Gateshead vs Sheffield : Thu Apr 16, 2009 8:59 pm  

Great game on Sky. Anyone watch it.

Plenty of Huddersfield interest.

Sam Barlow played well for Sheffield as did Bolo got a good try but struggled with high kicks. Plus Gateshead had Thorman at no 6 playing full back.

Ayee. I watched it.

Thought Gateshead deserved the win in the end.
Although Sheffield did well to get back in to it.
Gateshead still hung on!

I also thought Sam Barlow had a good game running hard and getting a well deserved try.
Bolo on the other hand, had a good game but seemed a bit shakey. Needs to deal better with those kicks!

Plenty of points and it could have gone to Sheffield at the death.

Weird game. Thought the ref did okay as well.

Good game for us neutrals. Thought Gateshead were great in the first half but fell away in the 2nd and thought they was going to lose it but hung on in there to win.

Bolu doesn't have the little something extra a man of his size needs to cut it in the top flight IMO. But he's a solid NL player; the break he made late in the 2nd half last night showed he's got heart alright.
