I know Dewsbury have had some good wins of late but I am hoping for a convincing Widnes win in good conditions today. We do have to start to enlarge our agg score and I’m hoping this is one of those games we can do it in. SOooooooooo I’m going for a large 54-6 scoreline (bound to be embarrassed by that prediction)with mom JJ and att 2400
Closer for me, no stand off and limited options in terms of a long range kicking game. 24 - 12. Attendance 2,150.
Bookies are saying Widnes by 28
Well no we know the result - goalkicking would have increased the score, but a solid win
edge mom, not surprised by that but I thought langtree contribution was enormous, and fozzy was superb
our pack look to be playing well too, with Houghton and billington as subs fitting in well
potential Problems - is JJ injured and out for a game or two - who covers hooker (Lyons - but not in squad today) Jack - but who cover 6
think we need an influx of new players to lead us to second in the table
We were good against limited opposition but did a professional job the pack looks very impressive
stand off still the problem
Good win, better than I thought. Good long range tries. Hall could cover hooker with Lawton coming into the back row or Mcquirter at loose forward. Against the better sides I think the lack of a stand off will hurt us, but it didn't matter today.
Ince looks back to his best, moving better and confident. I think Edge could play SL for a side like Bradford, Cas or York. Glad he's decided to stay part time with his decorating business. We just looked bigger and faster than Dewsbury, makes a refreshing change. It was good to have 4 good subs on the bench and some size so no drop off when we rotated.
Good tries, nice to see the ball thrown around- thought Billington looked decent and the pack was well drilled.
We are going to have to get a Stand Off but hopefully we can get through the semi final with how we played today- looking at the league table Rochdale seem to be similar level to Dewsbury...
JJ has a dead leg and will be fine for next week.
We now have enough forwards fit to make 2 packs. What a refreshing change.

What were the Golden Gamble numbers today please. Did not hear them announced but then the new loudspeakers were rubbish, lots of echo.
Thank you.
Good win today, it no mean thing to nil a side.
I was listening to the radio commentary (which was good), and two things stood out to me in addition to the above comments, quick play the balls and how well Kieran Taylor played.
In Alan's post match interview he inferred there will be an announcement regarding half backs tomorrow.
Good win today. And even better news that we should have a halfback signed for the semi final

Martin you got the points margin right just not the score line!!! 😉
Game still isn’t uploaded to YouTube, I try to avoid the results. I thought the game was to be uploaded an hour after final whistle?
