good result, Widnes kept us honest from the little I managed to listen to. Can't comment on the game until i watch it back on FCL. Now for the biggest test of the season so far at the pies.

Very good attacking spell after half time, enjoyable and expansive. Kelly got man of the match deservedly and was really targeted, but Mini was excellent also, a real rampage of a game from him. Another 2 points, decent start.
Pretty professional performance overall tonight and a comfortable win in the end. A fairly tepid start but we got into gear eventually and then a bit of a disjointed last 15/20 minutes after Kelly went off. Need to start better than that against the Pies next week though. Hopefully Carlos and Kelly aren't serious knocks. Anyone hear Radders post-match?
Thought we were slow to start, but the performance in the 2nd half was good. Next week is a big test, not expecting a win but hope we can at least run them close

Don't think you can ever go to the Piedome expecting to win. It'll be a good barometer of where we're at.
job done, expected a response from widnes after their defeat last week, patience in the first half then blew them away with 3 quick tries to kill the game
as for widnes, sorry, wont be missed if they go down, especially after watching their tactics of head hunting, houston the main culprit, no surprise really seeing who their coach is
Good flowing rugby tonight and defence as usual was brilliant. A little lapse early on for their 1st try and their 2nd was a bit scrappy, but other than that they didn't really threaten, and it was only giving away the odd penalty that stopped them from kicking from their own half every time. Kelly adds another dimension to this team with his running game. Defenders stand off him cause they don't know if he's going to run or pass. The confusion he causes defences is brilliant.
While I wouldn't be suprised or overly disappointed for us to come up short, I'm confident we'll definitely give Wigan a good tough game next weekend.

Looked flat but losing Carlos then Kelly knocked us. Dirty from Widnes clearly trying to take Kelly out the game, was took out nowhere near the ball twice.
Thought Chris Green had an excellent game, Mini too.
