Any team predictions for Sunday? I'm working on the basis that Taylor may not quite be fit just yet, and with Tom Spencer coming in as a straight swap for Bibey. Same as last week, otherwise.

1 Gregg McNally
2 Steve Maden
3 Stuart Littler
4 Matt Gardner
5 Dean McGilvray
6 Martyn Ridyard
7 John Duffy
8 Tom Spencer
9 Bob Beswick
10 Rob Parker
11 Sam Hopkins
12 Tommy Goulden
13 Craig Briscoe

14 Anthony Nicholson
15 Ryan Brierley
16 Mike Worrincy
17 Tommy Gallagher

At the LISA meeting Paul said Jimmy is now fit and did not play against Barrow because Jimmy did not think he was sufficiently mentally prepared to be considered for selection.

With regard to Bob Beswick even though he was not fully match fit Paul said he had to play him because there were no other options for him in view of the squad players available.

I'd go with that one too Matt if there's no taylor but if he's fit & going to play I don't know who I'd drop when their all in form oh the choices

I'm looking forward to see the bash brothers back in action together again I bet Goulden's missed Jimmy although it doubt the opposition will have

Not a bad side but if Beswick is not fully fit I would start with Nico at 9 and JT on the bench.

If Beswick isn't fit then I think would think it would be more likely that Brierley would start at half back with Duffy and Nicholson rotating at hooker rather than expceting Nico to play a full 80 minutes.

Not sure but we will soon find out .

That would be my choice too - Duffs to start, then Nico to come on and up the tempo.....much as he did last week!!

I am not going to pick the team this week , as Sam the dog has been up all Thursday night , having bad dreams

, i have decided to bequeath the job to others with a level of intelligence close to mine

.

Brierley and Nicholson on from start. Sheffield good team so we need to make impact early in game. Might be to late in second half against this team.

Sheffield were rubbish against us last season, till THAT play off game. By far the worst team who finished in the play-offs, and that includes Widnes !!
Which Eagles side will turn up, one good enough to beat us ?? Maybe, but not wallop us...........hopefully.
