We are averaging 36 points scored per game and only 10 conceded so tonight's result was bang on the money,,, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-leagu ... ship/table

I didn't go. What did people think?

Re: Sheffield Eagles : Fri May 03, 2024 9:05 pm  

Still clunky but just too powerful. More than happy with the win. Onto Bradford next week, no injuries that you could see but rotated a few.

Re: Sheffield Eagles : Fri May 03, 2024 9:06 pm  

I thought it was brute force as opposed to skill that got us on top. Gale was very good tonight and so was Griffin. Lino poor again and I thought Thackrey for Sheff was excellent he did some really clever stuff

Re: Sheffield Eagles : Fri May 03, 2024 9:24 pm  

They really struggled to handle Griffin early on, and when I say struggled, it was like a group of young boys trying to tackle a man. I thought we went through spells of being really aggressive in defence with Great line speed, we seemed to go in and put of that through the game but it's great to see as it's something I've never seen much off from a Wakefield side. All the props were immense again, punching holes with pretty much every drive. Lino, I agree looked poor again, his play selection is way off, he doesn't seem to know when to pass when to run or when to kick... I don't think he knows himself until the last second, it confuses everyone around him.

Re: Sheffield Eagles : Fri May 03, 2024 9:28 pm  

Just on Lino, it's quite telling when so many people are picking out poor performances when we are thrashing teams.. I really hope he can pick his performances up and prove me wrong, but at this moment in time it would be a disaster to go into SL with Lino as a starting half.

Re: Sheffield Eagles : Fri May 03, 2024 9:41 pm  

His discipline seems to be off too. In closer games that could really cost us.

Sheffield played the more “expansive” rugby but couldn’t handle our pack. Uele is turning out to be an absolute unit.

Re: Sheffield Eagles : Fri May 03, 2024 10:25 pm  

Did someone get sent off as we were down to 12 men at the end ?

Re: Sheffield Eagles : Fri May 03, 2024 10:28 pm  

I actually thought we played quite well in comparison to otjer games this year by not switching off and letting teams back in.

There was just that spell between Griffin getting forced out of play and Gales big hit on Bishop just prior to our second try
