Well Done Sheffield . : Sun May 17, 2009 5:36 pm  

Congrats to the Eagles today, i thought they played very well and their will to win was Fantastic. Ok we had an off day but all in all a very well deserved win for Sheffield. Well played lads !

Far and away the better side on the day. Scored a couple of good tries in the second half too. Good passing leading to a break and support play. Normally seen by us against other teams.

Yes indeed - i second that; apart from Johnny Woodcockhead. The ref should have binned him after his umpteenth attempt to waste time. What a pain in the 'arris.

Amazing how teams have an off day when they get beat

I think Sheffield deserve big credit as they had a fair few injuries today by the looks of it.

Absolutely. Fax did play poorly - compared to what they've served up previously but Sheffield were very "nuggetty" and made easy yards. Ropati had a good game and did plenty of damage. They were proper fired up and deserved their win with aplomb.

Eagles played simple Aston type rugby. 5 drives & a kick mostly, but they did do us damage on their right side.

The ref was appaling. Calling for high shots when the attacker was grabbed round the shoulders! Penky did well to keep his cool when he was pinged for this following his kick.

Thank god we dont get Leahy that often, makes even Hicks look good!

a kicker has one minute in which to take a kick and as soon as he passed the minute the clock was stopped, unless your colin whitfield and then you get sin binned

Rubbish. It's his prerogative if he wants to take his time over a goal kick, and the ref's prerogative if he thinks it's sufficient enough to stop the clock.
