@staffs-viking To be fair, he probably could. Don’t forget the players are actually getting paid for their efforts ….

Are you seriously defending that shower of crunchie ? And yes any 17 from the crowd would put in more effort.

The annoying thing for me is that, possibly other than Doro, none of them look pissed off at getting another walloping.

 

Surely there must be one of them that hates losing that much that they eventually crack someone, especially when the other teams are taking the piss, such as yesterday with a player patting Smith on the head after a knock on or the Flanagan drop goal.

 

And before people start with 'but punching gets you a ban', as a player I'd be happy to not have to be part of that side for a few weeks, and earn a bit of kudos from the few hundred fans that we will soon be down to.

Come on SV, that's bordering on an embarrassing reply. The club is a laughing stock

I don’t know what is going on in the dressing room but something is a miss.

For some reason we seem to have picked up a loser mentality.  For a club and town like Widnes with its rich history, and in the Championship at least, comparatively large crowds paying £22 a head it is simply unacceptable.

Saying would you do better is irrelevant. These players have selected rugby as a paid occupation, they are representing a town and are being paid to do so. It's not amateur rugby where the social side and turning up is acceptable. 

They need it spelling out to them by someone that it's now an embarrassment.

Not much to say that has not already been said.

A team in freefall. Spectators walking away. Interim coach not able to turn things around and no coach appointment in sight. Loss of VIQI funding after 2022, with no clear indication as to what is to be put in it’s place to ensure continued fan funding. Players not even capable of doing the basics in defence and attack. It just goes on.

In my opinion, we need to appoint an experienced coach as soon as possible, who will be tasked to bringing some improvement in the team this season, with players playing for pride and a possible contract here or elsewhere for next season; and identifying potential targets for next year’s squad, with the aim of at least reaching the play-offs.

Surely, some of the players have some improvement in them. Bent seems  to be the latest focus of criticism, but his background with Oldham is similar Baker at NW Crusaders. Player of the season for 2018 and 2019 and described as a tackling machine. What has gone wrong? Baker less effective at prop. Holdroyd brought in on back of some spectacular tries with his speed, but has he had a pass in open play this season?

Whoever we appoint as Head Coach will have to work with the current squad for the rest of the season, unless any loans can be brought in. We desperately need a creative half-back and a hard running forward able to break a tackle.

Hopefully the message will be loud and clear now with a new boss looking to 2023. 'Shape up or ship out'.
