It's been a long time since we've had a Fullback display as good as Owen's yesterday. I'd love to see that bundle in to touch where he got penalised for head high again.

Any chance he could cover Fullback and Left Wing simultaneously?

Played full 80 at left centre for England last weekend,I'm sure he can move an extra yard out

The Widnes winger to no part in any plays in that 1st quarter. He just stood right up against the touch line and waited for long, cut out passes that gave him walk in scores. On the other wing at least two attempts to do similar were spotted by Collis and Johnstone resulting in interceptions.

I would give him a game there then - I actually wanted him to have a shot at full back with Halls poor performances, but Owen was so good yesterday he should be FB for me.

At centre he was probably positioned nearer than Riley to the touch line already!

I'm glad you have reminded me of that 'bundle into touch'.

What is the job/jurisdiction of the 'in-goal' official, does his remit cover foul play in the in field area? The touch judge put his flag up for the player being in touch and then the referee went to the in goal official and then awarded a penalty against RO.

Also anyone have a better view of the kick off that was deemed to be straight in touch when the Widnes player caught it?

Our players were very unhappy with the decision.

Apparently MC was a little unhappy with the officials at the end of the game.

The bundle into touch was annoying because the touch judge was right there and didn't see a problem with it. They scored off the resulting set from the penalty as well.



The kick off one I thought he looked like he stepped back from the field of play and put his foot in touch but wasn't near enough to be sure.

He did catch the ball then slid his foot onto the line,even he was suprised when Ray Charles said it had gone out on the full

This is a bit harsh on Riley, four times in the first half Widnes Went to their right and our defence did not slide with them leaving a massive overlap each time. He really has no option but to try and take the man with the ball.

We all saw the weakness on our left side but nothing was done to strengthen it so Widnes just kept going back. This is something the coach should have seen and adjusted. This error plus others would have occurred under Webster hence we need a complete change.

Would like to see all that sequence of play again, even the play the ball they scored off looked decidedly dodgy.



Although I don't think the result would have been any different, I thought Silverwood had a shocker.

Good to see Owen have what must be one of his better performances for us but Cas up next and if they don't know his weaker areas nobody does.
