Big win for Widnes and a statement made to start the season. They're my dark horses for 2025.

Anyone know why Donaldson was put on report? Looked like a ticking off for lifting but he pulled out when he realised but nothing more?

Yeah an explanation of the closed terrace would be appreciated. Some miffed supporters around me.



Shout out to Waqa Blake who was my Mom yesterday. Awesome assist for Taufua's try and thought he was one of the few with plenty of energy. Another comedy value bit of business by the club.

No idea why the terracing was taped off. Nothing communicated - not a great way to do things by the club.



I can only assume it was to get people more concentrated, whether that was to reduce stewarding costs or to get a better atmosphere I don't know. If it was the latter then it was a daft idea. People who want to sing along can still stand near those that do it if they want. The rest don't want to be forced to do it. Our normal spot was taped off - we just happened to be in the stand this time. I wouldn't be happy being forced to stand somewhere else.



Blake looks like an amazing bit of business, agree his assist for Taufua was real class. We've not had a right centre this good for years.

Doing things like this with no explanation is a great way to p**s supporters off.

You're getting old Sam. Seems like you & me are considerrwably older than the others on here. Or just have better taste.
