A disappointing display again. Poor decision making on attack . Only used Lawton on attack once or twice. Why when he rips oppositions to pieces? Our defence on the try line seems to have deteriorated vastly.  However the table does not lie Batley are in the top 5 of the table so over this season are better than us. I cannot help feeling though we are contributing to our own problems on the field.

Got the piss taken out of us by Batley and Tom Gilmore. Another new low.

Though we will be safe from relegation, I think we need to accept that with the current squad, we are a mid table team at best and until the club is in a better place financially, that is what we will remain.

This is no fault of the current administration, but it is (in my opinion) a fact and though injuries are part and parcel of the game, I can not help but think we might do better by signing players who are at least fit when we recruit them.

Why is being beaten by a team that is in 5th place, with 10 wins this season and a scrum half far better than anything we have, a new low? We are a mid-table Championship team at best this season.

We are were we are , through poor recruitment . I don't know what our financial standing is but with one of the better fan bases in the League and VIQI to boost our revenue , we cannot put the squad issues down to money .

Whoever is making the call on which players we recruit isn't doing a good job , it's as  simple as that.

Come on Frank. A scrum half far better than we have? Gilmore did nothing at Widnes for many years. All he did today was unload to oncoming big forwards. He never makes a break himself. Forward size & lack of them is our biggest problem. Smith is a far better scrum half. I know he is at loose forward but Lyon IMO is progressing well. Our backs are pretty much OK for this level.     Personally I do not want Gilmore back thank you!

Thing is, put Gilmore in our team today and Lyons in their team, Batley still win.It's the sum of the parts.

Congratulations to Spelly on the Swinton win. Bet they are looking forward to playing Widnes in September. Will we win another game this season?

Nor do I, but why would he want to leave a top 5 team for Widnes? Lyons is an average Championship player in an average Championship team.

What  was that team selection all about, three props on the bench but none starting ?

I’m starting to wonder whether a change of coach is necessary.

Once again Widnes proved that they are "Part Time" players, at least they did score in the second half.    Simon has got to work on the players work ethic.
