Bus stop in Barnsley etc etc, where are your boys in the league again?

Anyway, hardly vintage tonight but a win's a win, bit of a steal if we're being honest!! Thought Connor Scott showed up well and Q was magnificent. Menzie killed three people which even for him is a good effort, Hendo his usual self. Thought we were pretty poor first half, much better second half but still room for improvement. Top 4 back on.

there was over 1k there you bellend,thought 1st half was rubbish,Gunna watch the 2nd half in a bit,Thought the ref was inconsistent and the touch judge was worse,2nd half was probably exciting for the neutral and for Eagles fans but hardly vintage,but at the end of the day a massive 3 points and without several key players,A big break til the 24th July Should heel a few walking wounded,Menzie KO a trio of Barrow boys ,I think we need to use Menzie more in attack,Several times we went the wrong way and missed chances,Hes so dangerous,he needs to be used as much as possible,Cant be far off leading tryscorer in league and surely has 50 now,Ramble over,well done and the top 6 is a near certainty IMO.

Think i win the score again with 32-28 If only we had our old tipping competition going,Id be nailed on for that prize,What was it ESO?

There wasn't one.

Just watched the game back, we were so much better after we went 12 points behind. Chucked the ball around and played really expansive rugby, no coincidence that we scored three tries and won the game.

Oh and that conversion was clearly over, cheating gets.

Some tired legs out there but in the end we deserved it for never giving up. Incidentally my grandson, who was in a different part of the ground to me, says that the "conversion" didn't go over. It looked marginal to me and I wouldn't argue either way.

Well done Eagles!
Good to see Donny old boys doing ok.
By the way it looked like a goal to me!

I watched it back on sky+ at least ten times, it went over. Wasnt a good showing by the officials yesterday, if the video ref hadnt been there christ only knows how we would have gone on.

Tale of two cities story last night, great attack in parts and rudderless attack in parts. Shocking defence in spells but also some good defence. Tubby will be going ape**** about Barrows first two tries, very poor tries to concede but didnt we stick at them well. At 12 down i thought it was gone but what a last 20 mins to win the game. We did get away with an outrageous forward pass by Bergin to Browny. Did their lad get put on report for the late shot on Bergin after that pass? That was shocking.

All in all well done on a great rallying performance after some very basic errors. Superb entertainment and i really ejoyed the match programme as well, especially page 23.

Honestly, they must only be let out in the evenings.

He did get put on report but having watched it back I don't think it was that bad.
