Official Match Thread - Eagles v Halifax : Wed Sep 04, 2013 12:48 pm  

Friday 7.30pm ko @ DVS live on Premier Sports.

First round of the playoffs. Not sure how we'll get on, we really struggled against Donny at the weekend. We've found an extra gear in the playoffs over the last couple of years so hopefully that's the case again.

Not going to guess a score!

Not feeling too confident after last week we looked dead on our feet at donny with fax finding some form they will be smelling blood

Hopefully there will be enough in the tank to get the win and a win would mean a much needed week off


Eagles 26-22 Fax (my head says a fax win)

Charlie thinks this will be a very close game , I KNOW you seagulls fans will be very happy to know , im predicting a Fax win by a score of Seagulls 22 v Fax 26 , there will be nothing in it , and Charlie will be watching the game on Premier Sports , I have more Friends in the FAX CAMP and enjoy meeting Bentleyman and Halifaxjohn , so im afraid its a narrow Fax win , Charlie KNOWS . .

Should be a close game the bookies have us a 6 point favourites which is probably just about right however we are looking a tired team so if i had a shotgun to my head would back Halifax +6. However there is an extra incentive for the players if they win they get the week off next week and remember we are unbeaten at home in the league and 20 unbeaten going back to last season yes we were poor on Sunday but if i had my way all of our main players would not have played against Doncaster and would have be rested !!!

If the weather stays like this, as is forecast until 6.00 pm, we might be watching a new game - aquatic rugby league.

Whatever the conditions, I think a narrow win for Eagles.

Whoever holds the ball better will win the game, simple.

Going to be a knockonathon in these conditions.

Well predicted ESO lots of handling errors especially by us.We defended well but lacked the cutting edge and were beaten by the better side so well played Halifax.

Our season is now in tatters, It is now 3 defeats in a row and our Championships crown is virtually over.I cant see us winning three games in a row.If we avoid Doncaster in the next round we have a chance of progressing to the Elimination Semi Final but i cant see us beating Halifax or Leigh and even if we do we will probably have the difficult task to beat Featherstone in the Grand Final.

On a brighter note on a person to person web site (Betfair) somebody was still willing to Back Sheffield to win the Grand Final at the stupid odds of 5/2 so I accepted that bet and at least i should make some money in the likely event us not winning the Grand Final
