Tony Fax wrote:God knows why Widnes call themselves the Vikings anyway. For a start, the vikings never went anywhere near Widnes (understandably). And furthermore, the Vikings were notorious for pilaging and raping, not to mention they invaded our great land and were our brutal enemies. So an extremely sick nickname if you ask me. What would YOU think if Halifax were called "Halifax Rapists" or "Halifax Nazis". Same thing innit?.
Take it you either know nothing on history OR are taking pee! Try looking at the meaning of Widnes. You can add the Angles, Saxons, Normans, Celts amonst other tribes who raided and pillaged England in the past. Then again England has invaded America, India, Australia, NZ, Africa etc and committed similar acts to the Vikings. In fact probably about every nation and tribe on earth has committed such acts in its history!

Yes, I think we could have given you a game, if it had gone ahead on the original date. (the day after you play Cas'!!) From what we are hearing in the press, at Leigh, you are about to be handed a colossal advantage, when the game is to be played!

If i'm hearing right (three day turnaround for you) then that's ridiculous, even if it is to our advantage.

Yes, it's on a 'blank' weekend for both of us (unless you beat Cas) - but ours is only 'blank' beacuse our game has been brought forward to Thursday, for SKY. So, if things stand, you get a ten day rest, before playing us!

Don't give a toss about the South, paulifax, did the Vikings actually settle in WIDNES? I think not, as confirmed by Vikingman's silence on this delicate matter. Am I right? I'M NOT WRONG!

You didn't play Thursday-Sunday though, did you? Let's not forget that we had to go to Toulouse the Saturday following the Easter games, and then had to play Fev at home 4 days after coming off the plane!
