Finished 14-42.  A very poor performance.

No excuses for are boys today but there was a few big names not playing today, was told Jack Owens was taken to France, Alex Brown still out should be back with us for the next game all being well, Danny Price who has been playing outstanding out injured, Adam Lawson played his first game in weeks so match fitness still not 100%. was told there was lot of changes to team sheet and some of are u16's was playing. so with all that we might not have been at are best. cant win them all and today was 1 of them days we didnt win.good luck with the next game lads.

[John S]

Its amazing where people get their info from. Who passes on such inaccuracies?
There were NO Under 16s in the squad and to be honest despite some players missing there was NO excuse for conceding over 40 points again.  The next training session should be interesting!!!

We were poor to sat the least .However credit must also go to Fev who ran the hearts out and played some good rugby

Well said. Fev played as a team and fully deserved their win.

[rugby11]

fev played well on the back of a good win against sheffield and their team spirit came through, widnes on the other hand were poor on the back of a few poor perfomances, simply not good enough and no team spirit.

Did adam lawton play at stand off once our first choice 6 got injured. Once our original stand off went off lawton seemed to be first receiver every play. That pass he does just on the line is a peach because he sucks so many defenders in.

Doesn't matter how well he passes the ball or how skilfull he is because when you are that out of shape you will never progress

didn't think he was the only one who looked of the pace on saturday mate. Will be interesting to see how he goes in a few weeks because prior to breaking his leg he was one of the better performers in the team

I agree he was, but while he's been out injured he looks like he has been on a diet of maccies and beer. He looks miles off just yet which is a shame because he is very talented, has all the skill, pace, physical size to make a real impact in the game. He won't be the first not to realise his potential because of poor application which will be a an absolute travesty. There are less talented lads in that 18's team that obviously work much harder than him.

Nearly 3 months out and back training for only 2 weeks hope he gets stuck back in and show us all what he can do.

Dont think any one of the team played well on Saturday. Hope they have all had a shake up at training this week and get back to playing as a team - communicating and winning.

Lawton is a talented player but needs to lose lots of weight.Same wiv Jack Smith.Don't t training staff tell them?
