Statistics and Betting Update
Interesting but very tough game for us today if we repeat the perfomance of last monday we have a slight chance however Leigh have only lost once (was at the keepmoat) since the beginning of last season they have won every match this season by 12 points or more, however they have not come up against a defence as good as ours this season but unfortunately they have a slightly better defence than ours and have conceded just a fewer points than us this season.

Prediction Leigh by 10
Bookies have Leigh favourites by 12 you could argue a case for backing Sheffield +12 but i am happy to enjoy the match without having a bet

In other matches can doncaster finialy get a victory possibly not but not sure dewsbury should be 14 point favourites

Will Featherstone lose again ? quite possibly they have a tough match at Batley and are only 2 point favourites.

Bradford 20 point favourites home to London which seems slightly high but hopefully they can do us a favour and win

Halifax should win comfortably home to workington they are 22 point favourites

relegation battle at hunslet against Whitehaven hunslet are playing the better rugby at the moment but 10 point favourites is slightly high

Interesting stats there 'duggs'. However, as always, they can be misleading. For instance, in our run up to the game, we have played two more of the 'fancied' teams than the Eagles - Bradford and Halifax - so we aren't really comparing like with like, with points scored and conceded.

That said, the one factor that we can't quantify, is that we haven't yet played each other. Unfortunately (for us) we are missing a few first choice forwards - Moimoi, Wilkes, Spencer and Penkywicz (a big miss there) - so we may not be as potent up front.

I'm sure that our coaching team will be well aware of the threat always posed by Sheffield - but whether we will be able to cope with that threat, makes for a very interesting and close encounter. Despite the form of both defences, I fancy there will be quite a few points scored, as there are some extremely talented backs on display.

Every club will have an injury crisis at some time during the season.

It's part of the game.

I doff my cap ,sir.Bit late for them,but never mind.

Sure is. And we can't moan about it, as we've built up a squad to deal with situations like this one.

Mr Aston in a change from His usual moaning mode ,was looking positive when He said He had spotted a few weaknesses in the Leigh side, can He tell us now where they are

Aww bless hows the lemons tasting tonight. RICK.

He doesn't have to tell you where they are - if you watched the game you would have seen his players demonstrate where they are - and you would have seen your players weaknesses in a whole range of areas.



Ain't having any lemons - or sour grapes.I am feeling pretty nauseated by how the creative accountant at your place,or Red Hall,will be sipping champagne having made his cash while I have to witness that injustice.

Do those playing representatives of yours get a bonus for the slowest GLDO's in the sport here or in the other hemisphere?

Safe journey back to Leigh Supercilious Village.Congratulate Jamie Acton on his acting ability and the Leigh club on being appreciated by just about everyone who sees them perform.

Obviously you can back up your claims? RICK

Well, that stings. Three mistakes were pounced upon by Leigh and ultimately were the difference. We'll learn from the mistakes and go again. Immensely proud of all 17. Champion Centurions Conquer Spirited Sheffield - https://eaglehoop97.wordpress.com/2015/ ... sheffield/

Think that match report is pretty accurate but he should have mentioned Eagles scored twelve points during McNally's sinbinning.

A very cold day with drizzle and a swirling wind didn't help either side but have to say Eagles looked a good side to me.

I like most of the Eagles fans on here and was very impressed with your team today. A class above every other side we have faced since the Bradford match. But having said that I am loving the thought of Angelic Cynic sat at home seething about losing to the Leigh side he so clearly despises.

Eagles - well played

No. We have 12 in the squad. 8 played today, so I think anyway.

Wasn't McNally on the field for the second try? He was there when you restarted. Still, a fair point.

Usually not our weather but the signings of Tonks and Thorpe has injected some steel into our ranks, and we did well to go toe-to-toe with your forwards.

Think he had about a second left of the 10 minutes when you scored

Not really the case then,is it!

I am very surprised but pleased that we can afford to have 12 full timers in our squad considering the size of our attendances and low income
