Official Match Thread - Eagles v Leigh (NRC Final) : Wed Jul 17, 2013 9:03 am  

Saturday 5pm at The Shay.

A chance to win the NRC for the first time in our history and pick up the first of hopefully three trophies this season.

Will be a tough game against Leigh but we've had the beating of them in knockout competition over the last few years. Hopefully the defeat to London didn't knock too much confidence out of us and we get back on the horse with some silverware.

I'd like to think we'll take 1000+ as we have to Warrington the last couple of years, but can't see it, was so much focus on last week's game I've just got a feeling not as many will show up.

Eagles 34-22 Leigh

Att: 4011

Greetings my feathered friends , Charles Eusabio Peroni Caroli , is ready for Saturday , the Minestrone Soup , is simmering nicely , the Gravy is thickening , and the Mighty Leythers are gearing up to invade the Shay .

As you know Charlie is not very good at predictions BUT im going for a score of Leythers 28 v Seagulls 22 , there wont be much in it , I think our Forwards are by far Superior to yours , but I think you have the edge over us at 1-5 in the backs , anyway lets hope for good game , good atmosphere , and a Leythers win , see all 8 of you on Saturday .

I don't think your forwards are 'far superior' at all. Stringer has been arguably the best front rower in the comp this season and Knowles is for me the best forward in the league period.

My prediction:
Lots of booze on the train
Cutts to get lost in Leeds station
Webbo to eat at least 15 burgers throughout the day
No one to remember what time they get home

Sheffield are the 'form team' 15 games unbeaten v championship opposition.
Think (we) Leigh can win....BUT think Eagles will probably 'nick it'.
HOPE I'M WRONG !!!!!

Budge no doubt the seagulls WERE the form team , that record has now gone , care of London , they could be on a LOSING streak now , and losing streaks are like the MOONIES ,easy to get into , but hard to get out of , could be tears before bedtime at the Don Valley on Saturday ,CHARLIE KNOWS .
