Official Match Thread - Eagles v Workington : Mon Jul 29, 2013 2:05 pm  

Wednesday night 7.30pm @ DVS. Live on Premier Sports.

Hopefully an improved performance from Friday (particularly second half!) against an in form Town side.

Even though they're playing quite well, they won't be relishing a 5 hour coach trip midweek. Chance to rack up some points IMO.

Eagles 56-10 Town

Att: Dread to think...

Five hours ?

They should invest in a map book.

I think mid-week helps, actually. No early starts - compared to an afternoon game. Late back, obviously - but that's after the game.

They won at Batley, they've a lot to play for, I think it'll be closer.

By the time they've had a stop it won't be far off 5 hours.

They didn't have a problem with the journey on Sunday.

Correct. It's just a different mindset midweek though. Might still be a few aches and pains having played three days previous.

We'll see anyway.

I'll go for Workingtons biggest defeat of the season

Let's not forget that we won very narrowly up there.

being totally honest i think well struggle tomorrow night. few factors are against us, less rest time, the long travel, a few knocks to two of our best players and the mid week game. and we are useless on tv for some reason. i think well be resting players for the fev game on sunday at home as thats more likely a game to get a bp or even a win. after last sundays win we can afford to lose this one and still have no relegation worries so i would expect a lot of rotation and probably a good few dual reg.

Still haunted by Eagles leading 22 - 0 at half time and Workington winning 46 -44.
a few years back. Can't see it happening tomorrow though. Should be an easy win for Eagles but the forecast (at the moment) is for heavy rain tomorrow night in Sheffield 9 so who knows.
