You don't have a clue do you? Gateshead aren't a bad side.

While it's a game we should win, it's also a game that will probably be used to rest a few players with knocks. This will mean that a hammering is unlikely.

A few NL clubs came close in the last round to beating SL sides. Gateshead are as good as any of these on their day and have just signed a few NRL ringers in. Are they allowed to play?

Average SL sides, not the mighty S men. I'm not being arrogant and i dont think it will be a huge score, but they arn't Halifax who are blazing a trail through the championship, they are mid table.

The days of NRL ringers being any good died on the ar$e the day Salford signed Paul Carige and Sainst signed Damien Smith.

English mentalities always make me laugh. This match is akin to the Australian cricket team taking on Zimbabwe in Bulawayo. I dont think you would hear any member of The Fanatics seriously entertain anything other than a big win.

With or without some of our bigger names, we should beat Gateshead at a canter - indeed, as was displayed in the friendly at Widnes when several younger players stared when they were dispatched of mercilessly.
