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.

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

It appears incongruous to have the player I respect,Andrew Dixon,named amongst the others.Quite respect Ridyard.
They still have Hopkins on loan from Wigan - surprised they haven't had a lot more of their players ripping it up in Super League.
I cannot prevent myself thinking about Leeds United under Revie when I watch Leigh.

I hope the officials are on their best form.

I don't usually but - Come On You Eagles!

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.

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/
