Official Match Thread - Eagles v London (CC QF) : Tue Jul 09, 2013 2:26 pm  

Friday night, 8pm ko, live on Sky Sports.

Monumentally titanic game, a chance to get to the semi finals of the Cup and to put Sheffield back on the rugby league map.

The acquisition of Jamie Soward and the 27 degree forecast doesn't fill me with confidence, however if we can keep him quiet and play to our strengths, we have a superb chance.

Going to resist a score prediction, hopefully Eagles to nick it!

Its getting closer

We've got to hit them hard and fast and play for the full 80 we've got to do what we do best and play the game quick
We can't afford to give soward time with the ball or he will destroy us, I am led to believe they are quite weak down the wings defensively

We can beat them BELIEVE
Eagles 18-12 London

Gunna be a warm at don valley,not bad once in 20 years,it's going to go two ways,it's been hyped up for weeks and its either going to be a damp squid and high expectation and get blown away early or a close arm wrestle and a narrow victory,either way we should still be proud off what we've achieved,I'm going for eagles 36 London 32 attendance 2,083

Do you honestly believe you can restrict us to 12 points?

No idea until friday comes!
I could change it to Eagles 32-28 Broncos does that sound more like it?
In all seriousness though i think it'll be a tight game it may well be a low scoring game i don't think you'll have it all your own way

Id be surprised if we limit London to 12, but would equally surprised if we only scored 18!
