[my missus]

16-14 rebound off the post, half time great game

[Manx RL]

When does the crowd arrive?

[my missus]

good crowd on, making a lot of noise.

[JonNgog]

Leigh making up a good bulk of the crowd.

[my missus]

16-16 and all hell breaks loose someone is in big trouble, yes a red card for maden and higgins.

[my missus]

18-16 to sheff, 12 a side now

[Dave T]

Absolute disgrace from Maden - good refereeing and he deserves a big ban.

what happened? missed it..

[Manx RL]

My Leigh supporting colleague insist that this is a 'nothing game', 'meaningless'. Looks like the teams think different.

[my missus]

24-16  to sheff turner in the corner.

[my missus]

what happened? missed it..

higgins elbowed in the face swings a few punches maden runs in and gets on top of higgins and it looked like he punched him about 7 times in the shoulder

[my missus]

spencer in for leigh 22-24 great stuff.

[my missus]

stuart littler in at the corner 26-24 to the gobblers

[dkw]

Mcnaly up to his usual trick of throwing an elbow when tackled, horrible little #####. Maden should be hammered for that too.

[Ullman]

This sounds like an absolute belter of a game.

A childish Leigh fan, eh? Who'da thunk it.

Looks like they're well on the way to winning this one, good stuff.

[my missus]

leigh in again 30-24

[thundergaz]

Looks like eagles have done our trick. Too consistent for their own good and burn out come the business end of the season.

[my missus]

and a drop goal is a killer 31- 24

[my missus]

game over 37-24 5 to go

So basically not being good enough to win trophies?

 

I say this as a Wire fan who has seen his team not be good enough to win the SL Trophy.

[my missus]

43-24 full time great game sheff suffered most from the sent off player i think.

I wouldn't say that. I think us and the eagles are the best/most consistent teams in the championship. Its just the one off games that seem to catch us out.with the play off system the way it is you can win all your games all season and IMO if you win the league you are the best team in that division then that one off final game can catch you out.

[my missus]

hmm sheff score in the last sec 43-28

I didn't suggest you weren't the best team, but that you weren't good enough to win the trophies, as you don't win the trophies by being great week in week out.

 

You need to be good all season and then perform in the high pressure games.
