I truly think today was a turn in the right direction for our club.



During the first 15mins it was the same old we've seen all season but then something happened. Whatever it was from then on our pack defended beyond themselves and we attacked with grit and determination to get over the line!



It was a great game to be at...though it was ruined by the ref and Clarke.



Clarke was a disgrace of a captain today.



That aside I enjoyed every minute and this is the reason nobody should write Widnes off.



At last it feels like progress! Today was a massive win in my eyes, seems like the hearts of Widnes fans have been re-won.



Ill see you all on Saturday and Sunday if you have a weekend ticket!



Lets CHEER ON THE BOYS!

I hope so, but we've been here before, after the Wigan game. Cullen said that we can't string two good performances together, like this and the Wigan game, because it takes too much out of us for the following game.

I'll go along with that too.

Your guys did OK but you only got back into the game because of 2 silly Catalans errors which lead to 2 long range breakaway tries, why on earth they tried to keep the ball alive after the first half whistle blew was suicide.

Mellor & White stretchered off though.

think Widnes did more than 'OK' to be honest. Those tries you mention 'still had to be scored'.

Credit where it's due I think.

No disrespect but we'll see how much of a corner you've turned on Saturday.



I'm really hoping for a good competitive game, but with our big guns likely to return after sitting out today's game you might be looking down the barrel of a 60 pointer.

ahh the condition known as 'wire fan'. Symptoms include the inability to complete a statement without condescendingly deriding anything widnes do.

because its play like that which allows them to score after the hooter winners against other 'OK' teams like Saints.

Weve been here before though and not backed it up so it is a little early to be proclaiming that we have turned the corner.



The effort and desire was there yesterday and in spells I thought we defended well too, particularly our goal line defence, which is a bit of a surprise for us.



I thought Clarke was in the main excellent yesterday. Gave a good captains performance and led us round well. The sin binning probably needs another look for me but he went well on the whole and was far from a disgrace.



Hanbury, Allen & Pick the standouts for me.



Here's hoping that we can kick on for a bit of consistency and keep to a respectable score next week.



Im not too confident given that the club as a whole is so down on bodies at the moment but if the same effort is there as yesterday then I cant complain.

Sounds as though it was a good performance. It was certainly exciting listening to radio Manchester. Either way, we need Widnes to be strong and competitive and I think you will find most true RL fans wish you you well. It is the first year back, you will hopefully have a stronger team in the coming years, particularly with your up and coming youngsters.

To be fair it is really easy to do, you've been a laughing stock for large parts of the season.



However, as I mentioned on another thread, this is a widnes team which has performed in spells (short, one game spells). It will be interesting to see how you back up on Saturday - I'm expecting a much more difficult game than most.

Aaaaaaaaaannyway!!! Back on topic.



I really don't see us putting up too much of a fight on Saturday to be honest. Our form away from home this season has been nothing short of abysmal and I expect Warrington to run away with this one early doors.



In terms of a corner turned? I actually think that on the whole we have been good value for money at home this season and Sunday's performance did not surprise me. The first half against Salford and the Bradford match are the obvious blips but otherwise I think we've competed quite well.
