Been over to Sheffield for Sheffield Eagles vs. Batley Bulldogs this evening. Final score 26-16 to Sheffield, ugh!! Batley just lost it this evening for some reason; I'm guessing it's because there wasn't enough time inbetween Sunday's game and today's. One of Sheffield's tries was quite controversial and the video evidence clearly showed it was short of the try-line - I have no idea why it was allowed. Another of their tries was touched down with the player's chest, which is apparently allowed. I would have suggested it's losing control of the ball...
Ah well, Sheffield go to the top of the league now and our next game is against Hunslet on the 10th June 2012 - a while to go!
Ah gutted, so excited for this weekend ooo not long now! It's pretty much certain that we'll loose however I don't care and if we can get a good game out of it showing promising play that'll do me!Been over to Sheffield for Sheffield Eagles vs. Batley Bulldogs this evening.

Looks like you're in for a cracker of a weekend! We're considering going over to see Leeds vs. Wigan at the Galpharm Stadium when they play each other in the Challenge Cup. I've never seen two superleague teams play (only England vs. Australia in the Four Nations Cup Final) so it should be interesting to see the differences!![]()
IMO opinion the league upgrade is so much faster play, which is why players in our team with no/poor fitness are dragging us back... That will be a good gameLooks like you're in for a cracker of a weekend! We're considering going over to see Leeds vs. Wigan at the Galpharm Stadium when they play each other in the Challenge Cup.

When you're watching a Superleague game on TV, you can just tell everything moves twice as fast. I was watching the highlights that they publish to YouTube and some of the tries are just fantastic. When Batley have played a Superleague team in the past, they're pretty equal until the final 15 minutes or so until you notice the difference in fitness and the fact that they can continue scoring tries whilst we're struggling to organise ourselves. I suppose it's their full-time job so you'd expect it really!![]()
