The two played in the same Widnes team before Hughes became Chemics coach and then quit in disgust when Lydon was sold to Wigan for pounds 100,000 in January 1986.

Several firms give the Chemics just a four-point start, which doesn't look enough against the improving Black and Whites.

I could not believe that a club like the Chemics - who have Super League ambitions - could afford to release class players like the Hulmes.

The Chemics will wonder how different it could have been if a John Devereux try had not been disallowed for a forward pass.
