You never let us down Stevo well done pal

At half time apparently Cullen said right on their set of 6 all of us just get down the middle. HEY PRESTO widnes come back

GOOD OLD MR PREDICTABLE never changes god im happy today!!

I think anyone who critisies mcCormack are bang out of order.
He did a great service to the club and unfortunatley for him he lost the players in the dressing room this year who let him down.
I had some idiot woman behind me all game calling for Ste's blood claiming he was training the gateshead players to be thugs. He's only been there 2 weeks! Clearly a part time supporter.
Atleast Ste had the decency to applaud the players and home fans at the end of the game.
rant over

I'm sorry but a major part of the reason why we are so poor this season has got a lot to do with McCormack. Its him who picked the players and its to do with him IMO that the training farce was allowed to happen.

Funny how last night he was barking orders to his charges all the time but when he was with us he just looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights. He's probably found his level now and thats with the likes of Gateshead.

However it was nice to see that he was clapping the South Stand after the game and it was also a nice gesture from the Widnes fans to clap him and his team off.

I didn't think he was doing the business at Widnes, but have a lot of time for Steve. A top bloke and will do a good job up at Gateshead.

The same Gateshead that could quite easily have embarrassed us last night? What level does that put us at? Let's not be under any illusion here that this is a very competitive league this year and I think you've done Gateshead a disservice with your comments.

A Gateshead team that after going 24 nil up then went on to concede 46 points with only 6 for. A gateshead team near the foot of the table. Yes they nearly embarrased us but when he hit our straps couldnt live with us. We even bombed two two tries when it was easier to score.

Are Gateshead also 75% full time or is that Toulouse??

No you are right it is Gateshead that are a worse full time effort than ourselves.

Lets not all go OTT no disrespect to Gateshead but with what we have on board we should be pumping this League.

" Return Of The Mac "

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.

Good luck

They will need it

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.
