Back to the actual rugby, the highlights are up on youtube.
I've no idea how our second try was given, but it made me chuckle nonetheless.
Macani with a brainfart in his first game for the Eagles, enjoy your new signing Sheffield :lol:

It's getting to something when we're reduced to third tier Rugby AND classing Carling as quality beer


Compared to Carlsberg it is. Sooner have something else mind but if it's a choice between the two then Carling is much better.

We all had a good laugh at that! Was expecting a scrum after the fullback knocked on. When Macani did that I couldn't believe it :lol: Then I remembered it was Macani and anything can happen when he's on the pitch. On another note I didn't really notice Magrin much during the game. Didn't seem to make much of an impact.

What has the price of a pint got to do with anything?


You ask that?

Really?

The price of a pint is surely THE leading question in the Universe. I assumed everybody understood that.

First, and I know you are exaggerating to try to make your point seem better, but for instance at this precise moment, Carling at ASDA is 70p a can, and that's if you buy 20. So you are FORTY PERCENT out.

[ They have just put on a special offer whereby if you buy 3 packs of 12 i.e. 36 cans, you pay £21 but that's still over 58p a can. And everyone understands discount for bulk, but I bet you've never ordered "36 cans, please" at the Odsal bars. ]

You're right. On reflection, I now understand that if nobody visits the bars, the expenses of running the club on matchday disappear, as if by magic. :roll:

No exageration of any figures im afraid, they are simply based on the deal i got over Christmas. 3 crates of 12 for £18 pounds. Im sure even you can work out thats 50p a can. As you so rightly say. Its cheaper to buy in bulk which im sure is what any business would do? Do you think the bulls go in and by 20 cans at a time and pay 70p a can or buy in bulk at 50p or 58p if thats what it is now.

Humour me for a second. 30 cans of coke for £10 in asda at the min. 30p a can. If they used the same mark up as on the lager that would mean sellng Coke for £2.10 a can.
I think every would say thats a rip off.
Or based on your arguement you would deem that acceptable?

Anyway gentlemen back to my point.

I love Guinness and when I pay £4.50 for a can it never seems to quite taste the same

Did I see somewhere that Sheffield could not even raise 17 players for this game? If true that must be quite a worry for them.

Yeah. They only had 3 subs and all 3 of those were triallists.

Watched the highlights. Hard to judge player performances but from what i saw my thoughts below.

Two assists from Reiss Butterworth, should be our interchange hooker IMO His dummy and inside ball for Crossley made that try. Super talent.

Minchella showed some nice touches and passing. With Chiholm & Keyes fit, Minchella as a ball playing 13 could give us plenty in attack.

Kirk looks to have filled out a bit. Looked in the mould of Kopczak from what i saw.

Looking forward to watching first game of the year against Toronto.

Butterworth was very impressive very quick out of dummy half he knew when to run it in and when to pass looked superb... Kirk was good when he could keep hold of the ball and funnily enough Davies didn’t drop a single ball! :shock:

I thought Davies played well. Not only did he keep hold of the ball but he ran it in well and ran it in hard. Seems to be a different Davies from last season! If he carries on like that he could be a bargain on part-time.
