For our Friday Night Delight we welcome LCC Finalists and Super League club Hull Kr to Bramall Lane with a 7.45pm k.o.

In his first full season as head coach Chris Chester has not only taken his side to Wembley,but managed to mould a successful side extremely quickly given the number of new signings made to start the 2015 campaign.[url=http://www.hullkr.co.uk/on-the-pitch/news/article/a-guide-to-our-new-signings13 New Signings[/url

( With a modicum of modesty and fantastic foretelling I am able to inform you that Mark Aston will do better than this in 2016 - should Sheffield Eagles be making 13 signings )

I look forward to Dan adding his preview to this thread

A special well done to Kieran Dixon who has demonstrated amazing desire and determination,with huge mental strength,after trying too hard in a recent game and a small number in the rugby league family attempting to crush his spirit.He has received great backing from his coaching staff and teammates.Well done to him,and them.

We are traveling in numbers good few coaches coming, last time we played you guys it was at the huge stadium looking forward to visiting the football ground pitch should be good.
Can you advise on best pub walking distance from the ground.

Referee for this one is - C Kendall

He was the referee when we played at The Summer Bash and lost v London.

At The Shay when we lost to Halifax.

At The Hive when we won at London - so we can hope for 2 wins on the bounce!

Eh dear - it's Bramall Lane, not Bramhall.

Hi Rover, there's a pub on the corner of Bramall Lane and John Street called the Cricketers. That's the nearest to the turnstiles. Depending on which way you're coming from, there's the Sheffield Tap at Sheffield Train Station which is certainly worth a visit. If you're coming by car there are quite a few bars on London Road which is just a few minutes from the ground. The Beer Engine on Cemetery Road is a good little place too.

I recommend the Beer Engine just of the bottom of london road with the junction of Cemetary Road very close the the ring road the pub is behind the chinese firework shop . The pub has recently reopened it is smart and modern and has an excellent range of real ales and craft kegs
it is only a 5 minute walk to the john street stand where i presume every body will be sitting

Squads for Friday Night Under The Lights named as -

Sheffield Eagles Squad

Togagae, Turner, Yere, Smeaton, Worrincy, Brambani, Aston, Battye, Carlile, M. Stringer, Knowles, Straughier, Taulapapa, Walker, Petersen, Davies, Davey, Tonks, Scott.


Hull Kingston Rovers Squad

I would enjoy watching us preventing KR scoring a try from dummy/acting half.




Plus the small matter of seeing us become only the second Championship side to defeat a Super League club.
Big effort needed from players and supporters...

Dave Petersen is this Friday's programme cover star. He had a lot of nice things to say about Hull KR which is rather unsurprising obviously. Preview will be uploaded tomorrow.

Impressive Danny,especially during Freshers week! I hope the players win for you - whichever way your prediction goes.

I hope they are looking after you up there,and you really enjoy the whole experience.

Don't imbibe too much of the strong stuff.

It is surprising,he's a hull fc fan.

Thanks for the details regarding the Pubs looking forward to the game.
Watched you on TV against Salford you were great in attack some of your backs really impressed.

You really think Bramall Lane is smaller than the Don Valley???

In square metres, yes. Number of seats, no.

So it depends ......

KR Keep 100% Record - wp.me/p3JxPK-zv A bit late to the party, which is very unlike me, but the link above will take you to my match report from Friday.

Quote ="DannytheEagle"KR Keep 100% Record - wp.me/p3JxPK-zv '" I thought it was just a tad early,as opposed to high. The shoulder charge on Dom in the second half was late - however;just a penalty for us. Very unlucky as he was just getting used to the pace of the game. Their heavily inebriated,slightly overweight followers certainly woke up and shouted some hypocrisy which may have persuaded the referee to show the yellow card.

Have a word with my Dad about it at the next game, he was my source

I've just got the stats.

Penalty counts against almost double 7-13

Too many by Eddie,but the rest of his game proves how amazing he has been,certainly of late.

[url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/report/11985Stats[/url

Any earlier and he'd've still been on the bench.

I did feel sorry for him.He did have his head down and he was committed.

It was some entrance.The timing was just a second too early/or two seconds too early.No more than 3.



He gives his all for the cause.He's a good 'un!

He does the look of total innocence to perfection.

Rervers fans making a mountain out of a molehill here.

I was quite intrigued by the linking of Joel Farrell with Sheffield Eagles





Then I realized I hadn't attended the game...nor knew it was on!

[iDewsbury Rams player Joel Farrell has been charged with Grade A striking with the knees in the 50th minute of the Kingstone Press Championship Shield Super 8s fixture against Sheffield Eagles played on Sunday September 20[/i.

I was looking for signs of the conspiracy against Leigh Centurions but,of course,couldn't find any.



I did see the use of knees by the Hull KR player on Eddie,as early as the 6th minute,resulted in a caution.

I am still shocked by the punishment from the Summer Bash Leigh v Fev where Paul Wood gets done for eye gouging yet more recent,more obvious offences,go unpunished.
