First game of the league season at Bramall Lane. The first home game I'll have missed in forever due to some pesky thing called "work".

Unfortunately think we'll lose, Eagles 16-34 Widnes.

Phew for a minute there I thought you said work.

Agree with scoreline though.

Convincing win for Eagles.

Id take a draw and two points,But i'm going for a turn up for the books and a close 24-22 victory,ESO is becoming a bit of a part-timer,Missed half game against Hunslet and now Widnes

I must admit I fear the worst but when up against it it often brings out the best in the lads.

Two wins, one draw and two losses in our five pre-season friendlies isn't exactly red hot form but this is the big business and let's hope the boys alay my fears with a win. I've never seen us beat Widnes yet, last team to tick off my victory list.

You'll have to try harder than that.

The committee note that the player has a good record and has never appeared before the panel before. The allegation has been made at a Grade C however the committee feel that due to uncertainty to the point of contact on either the shoulder or head than the charge is reduced to a Grade B. While the potential for injury is apparent in this incident, the committee place emphasis on the player’s good record and feel that a 1 match suspension and £50 fine is appropriate.looks like menzie is out of the widnes game then could have been worse .
