Back to the actual rugby, the highlights are up on youtube.
I've no idea how our second try was given, but it made me chuckle nonetheless.
Macani with a brainfart in his first game for the Eagles, enjoy your new signing Sheffield

Watched the highlights. Hard to judge player performances but from what i saw my thoughts below.

Two assists from Reiss Butterworth, should be our interchange hooker IMO His dummy and inside ball for Crossley made that try. Super talent.

Minchella showed some nice touches and passing. With Chiholm & Keyes fit, Minchella as a ball playing 13 could give us plenty in attack.

Kirk looks to have filled out a bit. Looked in the mould of Kopczak from what i saw.

Looking forward to watching first game of the year against Toronto.

Butterworth was very impressive very quick out of dummy half he knew when to run it in and when to pass looked superb... Kirk was good when he could keep hold of the ball and funnily enough Davies didn’t drop a single ball!

Yep. There'll be a couple of posters on here with more info, but 3 months ago when they were letting go/offering around their players from last season, I was told they had effectively pencilled in a 2018 playing budget which was comparable to that of Coventry Bears. I would hope they have secured some extra funding/sponsorship since then, otherwise it'll be a long, tough season for them.

And yet that clown Garry Schofield thinks they'll finish above London (along with 8 other teams).
