With respect,I think the Gateshead players may consider the Carnegie Challenge Cup quarter final game against Saint Helens,this coming Saturday, as their final.

Sheffield hammer Toulouse, Batley hammer Haven - this league has never been so competitive. No easy games any more. Maybe we have turned the corner, maybe it's a false dawn. Who knows - all we can do is keep the faith.

Maybe the second half performance was also inspired by Simms Cross?

Parading their trophies at half time showed the Vikings team how much you can achieve with teamwork and pride in the shirt.

One Viking player, just back from injury said as they passed in the tunnel "If they can do that then surely we can".

Whatever the reason it worked and must be kept strong in theminds of the players.

On paper we have the best team, hopefully now the players themselves can believe it and also show it.

Good shwo from thunder but the way we turned it around was fantastic. Turning point was easily when Smith went off, I agree we have the best side on paper and now need to kick on and put a string of wins and strong performances together.

Wiiiiiiiiiidnes wiiiidnes wiidnes

PS Good luck at Stains Thunder

FANTASTIC post bang on the money he f ucked our club up with his negative boring predictable rugby. And no one forgets the expansive rugby when we won nr cup in 2007

I remember it well what a season... o yeah thats it didnt we go back to playing down the middle when haven nearly did us and then Danny Brough put his finest dinner jacket on when they played us in the GF and never got one mark or tear in it.

Anyone please answer me that ..

Thank You

Realistic Widnes fan who loves the club and what cullen is starting

And a big thanks to Ste Mac for this...


How the hell were we ever realistically expected to compete under the training schedule laid down by Steve Mac??

Realistically we should be expected to kick on from here and see further improvements.
