Official Match Thread - Eagles v Dewsbury : Fri Sep 13, 2013 9:11 am  

This Sunday evening - 6.30pm kick off @ Don Valley (for the final ever time!)

I went to Doncaster v Dewsbury last week and the Rams were very impressive - particularly first half. They have also ran us close a couple of times this season already - so it won't be easy.

Hopefully an improved performance and set up a crunch game at The Shay on Thursday.

Eagles 32-22 Rams

Att: 800

Could it be first and last games of the season at the shay. Lets hope for a better result - but should get there I think 24- 18 to the eagles on sunday.

Just need to watch the 'forward passes'

We wouldn't want to upset the Dewsbury fans, would we?

I can see if being a low scoring game probably around 30pts 3 tries could win it, we are 4-0 against them this year. So my prediction is Sheffield 20 Dewsbury 12. Attendance as its the last game ever at DVS 1,200

I am working at the UK Student games and have seen the Athletics schedule, both tommorrow and Sunday their are loads of field sports the Hammer, Discus, Shot put and Javelin are all scheduled on both days .The last event is due to finish at 2PM so that leaves just 4 hours for the groundstaff to turn the pitch into a rugby pitch with heavy rain and winds forecast it could be a mudbath with loads of handling errors

Hopefully the bad run will end tomorrow and we'll kick on I agree it will most likely be a low scoring game our ball handling needs to have improved to get the win

Eagles 16-6 Rams

With conditions like this who knows what might happen but I think Eagles will just shade it.

Leigh are out Batley won on golden point so no home field advantage in the Grand Final. The Weather is not as bad as i thought Just looked at the rain radar it should stop raining at appx 17:30 and mostly dry during the match however it will still be greasy and muddy underfoot. I was most surprised to see us as 16 points favourites hopefully the bookies are right

I got the prediction of a low scoring game wrong !!! We got lucky with the weather the storms subsided by Kick Off, A superb kicking performance and excellent organised and professional display now onto Halifax on Thursday its not great we have only 3 days rest but its on TV so thats OK but who chose the kick off time (7PM) if it is down to Halifax shame on you !!! many off us Sheffield supporters who are working on Thursday probably wont be able to get to the game. If you are working till 5 it is impossible to get there by public transport even if you are driving with rush hour traffic you might miss the start. A lot of our players have full time jobs what happens if they cant leave work early not an ideal preparation for one of the biggest games of the season
