Did what was required. Yeaman excellent, as was Michaels - tough to drop him next week. Taylor though. Two massive plays from him to seal the game. What a player.

This^^^^^ we struggle when the ruck is slowed down, as in the last 3 games. Once we get a roll on we'll score. Ref had a mega brain fart tonight, allowed them to lay all over us then gave 4??? consecutive penalties to them on our line. The pen against Yeamo was idiotic, Widnes winger pushed him back into the play the ball

Widnes didn't stand square all night and seemed to have the measure of the referee better than us. Teams now know - slow down the ruck and they've got a chance.
Yeaman MoM by a long long way and I never ever thought i'd say that.
Good to see that we yet again got the win when things were looking in the balance at halftime, and dominated the 2nd half. The recruitment of younger, bigger and fitter players is also having a big impact as we aren't tiring during games and our injury list has been fairly small so far
Disapointed with the crowd though, top of the league 12 wins from 13, only 1 home game since April and no further home games for another 3 weeks, not sure what the couple of thousand who have gone missing in the last few years need to see really?

Really poor first half, After Yeamans try we really kicked on and played like we can. Thought Yeaman, Taylor and mini were excellent. Micheals 110% and will be a good signing next season for someone, thought Carlos did some nice things. Fonua defended excellently but had a nightmare with ball in hand. Ruck was slow which suited them, next week both teams will want a fast one and if that happens if should be a cracking game.

As I explained in another thread, regaining fans after years of disappointment isn't going to happen in the "couple of thousands" certainly not in the short term. There are lots of reasons why some supporters will not attend, to pass comments as to where they are is fruitless. If they come back they come back, if they don't they are missing out.

Give it a rest. Please explain what "have the measure of the referee" actually equates to. Complete clichéd clap trap. Both teams pinched a yard on a generous 10 all night.
I can see why people like Carlos at 6, but for me him and snyed are not gelling together. It's early days I know, but we are heading into a vital period of the season and on that 1st half we won't win anything. At times they wasn't on the same page and our attack ended up painfully slow and broke down. What carlos does have is what Pryce had years ago which is pace to cut through a gap if play stops.were trying to go wide far to early without getting momentum going in the forwards. Pryce has better managment of the forwards and will inject himself into the game when gaps appear. For me pryce comes back in next week for the experience as we can't start that sloppy again. Carlos to the bench I actually like the idea of. The pace and elusiveness could be the difference late on. Experimenting with key positions at this stage is dangerous

I am 1 of the couple of thousand who has gone missing.I bought my pass but have not been since Easter Monday as I have personal problems to sort out which far outweigh the rugby.People have other reasons not to attend so until you know the facts why,you can't really comment
