It would seem Sheffield Eagles may not have a full complement of dual reg.players from Leigh Centurions for the game.

Mark Mexico is still serving the ban imposed by the RFL Disciplinary panel of 4 games.

On the back of a previous defeat,against all odds,a home game away from home - Gotta be a win for Sheffield Eagles!

 

     No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

Bradford - Toulouse - hopefully one day an SL fixture.

But not any of the others - why?

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Lots of problems with Dewsbury first season in the championship traditional forward driven side. Conditions on Sunday will be wet bleak, miserable, small but feral crowd, big forwards trucking it up the middle on a quagmire of a pitch. Andrew Henderson's tweets after Oldham proved the coach knows the score about London's ordinary performances but if the club wants to contend then winning this type of game is a must and more convincingly than the games at Swinton and Oldham.

Potential upset looms I'm afraid, London have scraped for two wins but away from an artificial pitch allowing a free flowing fast game there appears, as yet not to be a plan B.

Dewsbury look weaker than they have for years to me. Have steadily lost some of their better players over the last couple of years, and some of their bigger names (Kain, Sykes, Tonks) were at their best a few years ago. 8 points scored in 3 games says plenty, and at this stage it looks as if they will be doing well not to be relegated; London really ought to beat them with a bit to spare.

Maybe I'm the only one annoyed by this but for me it's still disappointing that the RFL are not bothering to publish the squad lists they are sent across 48hrs before the games in the Championship this year (which they have done in recent years), seemingly now leaving it entirely at the discretion of individual clubs as to whether they let fans know or not who's in the squads.

London played well last week at Oldham. Just because Oldham matched them doesn't mean they were bad

We must have been at different games - London (by their standards were awful), Oldham punched well above their weight and deserved more.

Bradford - Toulouse not yet learnt to travel

London - More squeaky bum time and despite a win Hendo to go apoplectic

Hull KR - just too much 

Rochdale - just a team 

Eagles - no good reason

Swinton - could go either way. Home advantage.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

London must have played bad at Swinton too 

Unfortunately they scrapped a victory in the dying minutes where the full time fitness just edged it 

I reckon the story was the same at Oldham 

It's about time our little clubs (ha ha I'm being ironic) got a bit more respect from these ex super league giants

I know, the way Oldham, Sheffield and Halifax behave is terrible.

Bradford doing more than all right against Toulouse so far - I've got Mick Gledhill screaming out of my speakers!
