Widnes were 24-6 down when I first looked.

They need to win tonight, they've let everybody in for nowt, will look a bit stupid if they lose. But with Steve McCormack at Gateshead he'll be wanting a win.

Bit OT but I wonder if steve Mc will look at Taking Fat Boy Nanyn to Gateshead, he aint had a look in at Quins, and has followed McCormack about before and been involved in the scotland set up.

Eagles 56 Toulouse 12
Widnes 46 Thunder

Even if Widnes do win, can see a few more fans getting upset

5,236 in attendance at Widnes. Free entry but we'd NEVER get that.

Depends.

If we went into every school in halifax and gave away Free tickets to the kids, with free entry to an adult with them, then I am sure we would get a pretty hefty crowd, depending on the visitors an perhaps it would be a good marketting ploy, although it would be costly and would wind up some of the season ticket holders (not me).

I think Widnes have already told season ticket holders that if they renew they will have £14 deducted from the cost to compensate for this match.

Final scores

Sheffield Eagles 58
Toulouse 12

Widnes Vickings 46
Gateshead Thunder 30

Sheffield are on fire at the moment and that could be a turning point for Widnes coming back from 24-0 down.

This just proves that we need to get our spark back and start playing like we were a few weeks ago.

Can`t see us geting our spark back for the next match.Whilst most people think a week off will do them all good I have reservations about it.
If they were all going on training camp together and having a bit of light training and focusing their minds on these big matches coming up I would think differant.But as most are just going away I fear they will lose the focus and they will still be on their jollies when they get back.
I hope I am wrong as they deserve the break.
