Since nobody seems to be bothered

I'm going for a close fought battle, but victory by 8 points on Mothers Day,Eagles send mothers home happy,

I'm going for a close fought 22-22 draw, Menzie crossing on the hoofer to level up the scores.

Forget the hooter Griff,Get the hoofer out!!!!

Gary Megsons style of play has took over ESO already

(Football again,Ever so sorry

)

Despite a loss of recent form I think Halifax will still be a top 4 side and the Eagles won't.

Sadly Halifax to win with bonus point being a close affair.

Watch out, the totalrl forum police will be back.

How many times will the good doctor use the phrase "morally wrong" on hospital radio during this game?

0-5: 5/1
6-10: 21/10
11-15: 7/5
15+: 1/10

I'll get us back on topic



Sheffield Eagles 24
Halifax RLFC 32

Attendance: 1,680

Man of the Match: Jason Crookes

Will be a close game but think sadly Fax will edge it. I hope i'm wrong because our front row is excellent and our backs are now coming together nicely and hopefully will have gelled together.

Dont think they'll be many from Halifax coming,If memory serves correct,Wernt they going to boycott this game over the Barlow affair



How much would you pay for a jukebox hit on Worrincy,Priceless i'll tell the.

It was funniest when the man mountain himself Bolu Fagborun absolutely destroyed him when we beat them at the Shay a couple of seasons ago, completely off the ball but the merry whistle blower waved play on, priceless. Would love Menzie to crunch him, he'd probably trip over his wallet before Menzie got there though.

The more times I watch that Fagborun "tackle" the more amazed I am he got away with it.

He was committed, pal.

Thought you'd've spotted that.

Although, after the SY Cup Final, perhaps not.

Yep he was definitely comitted

Ok he was comitted

I got an award for doing that game!

More than the team did ...

Where was the Cup ?

Can see this one going either way. Either you guys get on top early and grind away a close fought victory. Or Fax go all guns blazing for their first win of the season and roll you over. Whatever the result it will be an interesting and exciting game!

What a fanastic win all the boys pull together not only to hang on but to hit back again and again - pity a couple of soft tries - and whats up with Yere hope he's not injured or anything....

Drop goal -killer touch!

Guess what - the fansare calling for Callard's head! If the ask sam niicely he'll take it off for them he tried to take everyone elses off today

Thought Wood and Henderson are playing really well the main reason we are winning

Qoute from Fax forum.............
Why is it that so many players come to Halifax and become rubbish? For example, Sheffield were mad as hell when they lost Worrincy and then Barlow to us. Who amongst them would have them back now? I was praying that Barlow would get sent off today as we would have been more effective without him and conceded fewer penalties. He is just a thug and walks into every tackle.

Has he been found out ?

Thought we were absolutely awesome, 1-17. Barlow never in the game, only good for giving away penalties, I'm actually glad we got rid now, absolute idiot. Worrincy was also anonymous bar a walk-in, Holroyd was ok to say it was his 73rd birthday.

Thought Henderson was brilliant again, the control he gives us around the ruck is a real asset, and his pace scooting from dummy half is unplayable at times. Halfbacks were fantastic, Woody's best game this season and Simon Brown's kicking game just gets better and better. Forwards all put a big shift in, particularly Alex Rowe, and Eddie Battye is only going to improve with time, glad to see him getting a regular shirt, almost makes it worthwhile losing Liam Higgins.

Atmosphere was the best it's been at home for aaaaaaages, but what in the name of God was that mascot?!

I wouldn't have either of them back purely on principle, however I think we have much better forwards than Sam Barlow now, and after seeing how ineffective Worrincy was today...I'd tend to agree with them!!

Also, I'm completely unsure what is a realistic target for us now, after the NRC games I was thinking a top six place would be an achievement and we may end up finishing closer to the bottom than the top, now I'm thinking we could even push for top two!

Not going to say we will finish top but i will stick my neck out and say i think we'll be in the grand final

Injuries,Dual reges being available i think this seasons is the best chance of any,Kyle Wood was awesome,Him and Brown are getting an understanding and improving together either game,All the backs looked good,Eddie Battye when one door shuts another opens,Regulary coming off the bench and 1st team game time will only improve him,Nice to see a youngster given the opportunity,Joe Hirst the most improved player in the squad was great but dont know what he was doing for that try in the 1st half when he should have just carried on running

Hendo is quality as always,Really enjoyed it,Need more fans and super league could become a reality in 2015,We have the team and the set-up,just need them coming through the gate.

Is KidE now Cartlton Palmer what's he done to his head
