graham fisher 1,748 Report post Posted August 29, 2018 Another tough game away to Sheffield. Defence and discipline needs to be better to win this one. I think there will be a few changes this week,Brown, Knowles,Day(hopefully) anyone heard how Sykes injury is?

At least someone come on and say I’m talking sh ite ,again Probably a mix of holiday season, no game for a week and maybe just unadulterated complacency from what is almost certainly certain survival for us now.. Add in also the fact that its basically impossible to predict how we night perform from one week to the next never mind against Sheffield. For years I just assumed we'd lose against them cos we always did..Bit more uncertain these days but I'm guessing we will struggle to get the points at their gaff..

Their new ground is going to be ready maybe at the back end of next year, so they'll need a shiny new team to go in it in 2020. Sounds like they have high hopes for the coming season, and reading between the lines, a decent team. If they only have a handful of supporters, it's going to make their season tickets expensive.

Crown Flatter 552 Report post Posted August 30, 2018 No idea what our team will be, but I think with Sheffield being at home, they will win and by a greater margin than that hot Sunday lunchtime game in the nearly forgotten summer.

coolie 2,131 Report post Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Can't see nothing but a defeat, never a happy hunting ground for us, fingers crossed Sheffield will be weakened by saints playing tonight too, and our focus will be on barrow next week as one win will see us home and over the line on another difficult season. With the threat of 3 up this season and one down the championship will be the hardest ever and just think if Toronto don't go up the thought of a division containing Dewsbury Batley Halifax Leigh London Toulouse Toronto Sheffield Swinton/Rochdale Bradford York Workington Barrow Featherstone That's scary stuff and only a matter of time before the spectre of relegation comes knocking once more unless we don't pull our socks up. Sheffield 34 Dewsbury 18 Match summary Spirited performance my the Ram's but Sheffield notched up another gear to steal the game away in the last 20 minutes. Att 325 Man of the match Cory Aston..
