The Bulls will definitely be missed in the Leeds 6 postcode area.

Anticipation increasing for this one,now.
Hard to believe it is not yet a fortnight since our last victory in the cold,wet,and miserable weather against London;it seems like forever ago.

I suspect our good friend,duggs,has found amazing odds where everyone has written us off and he has found a suitable bookmakers so he can make a killing.I hope he does.

If this game lasts 2hours and 4 minutes I can make a later train,but if not I shall attempt to make Olympic standard times to reach the one leaving earlier.

I don't do sartorial elegance,after I decided to stop driving and travel by public transport,but it would be nice to wear the club colours.

Would I be right in thinking we go with the home kit of predominantly red for this game,as we did earlier in the year,and the same again for Widnes next week?

I can worry about Salford and their home kit of red with the black yoke on shoulders,chest and sides next month.

If I was a Bradford fan I would worry about Gaskell and Mullaney in the halves.Not least because I don't think hamstring problems fix in the short space of time since Mullaney injured his at The Keepmoat.

As I ain't I won't.Bring it on...

If you're travelling by train, I'd imagine that you'll be coming through Leeds. Just FYI, the 508 Leeds to Halifax bus drops right outside Odsal and you can catch it from just outside Leeds train station.

If you want to go all the way through to Bradford by train, I'd suggest getting the one to the Interchange rather than Foster Square, as the Interchange is also the bus station.

However if you're making a day of it and fancy some real ale, Bradford's Independant Quarter is a 5 minute walk from Foster Square Station and has a number of excellent bars such as The Sparrow and Bier House

Cheers.Thanks for that.



No Langley in our squad.[url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/preview?11966Interesting Squads[/url

No problem. I'd just add to that a few useful bus numbers 622, 625, 645 all run fairly regular even on a Sunday and run from the interchange and stop by the Top House (the pub outside Odsal). But if you're coming with a group it'd probably be cheaper to get a taxi, especially if you're off to the pub first.

Bradford's squad is arguably the strongest we've put out all year so I'm expecting us to come out all guns blazing

Just over 24 hours before the opportunity presents itself for our players to engrave their names in the history books for Sheffield Eagles.
I quite fancy having 'Promoted Via The Inaugural Super 8 Qualifiers' on my replica shirt in 2016;Looks a bit tidier than 'Winners Of The Inaugural Super 8 Qualifiers.'
Iconic Odsal of course has hosted a Challenge Cup Final replay and Test Matches vAustralia so it has had some talent previously on show.
I just hope our players continue the hard work they have got through since November - and continue the winning run.

I hope our supporters travel in numbers and lose their voices until they arrive at Widnes.
Today it seems the rail service has [url=http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/travel-signalling-problems-cause-long-train-delays-on-sheffield-services-1-7399930Signalling Problems[/url tomorrow it will probably be engineering works.

Whatever the hardship,we can rely on our players sweating blood for the cause.

If they go for Mullaney as FB - I would like to see the bombs go up and come down with snow on - as neither he nor any of their wingers are happy under the high ball.

Whatever,hope the club and the supporters,have a great day.

Err, where did you come up with that fact about Mullaney or our wingers having trouble with highballs?

We will be playing in =#FF0040RED.

Pretty much as expected from my point of view. Gaskell and Mullaney were both outstanding for Bradford at times, with O'Brien and Sidlow standing out in the Bulls forwards. Knowles gets my Eagles MoM as he tackled everything that moved today and seemed to get under their skin at one stage. Menzie was a close second, looked dangerous every time he had the ball and got a deserved try near the end. Week-by-week improvement is all I ask of the lads and if we grab a win or two along the way then that's a bonus.

There'll be a few players taking to the field in an Eagles shirt for the last time by the end of the Qualifiers so I hope they go out on a high. Match report from today will be up in the next few hours.

Forums,mainly.My face was as red as my shirt when your winger took one extremely well;but they weren't really tested.

That was far superior performance than the one earlier in the year with a similar scoreline.I would suggest the first half was as good from an opposition side as I have seen,this year.( Includes HullFC in LCC )

Your short passing game,in both directions,with the support play was a delight to watch.

Our performance wasn't.

I am probably mistaken - but I thought your first try may have been scored after 6 tackles.No one complained so I am probably,totally,incorrect.



I don't like this time of the season when players are looking elsewhere,or have already signed for another club.There are rumours about some of our players not willing/able to go full time.

We did look lethargic and not our usual selves out there today.Particularly when Sidlow,their prop,made his break.

All to play for when free-spending Leigh and Super League Wakefield are in the same position.

We lost away to a full time team who certainly made the chasm look a little large today.

Everything still to play for.Our Dublin member of the supporters club is pushing her wheelbarrow through the streets broad and narrow crying 'Sheffield Eagles - Alive,Alive,Oh!'

The tackle count was wiped after the 3rd tackle in the build up.

I missed it.Thanks very much.

Misi touched it. I missed it myself in live play but it was clear enough on the replay.

Should the opportunity present itself,and after my masochistic tendencies kick-in,I may be brave enough to view the opening minutes again.

AS much as I dislike following on from my own posts - and usually enjoy reading player stats. - anyone interested can read the stats from Sundays game [url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/report/11966Via This Link[/url

AC you love it , posting on here , I'm sure I will be proven right by forcasting the Eagles won't win a game in the 8's you are by far out of your depth, sorry but that's life .

What's the difference between 7th and 8th ? A few quid in funding for next year and a saving in win bonuses this year ? It's nice to win but we need a stadium before we go up so I don't think it'll worry us too much - even if you're right.

'Allo,Mick.

Have you not heard of the hare and the tortoise tale?
Have you not seen who we play in one of our 3 home wins?

As a vocalist yourself,and you may have heard the gravelly -voiced Mr Betts once again be more than sporting in his post-match interview - do you reckon he will join in when we start the 'We're On Our Way' song on Sunday? ( Did Lee Marvin join the singing in Paint Your Wagon?)

Don't forget to come back on here from Sunday - and make certain you return after the 23rd of this month.

I noticed the nod to Frank Sinatra - That's Life!

Yes

Thanks for finding that HL.I did look.

I was also seeking Charlie the Leigh fan who suggested we were only making the number up.
