Re: Official Match Thread - Oulton Raiders (CC Round 3) : Sat Mar 24, 2012 6:58 pm  

Thought we played alright to be fair, always quite hard to judge when the opposition isn't of a similar standard but we dominated the game and came out with a convincing scoreline. I was getting excited when Q had scored 4 tries after half an hour, thought he might be on for the record! But he didn't manage to cross again unfortunately. Good performance from Dane McDonald on his return and also good for Aaron Smith to get his first appearance under his belt. Roll on Thursday night, really, really looking forward to it.

28 in 29 is a great strike rate.

Glad I went today - still managed to get to tonight's gig.

Really impressed with the turnout today, especially the number of eagles fans there.

Thought their scrum-half (22 - Dean Lawton lookalike) was awesome.

We got better as the game went on - knockonathon in the 1st half! Good to see Scott Turner, Nozza, Alex R & Dano getting a run out. Plenty of candidates for MoM, but mine would be either Nozza or Sam Scott - both excellent in defence & made some good runs.

Looking forward to the draw - what odds on being drawn away to Wakey?

Agree that you can't judge the performance but again close to what most people predicted. Q spoiled HLs prediction though.
A bit disappointing re their second try but their first was well worked.

Pleased on how the replacements slotted in.

Q had an amazing start and I was thinking double hattrick when he got the 4th but it wasn't to be

Scrum half ? He was built like a prop.

He was loose forward, actually. Agree he was their best player on the day.

Danny Stanley's his name.

Where does our current winning streak rank Shorteagle? What's our record?
