; Chris MELLING, Matt GAFA, David HOWELL, Will SHARP; Luke DORN, Danny ORR; Karl TEMATA, Chad RANDALL, Danny WARD, Chad ROBINSON, Tony CLUBB, Joe MBU. Subs: Daniel HECKENBERG, Jason GOLDEN, Luke GALE, Louie McCARTHY-SCARSBROOK. Tries from Gale (2), Dorn, Gafa, Howell, Melling, Orr, Randall, Temata and Ward. Danny Orr kicked 10 goals and there were 3,206 witnessing it!
Yes Lowes was head coach then - but not for long! He was shall we say volatile at that time; I had a run in with him on the touchline that resulted in disciplinary action! Have to say though when he was coach at Bradford I remember a really amusing episode at the Hive when he was slowly inching down through the Stand to get to speak to players in a position he shouldn't have been, chased by Connolly the Match Commissioner in a Benny Hill stylie. All with a smile on his face - great rapport with us in the crowd that day.

You're Gutterfax ans I cLAiMmY......LOL
They went on to win 3 challenge cups out 4 whilst we went on to employ a dodgy fielding specialist.....
That was the one, give him his due Matt king was pretty poor the whole season but yep on that day he was the target of some less than complimentary comments. Wonder how many wire will bring down, fact it's on telly gonna affect the the numbers that travel but sat night will help.
