Yeah I think we'll lose Hendo too, looked like a nasty one. Agree about Vinny Finigan, awesome again. Support was brilliant again, hope we can keep that up over away games throughout the season, undoubtedly helps the players. Disappointed to give up the bonus point at the end, but ultimately job done.

Fantastic performance from the lads, they dug deep when Batley were camped on our line, I like Finny and Dane, I think Dane's having a great season. Ryan always makes an impact now too, he's much stronger than he was. All in all a good all round performance although 'Q' He concerns me, he's about as good at catching a ball as my Dad is and he's actually looking. It's not only the highball, he knocks on more than he should too, I'm prepared to give him time

Re: Batley Bulldogs vs Sheffield Eagles OFFICIAL MATCH THREA : Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:09 pm  

Yes, fantastic 1st half - like the proverbial Juggernaut with Batley as the rabbit in the headlights

I was incensed at Hewer's ineptitude not to penalise the high shot on Rowe, when he was only 3 metres away

2nd half - don't want to sound like a killjoy - but when we needed to play (boring) up-the-jumper 5 drives & a kick with a 90% set completion, the lads went a bit silly with daft off-loads & a horrendous number of missed tackles

However, our Goal line defence was excellent against a Batley side that played with a lot more energy in the 2nd half.

1- 17 great effort, just took our foot off the gas a bit.

MoM: Brown, Vinny or Pete.

Don't know if anyone else caught Tubby's rant with a Batley official before the game with a gripe about somebody (with Rhino there saying he would back Mark up), would like to have known what that was all about.

I got told I couldn't blow my own trumpet by the official, saying it sounded too much like the half time hooter. Now I know I've got a good pair of lungs on me , but even I couldn't have blown that hard

[quote="E.glet"]I got told I couldn't blow my own trumpet

Thanks for that E.glet - My son had the same problem a few years ago when we tried to get his drum into the Keep Out Stadium at Doncaster and some pompous git said it wasn't allowed on Health & Safety grounds! to rub it in, I listened to BBC Radio Sheff footy commentry about a year later - with drums banging in the background - hypocrites!

BTW I occasionally play the cornet at home but I don't think I'd bring it along to a game, as I'm not as good as I used to be and I think it would annoy the hell out of anybody sitting nearby. Mind you, do Wednesday still have their band playing at matches?

Re: Batley Bulldogs vs Sheffield Eagles OFFICIAL MATCH THREA : Fri Apr 29, 2011 1:59 pm  

Yeah Wednesday band still go.
