I think we can hold on to him for at least a month, RFL rules.
TF and the wire said of the Widnes Vikings....Best in the World.

Yep much better and Grayshon looks a real handful, a decent bit of business from the club. Overall a much better team effort and some crunching defence. A little flakey out wide but that can be worked on.

FANTASTIC
Couldn't agree more

Get in!!! That was the performance we have been waiting for the whole of this season. I had to leave ten minutes before the end to go and watch the Doves at Delamere forest but it was class particularly in the first half.
In the first 5 mins we were subjected to attack after attack from Fev due mainly to slip ups by our players but the defence was excellent. After that we really pushed on. The aggression from our players was fantastic.
Gannon, Morrison, Fletcher, Pickersgill and Doran all got stuck in with great effect and Varkulis is really finding his feet at second row.
Good try taken by Grayshon awell. Very strong.
They moved up in a line on defence and the Fev forwards did not want the ball after a number of punishing tackles. We also moved the ball to Penny well and Hall and Penny look like they are developing a useful understanding.
Webster and Thackray enjoyed themselves out there with willing runners and even Doran looked committed running the ball in.
Smith scooted well from dummy half and Koe Love showed class with the ball in hand taking his try exceptionally well.
Next week poses a much sterner test. It's a real shame that the game isn't being played at home as I think that would make a massive difference but we should go there with a bit more belief.

I think it's important that we hang on to Pickersgill and Grayshon for the rest of the season, if possible, and hope we don't get injuries to Fletcher, Morrison or Smith. Our pack it clearly getting there now.
I'm not sure if they are a match for Halifax yet, but we must now stand a great chance of turning them over next week. However, we'll have to make sure that left-hand side of defence slides better and stays tight. We seemed to end up with the three worst defenders scattered all over the place and isolated, having to make one on one tackles when out numbered.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back! Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!
