I'm already looking forward to the game, I hope we can take that form into the game, if so we should win quite comfortable

Think you might have a false sense of security from the past two games against and amatuer team and a very very poor toulouse side.

Or that's just what you're hoping.

The season wont be won on Thursday, it's early doors yet and we are still finding our feet. I fully expect us to beat Halifax come Thursday but i wouldnt be to surprised if it ended in a close defeat.

It will be there cup final, a big crowd in attendance (will they top 1,500??? )

And has that stand been finished yet?

Only one good thing come out of Halifax and that's littlerich who's seen the light and become a lancashire chap.

I won't be disheartend if Fax sneak it, but anything can happen fully expecting Bob to have a stormer and smithy likewise glad we are on the telly tends to add to our performance

Disgusting remark. I spit in your general direction.

You're right about our crowds though - disappointing. Once the East Stand eyesore has been completed (December'09?) i think attendances will increase - especially after an NRC trophy in the cabinet, sitting alongside our first GF trophy. It's going to be one hell of a ride over the next three years - especially with the Vikings hanging onto our shirt tails

A Halifax win by 8 points.

Widnes by 36.

That's the key. In the last two or three season's we've almost done it at the end but have been undone by full-time clubs. Despite your points deduction last year - look where you ended up in the table. Widnes are clear favourites this season but i hope we (and a couple of other clubs) will take it right down to the wire and show the RFL that this competition has plenty of value.

That's what we need, a strong competition and not one team winning by a cricket score each week they play (but as a lifelong Widnes fan i still want us to win each week ).

Not too bothered as long as we don't get hammered. I'll point to the season when Cas went up and we were awesome until July but ran out of steam. Not the time of season to be peaking.
