Will the Eagles fans be congregated to the right of the south stand?

Don't see why we should break the habit of a lifetime!

BRING IT ON.

Carried on from where they left off vs Halifax - another great TEAM performance.
I thought that the game was played at a fair pace and aggression by both sides.

In my opinion Eagles deserved the win but for the first 25 mins nothing between the sides.

Wouldn't mind the number 10 Hirst if Rams decide they don't want him.

well i hope every one enjoyed that performance it was cracking from 1to17 as was in the old days . i also enjoyed singing their fans off the park ,as for mr laughton you can only say crap for both teams and his touch judges what can i say getting paid to get a bit fitter. lets keep it up against batley on easter mon .

Good workmanlike performance,If im honest think we could still have gone up a couple of gears,the refereeing was interesting to say the least Thought Kyle Wood was fantastic,The two dual regs from bradford really look the part,Menzie The atmosphere was brilliant,some new and inavative chants Lets keep it going and the momentum up the hill to Batley,With the busy easter programme for super league clubs and the decline of bradford hopfully none of our dual regs will be called back,Henderson for me has been the best player so far,It worries me if he got injured that we would totally lose our way,Have we anybody who could fill the spot if required?

Great win, very workmanlike against dogged opposition. Great game to watch in great weather. First half i thought we played ok, kept the errors and penalties low but Dewsbury defended really well. Second half we hit the front in fine style and the attacking play was frighteningly fast at times. Special mentions to Kyle Wood, Simon Brown, Menzie and Hendo.

Lets be honest, Ronnie had a shocker, for both sides. He missed numerous things for and against us. Ive never seen so many forward passes awarded in one game since the days of Colin Morris.

Great vocals by the crowd, with which i was joining in. Weve been trying to get Depeche Mode's classic going for ages and it was awesome. Dont know if we reached the heights of the Challenge Cup epic in 2007, but it must have been close.

EB - I believe Kyle Wood played at hooker when he was at Batley last year. He could fill in.

Excellent performance, I was particularly impressed with our defence which was solid throughout. Thought we were pretty sold 1-17 so won't bother singling players out! Atmosphere was awesome, more of the same at Batley next Monday. I genuinely think we can make a push for top two...at the moment

Re: Sheffield Eagles vs Dewsbury Rams OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD : Sun Apr 17, 2011 9:21 pm  

Top two is rather optimistic. Weve still to play Featherstone (champions), Leigh (top) and Barrow (still dangerous). If we can match it with these bots then we know were in with a shout. At the moment we have 12 points. About 25 is the "safe score", let's just get there first.

Brill! Grand Day Out! Looked on Dews site on Total RL. They thought we weren't brill, just comparatively efficient in attack but solid in defence. After losing 68-6 at Leigh to being called solid in defence is quite an improvement.

Yes good display from 1-17. Special mention from me for the Back-Rowers Brigade; Alex S, Pete, Hirsty, Cording & Dane got through some immense work which tends to go unnoticed.

Great to see Big Jack back.

Keep the Depeche Mode in - Sound Stuff

Kept thinking during the match that we should be putting these to the sword and that we still had plenty left in the tank & a few gears available. The lads didn't need to be brill, just stick to the game plan - and that's a satisfying thought to sleep on.

Agree with Dr B - top 2 might be stretching it a bit. It's an old cliche - 1 game at a time. Let's hope the Rams & Dogs knock lumps out of each other on Thursday. Roll on Easter Monday!
