Friday night, 7.30 @ DVS.

Important we get back on track after last week's disappointment, sure we will get the three points but performance is important too.

Eagles 52-6 Hunslet

MoM: Q
Att: 576

Can you get me a programme? Cheers.

I'm not in it this week so not worth bothering with.





There's only one programme for the last two home games btw.

Mr Thomason (again). Balmy evening forecast so harder work for the bigger boys.

Disappointed if we don't win by at least 30 so I'll say 42 - 10

Poor crowd again as it's in the middle of most people's hols 617

HL WON'T win the half time draw



MOTM - Q

Q to get at least one try and a new club record. Eagles to win by 30 points.

Why couldn't we have him last week ?





More people are on holiday than not on holiday ?

I would imagine that more people were away on holiday last and will be this week than were before the schools broke up. People do tend to go on holiday in the summer - maybe that's why they call them the summer holidays.

Claim appropriately watered down ....

Total tosh, you do talk rubbish lots of the time - I dunno whether you think you are being funny but in my opinion I don't think you are so I'll speak to you face to face next time I see you.

It's the main weeks for Sheffielders and maybe people from the Leeds area to take their annual holidays. If they are at the coast or abraod they are unlikely to attend the game so less people attending is likely to mean a lower crowd.

Don't let him wind you up Dave, I think he gets some sort of kick out of drawing a reaction from people. Sarcastic, patronising wind up merchant!

Not a problem!

I am old and big enough to sort out issues face to face, we have been talking for 1000s of years but electronic forums are quite new so sometimes the old ways are the best and I will pursue any issues via that method. I find that you get less confusion face to face.

Go on Airbourne.

Thanks.

Thing is Griff, you're clearly an intelligent bloke, you've got an excellent job, you obviously know your RL, so I don't really understand why you sometimes act like such a muppet on here! Picking up on every little error like anybody cares!

Anyway, back on topic, big game tonight, I know we're always told to never take the oppo lightly (that's short for opposition Griff) but I'll be disappointed if we don't clock up a half century tonight. Nothing more than a glorified National Conference outfit from what I've seen.

Not wanting to be banned from the forum or from DVS or worse I am considering the matter closed.

Polite request - never do that again.

Apologies.

NP no grudges held

I for one am look forward to the game tonight - I love watching RL in this type of weather. I agree with ESO that it would be nice to get 50 tonight and without showing Hunslet too much disrespect it is achieveable.

HT 12-20
Are you guys throwing it or had a wager on Hunslet +38?

First of all, before any Hunslet/any other fans come on saying I underestimated them, I didn't, we were just THAT bad.

Secondly, if we play like that next week, Featherstone will absolutely DESTROY us.

The main thing is we won, you just have to get through these kind of games with the points and put them down as a learning experience. Sure the next week's training will be exciting...

It was rubbish but we won,Shows you how bad the bottom teams are when you are absolutly awful and still win,Hunslet played quite well TBH.

Like the proverbial curate's egg - good in parts. Just struggling here to remember what those parts were. Don't think anyone expected that result.

I think the mickey mouse ref had a hell of a lot to do with you winning the game last night. I'd love to see the penalty count

<chuckle>

I was about to post that Hunslet defended really well and cashed in on their seven sets in a row - four penalties and three tries - and then I read Cottingley Hawk's post.
