Very much so, I've yet to see Penny's try from last week I hear it was a cracker

It certainly was, he turned the Fax defence inside out almost playing with them and worthy of the enterance fee.
Have a safe journey over to Leigh if you are coming over.

Well, not a bad start. Bit to work on but, with three tries disallowed, at least we're creating the chances.

I thought we played well, not vintage first half but I was never worried we wouldn't win. Had plenty of territory just couldn't convert it into points. Swinton played well to be fair. Great hat-trick from Turner and he could have had five.

It went as expected a tough game very rutsy in the first half better in the second. The new lads impressed especially Owen he showed signs of pure class. Fantastic for Turner to get the hat-trick.
I thought Swinton deserved a bonus point tbh but us to simply get the win was all that mattered.

Where did we get those shirts from and does anybody know if they'll wear the new ones next week?

Ok, Any idea when the new kits will arrive?

Re: Official Match Thread - Swinton v Eagles : Mon Feb 24, 2014 12:44 pm  

No.

Re: Official Match Thread - Swinton v Eagles : Mon Feb 24, 2014 2:01 pm  

It wouldn't be Eagles if the kits were here on time.

Just watched the highlights, Turner should've definitely had four. Nothing wrong with his disallowed effort at the end.

I've watched it as well I can't for the life of me see why it was disallowed
