SEASON SAVER

He doesnt make it and we are on the back foot and iwould have feared the worse.

All in all a fantastic all round display from JT including 3 good off-loads in the first 5 minutes

Who said we dont have off loading forwards

Eeh it rattled mi teeth did that one - and warmed the cockles of my heart!

Felt it myself from the north stand awsome.

That was one of the best tackles I have ever seen, it was at the right time and what a difference it made !!!!

Well done for the tackle......And well done Leigh !!!!!!

What a hit that was. Outstanding effort from JT as always, works like a trojan in defence every game he plays and his attacking game was very good today, slipping a few offloads out and gaining good PTB's.

Overall, an excellent team performance. Apart from Sheffield's purple patch of 10-15 minutes the defence was superb, in particularly the scramble defence close to the line.

Watson and Hemmingway linked well and Nanyn always looks a threat close to the line. The pack were superb, Smith and Taylor especially. Good to see Armistead (minus knee bandage) finally looking fit. Backs looked sharp. In fact, Stanton might get a pass soon



Sheffields very own version of Shandy Bass was sat about 6 rows in front of us in the West Stand - all specs and Desperate Dan chin. Full marks for supporting his team, but what a balloon



Good to see Dessie was sat a couple of rows behind us. I'm sure he enjoyed the win but it was hard to see behind the sunglasses and cap

. He may be 51, but he's still looks fit enough for a run out on the wing.

Love it .Come on u leigh! I am close to tears!

I was sure Sheff would score at the end there, until Taylor came from nowhere.....Great match winning tackle.
Thoroughly enjoyed todays game, and quite a good atmosphere.

Also thanks for not singing that flute song

Was he the one who, upon one of their 20m restarts bellowed 'come on eagles, give us a set of s........' only to see their man drop the first pass before getting the 'ix' out

Todays defence was the best i've seen in a long time it was superb at times it goes to show the lads have it in um to both defend and attack in the same match ,great display boys more of the same please

Not heard it in a long while, to be honest (though no doubt it will rear it's head at Barrow now that you've mentioned it

). Shows what a positive atmosphere can do to the players, as I think they really responded to the support they received at 18-18.

That tackle from Taylor really was a season saver though. Had he not made it then I really feared the Seagulls would go right up the other end and pinch it, and then this evening would be a very different story on here!

One and the same - that was classic comic timing

Thought that incident was actually a huge kick in the nads for Sheffield as they thought they'd got through the worst of our pressure, only for us to get the ball back on their 20m!

He dint just tackle him....he seeered straight threw him and left him in two aafes ont deck! Oh and I think had it not been made....we'd a been buggered!

Brilliant atmosthere in the north stand today and the lads responded to it well done to all and lets keep it up

i would sit hobson down and let him watch how a tackle should be executed

any chance of someone (fred) putting the tackle on youtube?

not at my desk top until later (where the match vid is stored) but will consider it (thats posh talk for 'if my ageing brain remembers'

)

Fred I have watched it 10 times anyways I,m off too bed now but it was special and the memory will stay with me a long time.

c'mon Fred i'd like to see it again, all i've got is 1 out of focus shot of the tackle




oh and one of the "aftermath"






Theres only one Jimmy Taylor

Oh dear WBK - were you caught napping then?




I just luurve the look on JT's face - he's deffo saying "Job done"

Just watched it on you tube over and over, never get tired of seeing that!!

Particularly like the slow mo replay

whats it tagged with? I can't find it

I just searched Leigh sheffield and it was about the 6th or 7th down IIRC

Cheers, couldn't see for looking!
