Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

We are lacking in mainly 3 areas. />
1. We need a good and natural full back, like a Gary Broadbent type or even a Johnny Campbell from Batley. We seem to be just throwing centres not even wingers at full back. />
2. We all know we need a very good scrum half because Webster left. />
3. We need some of our forwards back from injury like Haggerty, Pickersgill. Heckenberg needs to raise his game, maybe we should throw Tom Kelly in the side. Our forwards seem to be losing the battle and we have got in that habit of the wingers doing all the drives again. We don't get the ball out enough to our to our wingers and centres in attack and when we do its either to slow or a bad pass. />
On the Cullen thing i am not sure if it is him or the players, other teams seem to be more organised and more enthusiastic. I would give him till the end of at least. Hopefully this is just a blip because of all the injuries and some of the duel reg nonsense. I believe couple of new signings and a Smith or a Coyle and a couple of other players back from injury we will be ok going into the last part of the season. Its Barrow next in about a week and and half enough time to turn it around.
A week is a long time in football?
Keep the faith, we all won't be as angry in a few days. |

Quote ="-VIKINGMAN-"After sticking up for him through the majority of this year im now starting to have doubts. The team that has ran out over the last few weeks havent played to anywhere near there potential. I was expecting a big effort yesterday given the recent results but we got nothing, a lack of faith in the coach?
Im once again left frustrated how a team with the best support and facilities and money etc can once again feck it all up on the pitch. We have seen Cas/Salford/Hull KR steamroll this division and you would think with the infrastructure we have we could do something similar even on a part time basis but oh no this is Widnes!
Credit to Batley, a well oraganised team that will bust a gut for each other and Handforth is a good player. Heckenberg seems a complete waste.
Yes weve had injuries but lets not make excuses, weve been crap nearly all year. />
Im really frustrated and angry, can anyone give me a little bit of hope.................

BTW Steve O'connor left before the end yesterday and had a face like thunder, i wonder if a change of coach is a good thing or bad at this stage?'"
I’m not sure what difference any new coach could possibly make, given the current injury list we have, so sacking PC seems a bit pointless at the moment. Unless they already have a top coach lined up to replace him, which I very much doubt, sacking him could make a bad situation worse. PC managed to turn it round last season, so we know he is capable enough to do it again.
The question is, should we re-new his contract?
Is this the final year of his contract with the club?
If it is, then he needs to make things happen or he’ll be gone – simple as!

I think if Cullen has lost the dressing room then he should leave.If true i would let wilkinson do the job until next season. />
There seems to be a problem somewhere as we are not playing for each other.We need to sign a scrumhalf who can kick goals soon and a decent fullback.If we can not get one i just want the team to do their best.Maybe some hard training the next few weeks is required. |

A goal-kicking scrum half, isn't that a blast from the past.

Mate i have my doubts, and if we get a licence i would want a well known aussie coach.They would have to have a good track record.Cullens contract runs out this year so he needs to turn it around which i hope he does.
