After the Broncos received a mighty scare against the lads from the other Keepmoat dressing room, we can take a bit of hope that we'll go one better. Hopefully we don't panic as much when we get into good attacking situations, had quite a few chances that we bombed at Dewsbury.
We'll put up a good fight I'm sure but I think we may just lose out in this one..

Prediction - Sheffield 20-26 London

Wider pitch and something to prove against these parachutists 25 : 20 to the Eagles!

Really looking forward to this one.
Will we score in a different manner to kicks in-goal from Kyle Briggs? ( That means scoring a try after the kicks )



With a certain Andrew Henderson knowing about our players - and the youngsters - team selection and tactics should be of interest.

Even though there are slightly more daylight hours/time will the floodlights get switched on so we can win under floodlights before the very important games at the end of the campaign?

With a 4.15 pm ko. following on from the 8pm. will the latest information have a bearing [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-30957720Whaddya Reckon?[/url

I hope London Broncos do well this campaign - but lose 3 times to us.

Broncos seemed to make hard work of it against Doncaster which gives me hope that we may get a narrow win on Sunday. A word of caution though - on the occasions that my wife, who is now a season ticket holder, has been to watch the Eagles they usually lose (which is why she stopped going)

I hope the floodlights will be on, come the end of the match it will be pitch black !! more worrying is the long term weather forecast both i have read said we are in for an unsettled weekend with rain on Sunday hopefully it wont be too bad and the pitch does not get too muddy Unfortunately I will have to go for a London Win
Sheffield 14 London 18

I had better show my optimism and predict an Eagles home victory.
I checked the young half back pairing Broncos played v Donny and one was 19 yrs and the other is an ex-union player.They may have ran out of steam for the 2nd half when Paul Cooke upped his game.

We'll win this,then the 4.45 pm ko game at the Summer Bash in Blackpool,and then the 3pm start at The Hive in July.

Hopefully that is the last of my predictions and all are correct.

London Broncos preview here: wp.me/p3JxPK-vb Thought it was weird that Keyes-Thomas were the halves, and Foran wasn't in there.

Dave Merrick is the referee for Sunday's fixture.

Hope he's better than the one we (London) had on Sunday!!

Narrow victory if we frame ourselves.

Who are Dons playing in the curtain raiser ?

Another safe,and certain,prediction from me.



He will have a far more enjoyable game to referee,than Mr Thomason will have,without resorting to the plethora of yellow and red cards which will be used at Halifax...

RFL cutting down on travel expenses again ......

If they are that desperate for money they should just follow the example of the FA [url=http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/22/aston-villa-fined-leicesterHERE[/urland fine Leigh Centurions each and every week.



Staying (nearly) on thread - Hope London beat them home and away.Interesting,perhaps,that both clubs coached by a former hooker - with Hendo assisting the better of the two.

Doncaster are playing Featherstone should two interesting close games unfortunately the met office still predicting horrible conditions for playing rugby on Sunday

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:
Colder on Friday and Saturday with chilly winds bringing further showers, turning to snow at times over hills. Sunday, becoming wet and windy with gales and heavy rain moving in.

Updated at: 1522 on Wed 18 Feb 2015

We shouldn't be starting till March.

Apart from the weather forecast,the Keepmoat pitch didn't appear in the best of condition for the soccer match on Tuesday night.

Need everyone to get behind the players to get them over the line.

It will be a well-timed psychological boost to beat a full time team now that our next away opponents have dual registered with Widnes Vikings and whose best 2 players in their last game were Gore and Johnson from Widnes.

Difficult job to prepare for a game against an unknown team.

The winning run starts on Sunday.

The points difference total will be hard reading for Whitehaven fans after this weekend!

I am hoping our new loan signing [url=http://www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news/2015/02/molloy-joins-sheffield-eagles-on-one-month-loanJon Molloy[/url
goes straight in for this game.
He has been a bit unlucky but was at Wigan Academy before Huddersfield and then a quick turnaround at Salford around the time of the sacking of Phil Veivers.
An excellent acquisition.

Broncos go with the same squad as last week - sans Foran.

I like the idea of corporate and personal sponsors - [url=http://www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/grima-names-19-man-squad-for-sheffield-eagles/HERE[/url

Looking forward to seeing how Molloy goes for us. James Webster has said a majority of his squad will be getting a runout during the Easter period, hence the one month loan.

As for the Broncos, if Keyes and Thomas are in the halves for our game then we need to get into their ribs as they're only young lads. Hopefully Briggs/Brambani do a job on them kicking-wise.

Betting Update - My Handicap predictions are very similar to the bookies so I wont be having a bet although i was close to selecting Doncaster but would like to see a few more results this season before risking my hard earned money, Donny are +8 points against Fev with rain forecast so potentially a low scoring game Doncaster played well against London and Fev struggled to beat Hunslet.

In our game London are Favourites by 4 or 6 Points which looks about right and in response to Whitehven's points difference, bradford are 44 point favs which seems a bit high in the rain

Well done Eagles ! Was I the only one to predict a win - admittedly not by so many

I had no right to be so entertained with the cold swirling wind and driving rain;but as I was,thanks to the coaching staff and players.

Big well done to Jon Molloy - not least for remaining so still while Ritchie Mathers remined so worryingly still.

I hope for a full, and as slow as it takes,recovery to Ritchie Mathers.

Quite peeved our MoM conceded 2 silly penalties.Can't keep doing that.

Well done to the supporters for turning out and cheering 'em on! They were pretty good!

Well done to Broncos for playing with such spirit despite the scoreline and having to witness 2 worrying incidents/injuries.

Pleased to see Jon Molloy do well for you. He's had some good games for us, and always scores! What happened with him and Mathers?
