Widnes away : Sun Apr 24, 2016 3:47 pm  

Need to tighten our defence up dramatically. Been all over the shop today.

Should be a interesting game on that pitch! Thought Hull's forwards took the juice out of our defence today causing people to be out of position..

Looking forward to this game Up the Trin

Wakefield should win this with a canter.

We (Widnes) have been in diabolical form and show no sign of improving.

Bridge, Brown, Gerrard, Gilmore, Ashall, Farrell and Johnstone all out for the season or the next 3 weeks at least. Looking at playing possible one half back in Mellor as other options are out injured.

Not really, there was an obvious problem that even you could see. We lost Tupou and Simon in quick succession which disrupted us.Then we lost Lyne and that's when we really struggled to handle them.

That is nothing to do with "tightening our defence" but just a series of unfortunate events on the day as far as I can tell.

So Vasty do you consider us to be the finished article defensively ? no room for improvement what so ever ?
I happen to agree that the injuries caused us problems, but we can always improve.
Desire, effort and determination are perhaps the most important factors for a success defensively, we are talking about full time pro players we presume that they can all tackle and position themselves correctly, the most pleasing aspect for me about the team at the moment is that no one can question their effort, it is fantastic to see and worth every penny to watch them give their all for the cause. Their effort cannot be improved on.
Yesterday was a great sporting event, to good committed teams both giving 100 %. Just a pity someone had to lose. Very happy to see the Wakey fans stay to applaud the lads for their efforts.

No excuses needed, we're just not very good.

A banker of a win against Widnes as we are awful.

Nothing to do with what I posted. We can always improve but that was not the issue yesterday IMHO.
