Owens was garbage 

Tyrer was awful

Fleming was ok

Spedding was ok

Roby was very good in his short cameo

Lyons was poor

Smith was ok

Forwards were all decent

Lawton conned a try.. Why wait til 15 to go to bring him on?

Defence was ok, but nothing going forward and even Lawton’s try was a double movement.

Not sure where we go from here. A battering against Leigh and on this form a probable loss against Batley.

Players looked dispirited at times - and probably the travelling fans too!!

Roby has to start at fullback in the next game. I’d be tempted to play Owens in the halves.

Fair assessment and now a new coach to bring some French flair. 🥖🥖

Another joke of a season in the making #finniganout

Baker is wasted at prop and we need Craven back, who may offer something different in the half-backs. Tilleke should be given a game, but agree that any chance of a play-off spot is disappearing fast. 

Anyone predicting a win against Leigh!!!!

In the last 2 game’s Finnegan has brought Davies on for the first time after 60 minutes , and tonight Lawton after 55 minutes. Other teams spell their forwards after 20 minutes. And as I said the other day, we should play Roby at full back and Owens at half back instead of Lyons. 
And what’s happened to Tyrer, he’s been rubbish the last few matches.

@farnworth-viking I think the batteries in his walkie-talkie need changing

I’d be tempted to play Owens in the stands…

Thats an option but the halves we have aren’t exactly pulling up any trees.

Another waste of time, effort and money.

Owens, Tyrer and Smith should be nowhere near that Leigh game. We looked so much better when Roby came on. 

Finnigan is on borrowed time, hid behind the excuse of last years squad not being his. Well this years is and we’re still rubbish

According to the stats provided, 55% completion and 1 break in the match for us.

Newcastle only had 2 which backs up that we defended reasonably but I think more pertinently that both teams are not that good.

Last 3 away games we have scored 4 at Leigh, 6 at York and 6 yesterday. 

Leigh at home probably won't be pretty, neither will be the crowd for Batley if we are not careful.

Roby and Lawton need to start, maybe try out Owens at Half Back, or even Addy if he is still here and if Brown is fit. Oh, and actually have an interchange hooker so Fozard isn't shattered by the 60th minute!

Re the hooker situation - Can only assume that Finnigan lacks confidence in Liam Hulme and Dec Gregory which isn’t great (if true) considering they joined the club on his watch.

I take the completion rates with a pinch of salt - even with a 100% completion rate, the way Widnes have been moving the ball it would make no difference.
