Thackeray wants Vikings success

Widnes half-back Anthony Thackeray says there is more to come from the Vikings as they prepare for the Northern Rail Cup next month against Barrow.

Thackeray scored a hat-trick of tries in the 27-22 victory over Halifax on Sunday in the semi-final.

"We're still not finished, we can still produce better," Thackeray told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"We're just happy to get there. We've got another game next week before [the final] but we're happy to be there."

The 23-year-old thinks he is now showing his true form at present.

He said: "I said it at the beginning of the year, I've had a slow start to the season. But that's what I'm about and I'm happy as long as we win.

"We've worked hard for this for a couple of months now its a big game for us - it's massive."
