Official Match Thread - Halifax Away : Mon Jul 30, 2012 2:45 pm  

This Sunday, 3pm ko at The Shay.

Thought I'd get the ball rolling as I'm off on holiday for a week tomorrow, first game I'll have missed since Donny in the NRC and first league game I've missed for an absolute eternity!

Hopefully Fax will have something of a hangover from their brilliant NRC final win yesterday, and it will be case of after the Lord Mayor's Show on their part as we come away with the three points. It'll be tough though.

Head says Fax will just nick it, heart says...

Fax 20-33 Eagles (last minute drop goal denying bonus point and putting us in 2nd)

I predict a very close game, so i'll go for 0-0

Quietly confident.

To be fair, your predictions weren't a million miles away.

A good hard game today and if we had been beaten i could not of complained. Some very poor referring for both sides almost spoiled the game although i don't think it was the ref that decided the game.

A slight downside to a very good competitive game of Champoionship RL was the small number of Eagles fans ejected from the ground. One appeared to be a very young lad with his mum?? Not sure what happened there.. The other? well i'm sure he will regret his childish actions towards Rob Worrincey.

Fair play to Eagles players, turned up with some high intensity defence that really hurt Fax early on.

I have a feeling you might be back to the Shay in the Play-offs!!

Well done to those who travelled today, best Eagles following I think I've seen at Halifax. Leave those at home in future who find it difficult to behave themselves in such a large crowd, perhaps they're not used to being so close to other people.

Very suprising,Eagles fans the most placid in the league,Seems like a good effort,Large crowd? I think a couple of k for an established rugby league club that's been going for years and years and having a very good team and regulary winning silverware to be pretty pathetic tbh.

OK, so you think Halifax support is pathetic. If that is so, what does it say about the Sheffield Seagulls support??? Get a grip.
