FT 70 - 0

Taking nothing from Widnes but Toulouse were rubbish. Lack of warm-up games doesn't stop you tackling.

Lets hope they don't fix anything before we get a go at them

It'll be a much better encounter, that's for sure!

Not sure whether or not to pitch up at the game or watch the game on the comp with a few beers

Erm, yes it does. You can't tackle if you're knackered and off the pace. That said - the lack of preparation is wholly their own fault.

As for Widnes - well - that's going to be a toughie next week - despite Widnes's easy ride tonight. It's the first decent side we'll have played - will we be able to step up to the plate?

Erm, no it doesn't. That is basic rugby, not rocket science.

Barrow beat them didnt they? We beat Barrow - Does that mean Barrow are not a decent side? I still have every confidence we have more than enough to beat Widnes

Let's agree to differ. They were unfit tonight. Woefully unfit.

You're right, they looked unfit. Unfit is a lot different to a lack of match sharpness. I'd back Toulouse in the hot weather at their place, but there are a lot of points to be earned away from that time of year.
