So who went? How did we go? Couldnt get down today and only heard bits on Radio Warringon.

Blake Austin looked good as did Mamo, Walker, Sita. Toby King has put some muscle on which I think he needed No injuries and a good run out.

Austin looks like the player we saw in the highlights reel from Oz, a good start for him and a hell of a sidestep.

Lineham looks quick and enthusiastic, impressed with Mamo & young Walker and Ratchford looks to have been practicing his kicking.

A good run out against a very keen Widnes team

That was a very different Akauola from last season.

I was disappointed by the spoiling tactics of Widnes. After all it was a friendly, so why not play rugby? We, not surprisingly looked disjointed at times. Things can only get better.

Widnes have a very serious agenda...and playing attractive rugby isn't on it. It's about how to get back into SL and for a very long period proved they have it right.
No complaints from me.

What was the score?

Tried to get coverage on the way back from a trip to outlaws without success

I thought Widnes were the best team for the first 35 minutes. Cooper was excellent in his second spell and Westwood put in a strong shift making good ground. Sita made some excellent carries but we saw last season that this was often marred by laziness or poor discipline - jury still out for me. Mamo and the rest of the outside backs looked sharp and Austin looked a class act with a huge boot on him. Also thought Danny Walker had a great game off the bench. Solid debuts for Clark and Tasi too.

Well done from a Widnes fan

Seeing your team today I was seriously worried about a 70-80 point hammering. 6 of our 7 starting back line today came through the academy so that’s some achievement. Hopefully look a little bit more threatening with Inu and Gelling bask. Liam Hood will be key to get us back.

Only a friendly but once your lot gel together, they’ll take some stopping. One last question, where do you see Mamo slotting in? Will he be reserve or possibly a centre spot along with Goodwin ?

I thought it decent enough and have no complaints regarding the contribution from Widnes sure it was a friendly but too friendly and it can lose a bit of value IMO.

As far as new players go Austin looks interested and part of the team I'm hopeful he'll fulfill his promise great step and shoulder dip to inject pace. I enjoyed Walker's cameo performance definitely brought that 'mongrel' with him that he used to wind up Hill butv out of our new starters Mamo looked the part he'll be challenging for a place on that form and great options for FB Wing and possibly Centre? I didn't see enough from Clark or Tasi TBH but with Westwood still making an impact and Akuola and Philbin running hard off the bench they'll have a bit of opportunity to play themselves in.

Can't wait for the season to start NTW

No idea about Mamo he'll be threatening a few positions along the backline if he continues that form. Talking of backline's I couldn't believe how young yours looked and how well they stood up which must give you some optimism for next year?

I know most fans would prefer to be in SL but the Championship will be an interesting league good luck
