What you say on here, where management can see it, and what you send on texts are different things though aren't they!

You're an idiot

You on the other hand seem to be fairly well informed, what's your thoughts or is it all still up in the air?

I'd like to think so Mick, but in his position, I know I would be pursuing all options, and I'm assuming there are a few.

There are always a few caveats of course; he'd already been cut by SL clubs previously and he's not really 'blown away' the Championship opposition this time round either, though I accept he's been on his own as our only 'true' half [soz Danny...] he's been far from the dominating influence he was last time round. He's already missed a few games [as indeed he did last season] which, whilst clearly not his fault, is a fact likely to be noticed by potential suitors.

With all that in mind, he may not now be quite the same capture as last season. However, I strongly suspect there will be offers.

Still hoping he stays!

If he signed for Batley he'll be near the Fox's Biscuit factory when he needs to go in for repairs.

Now now.....Lol

Joe Lumb had a huge impact during the second half. We really stepped up the tempo of the game when he came on. Fantastic young player.

Definitely thought he got through a lot of work in his 20min spell.

Also thought Adam O'Brien had his best game for a while. But two huge hits in the first half and was zipping around dummy half all day.
Thought at back end of last year and a bit from beginning of this year he wasn't quite the player we saw at the beginning of 2015. Mainly down to Lowes absolutely flogging him to death. But with Lumb coming in, we seem to be getting the best out of O'brien. That 20 min rest can make a huge difference.

Well played guys, terrible ground yes, we are moving into the new one next season, but remains to be seen whether it will be much better than this season, maybe we should have got the RFL to buy the Don Valley....

OB was excellent on friday. Has anyone heard how Steve Thorpe is? He was on the receiving end of a massive hit from Adam in the first half. We were stood by the Sheff dugout and it wasnt pretty, poor bloke looked in a bad way.

Broken right cheekbone.Out for 2 and a half months.

I was speaking to some Sheffield fans at the game and they were, well, more than suggesting, they were saying quite categorically that the new ground had hit the buffers and wouldn't happen. Must admit, I thought it was all settled, finance, planning etc - the lot, but I was told this wasn't the case.

If it does fall through it will be a big problem for the Eagles as, whilst the University ground is fine for the Uni, it is far from fine for pro sport where speccies need to be accommodated and a half-decent view of proceedings is needed. After going full-time I don't think they can afford to play there after this year.

Its happening, pitch and floodlights going in as we speak, the trouble is we had an investor who wanted to build the stand with a hotel, sadly he pulled out for various reasons. There is interest from a few parties (mainly due to the planning for a hotel) so I think the setup will be a slight improvement on this season, hopefully going forward the money can be raised to put the 2500 seater stand in place. We have our fair share of doom and gloom merchants here, who will always be far from convinced about anything!

Hope its all happens for you.. Always want you to do well (except against us obviously) - stood with some of your fans - great bunch and no venom - a refreshing change!

A very interesting visit!! Never been to a ground where I could stand within touching (and hearing) distance of the players and staff - amazing experience

Heard Oscar Thomas get a couple of rollickings for not sticking to the plan, Adam Sidlow is a great club man - never stops encouraging from the bench.

And the sight of your new captain in such distress - close up and personal - brings it home to you!

Wish him well..

If the plan included actually making tackles, then he deserved said rollocking.
