no he didn't - you can only take EGP on gradings A-C and initially Sneyd was charged on Grade D

Interesting, I wasn't aware the grading affected the egp!

First game ive missed in a long while due to being on hols but kept upto date with the game abroad on social media and thought when ferres got sent off it would be an uphill struggle

but to my delight we got the win, a big win at that over at widnes which is a hard place to win at...delighted!!

how did simpson go again?

sounds like taai and hughes were the best players for us

seen the highlights of the tries, looks like i missed a good day out with the travelling fans too!

simpson was mainly well marshalled, and the victim of some big hurtful hits by some of the widnes forwards, but on the whole stood up well again, robbo was back to his best buzzing around, but the best thing for me was the spirit, we could have easily crumbled time and again, but we grew stronger every time widnes scored

at 30-16 the score didn't flatter us one bit!

Simpson had one bad early error but did not dwell on it and showed up well again, Leeming did well too.

The support was decent but I am sure if Widnes fans had got behind their team a bit more it would have been even better. Widnes were for me the loudest and most vocal fans at Newcastle the lack of atmosphere on Sunday was a bit of a let down but perhaps they are saving themselves for tomorrow and ready to out shout and turn over Saints
