We might rest a few, but if we bring in Tim, Corey, Ryan & Eddie - they're still 1st teamers.

Eagles 30 York 18

Think my rear-end will remain intact, but, just in case, would Dr.B have an operating table at the ready?

Hope we get to see Fordy getting tackled by an actual bear or an actual Menzie - don't mind which.

Tim's still got his groin strain.

RSI or summat.

Eighteen man squad:

QLT, Finigan, Yere, Taulapapa, Morrison, Brown, Brambani, Howieson, Henderson, Stringer, Green, Szostak, Hirst, Hepworth, Higgins, Straugheir, Scott, Smith.

Looks like full strength to me, no Alex Rowe though.

Yep I am surprised that some players haven't been rested - looks a very good squad.

I may have to review my prediction

Re: Official Match Thread - Eagles vs York : Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:54 pm  

Alex Rowe is playing, Liam Higgins and Sam Scott aren't.

ESO wins I think this week

Very scrappy first half littered with errors, always felt like we had an extra couple of gears to go through and when we did they wouldn't be able to live with us, and that's what happened second half. The best thing is we weren't at our best tonight and still made a Championship team look very ordinary. 100% in the Northern Rails is fantastic, I think we could be in for a really good season.

Good game yesterday for the Eagles. Plenty of mistakes just like last 3 games but looking sharp when pushing forwards and breaking the line.
The squad looks pretty tight now which can only be a good thing and confidence must be high with 4 from 4.
Buzzing we've gone through top of the table!!
Just have to wait and see how they start the league now next Sunday

Never seemed to get into top gear consistently but improved as the game went on.

Must be those two friendlies we played.

Good performance tonight. York must be gutted - from three out of three they'll be whittling themselves over the weekend, wondering whether they'll make the quarter finals. If the three teams below them win, York are out.
