A deliberate ploy not to get involved with the game!! Thats just what you want from your biggest hitter when the teams are settling down and feeling each other out!

Re: Widnes : Sun Feb 03, 2013 7:47 pm  
but in reality, they are heading for Kent and eventually the championship.....hopefully DH will pull the plug sooner rather than later, because at the moment it's akin to watching a cancer patient fade away and die slowly..


Funny sentiment wanting the club to lose its benefactor and fall out of the Super League.

We played a lot worse last year. We didn't look like a top 8 side today, but it's far to early to tell if we're going to be the worst in SL.

I want a self sufficient Club and to do that, we need to ween ourselves off DH and his cash and start to generate our own revenues......he is part of the problem!

Adverts in Local papers is not the way to attract fans to games......but the nice bloke CEO thinks he knows what he's doing...he hasn't a loving clue! :CRAZY:

Re: Widnes : Sun Feb 03, 2013 8:18 pm  
absolutely disgusted with the performance today. just basic stuff- too many errors, not taking clear cut chances, defence appalling- noone willing to rush and meet the man but instead the line just waiting for them to come to us, and letting them in seemingly every time they got down our end. forwards largely anonymous

worst performances- will lovell bottling two tries, first by not passing in a 2-on-1, then dropping over whitewash, david "howler" howell.

bright spots- dorn and dixon, as usual the two who put in the most effort, willing to try and make things happen with ball in hand. can see the look of grit on dorns face from the stands and the only one who seems able to tackle one-on-one

no disrespect intended to widnes who i thought were very business-like about their win- defended well, took chances, largely error free. best of luck to them for the season, could threaten the 8 with players back, well done to their fans for completely out enthusing us as well. those who predicted wins for us by silly scorelines should be well and truly ashamed, maybe that complacency was reflected in the team?

oh well at least the super bowl's on later, at least i can see one game today with 100% commitment from both sides :?

Perhaps it offsets the comedy of throwing rugby balls in to cement mixers?

Re: Widnes : Sun Feb 03, 2013 8:54 pm  
Worst Broncos performance I can remember. Two poor sides and a poor ref - a great advert for a 10-team Super League.

Rea must take some blame. He had absolutely no clue what to do when Gower left the field - players went on a merry-go-round from position to position and it was only when he took Witt off that Lee and Bailey were able to put some plays on. As per Powell's teams, we still look very weak defensively on the edges - on the right, Witt and Howell aren't keen on contact (FFS!) and poor Lovell and Hurst struggled on the left. We now enter our second season without a recognised right centre ...

Much to do. The pool of players isn't dreadful but somebody needs to marshall the playing resources we have much better than this! I have faith in Rea but today we looked like an uncoached rabble.

Pluses: Dixon, Dorn, Lee, Melling, perhaps Rodney and Bryant
