Don't forget some grass seed too!!

And possibly some forks (and buckets for the sandcastle competition).

and an ambulance for when the beast is 'un-leashed'

Did the Eagles go in at ht? I don't think they cud, they were stuck 2 the pitch. Wow what a terrible pitch. Anyway what a shame we didn't take at least a point away from this game. Our defence was outstanding in the second half, they must av had 5 sets on our line n didn't score. All our boys worked so hard but nothing seemed to go right in the second half. I nearly had a fight wi this old women, I swear I nearly lamped her 1, she'd def got beef wi me. Gawd n I'm just sooo not violent. Haha. Hope Jacks ok, looked like a shoulder injury.
32 - 26

Your lads were 2 or 3 knock-ons from winning today.

You will be up there this season, look forward to our next game against you.

Thought we were excellent first half, really unlucky to be going in at half time at 12 all. Halifax had 5 back to back sets on our try line in the second half and that did for us, we defended them all superbly but it ultimately tired us out and lost us the game, then we allowed silly errors to creep in. We should've really been able to see the game out with a 14 point cushion in the second half, but never mind. Couple of very strange decisions by Mr Leahy and his merry men today, not sure what happened when the touchy put his flag up from the drop out, and definitely not sure why the game restarted with a PTB. Sayeed Tamghart should have been sent off for the punch to Ged's face, instead of just a yellow card, and I'm not entirely sure Ashley Thackeray dropped the ball, and Fax score the winner from the resulting scrum. Yet ANOTHER bonus point, we still haven't lost a game by more than 12 points in the league since this rule came in.

We'll be there or there abouts this season, I'm still hopeful of a top two finish.

God I forgot abt the BP! I agree about Ashley, I didn't think he knocked on either. What a cracking game, n tbh there's nothing really in the 2 teams. We look the business this season. Craig Cooks is such a great player as are all the lads this season from what we've seen up2 now. It was a really entertaining match. Well worth the £5 I paid for me n Ella. A women gave us some tickets just as we were going in. £15 is a lot to stand.

They certainly did. I actually applauded that defensive effort. Thought a draw would have been a fairer result. Very very impressed with Sheffield. Onwards & upwards !

Blacks disallowed try in 1st 10 mins was a try.

He chased through and grounded the ball 1 yd inside the deadball area, I was sat in the stand right next the dead ball line and it was definately a try.

Last time out at the shay I struggled to count 1 error from Sheff, today at least 15

I think we are owed an explanation behind the mysterious decision not to award Sheffield a scrum when the linesman flagged for one.

Ash didn't knock-on, and he was our best player. Tamghart threw and landed a punch, and wasn't red carded?

No complaints about the effort, terrific game to watch.

He merely came on because he thought we had 14 players on the pitch. No offence - just a restart. Halifax can't be blamed for a brainfart of a touch judge.

He was "yellowed" - after reacting to having his head torn out of his neck socket.
A red would have been harsh.

Didnt go to the game but you can take a lot by results and i think both teams will be contesting the top four spots,Keighley whipping boys and Batley/Rams not far behind,Surprised woodcock didnt play,but reward for Thackeray who would have been the easy option to drop,Some managers ususally take the the easy option,Mark has dropped the leading pointscorer for the last 5 seasons,Respect.

Top marks top your medical staff - you couldn't see the join.

That all came from your lot constantly throwing the fists and swinging arms in to the tackle. Said was out of order but Kojak (or whatever his name is) was handing out a right facial on the ground which is why he got lamped.

Never did trust that Telly Savalas

Kojak

Kojak or is it columbo anyway they need







Worrincy.

Checked my refs book. If the touchie came on because he thoug fax had too many players, then play should have been restarted with the drop out again. His flag went up when the ball went close to the line which probably confused everyone.

The hit on Tamghart may have been high but you still can't throw punhes in retaliation, if it happened in a game I was reffing it would have been a red for him and on report for the tackle.

I don't see it as Johnny being dropped, i see it as Ash keeping him out of the side with excellent performances. To say we ran fax close and maybe should have won shows just how far we have come in recent years. I hope all matches are as good as that one, thrilling stuff.

Your not old enough to remember kojak!

Not old enough to remember one of their recent ex-players, apparently.

How soon we forget!!

Was an excellent game and well done to Halifax

good game and think eagles will have big say this season with less bonus points and more wind.

At least we made it into one.
