We all know a win is a win & that we can do battle the awkward way, but, I am happy generally with our team but we must not kid ourselves, if we play as we have been we will loose at Sheffield where we usually play poor. Then our last two performances, if we play to this standard we will not win at Bradford,
We are currently sailing close to game miss managed rather than out classed, today we were well read by Toulouse in our attack, by now teams know about Max being our main strike weapon !
I do hope I am wrong & being wrong would give me pleasure, but I have a concern of not being more fluid in our performances, so beware, the problem/s are brewing.

How about looking at the game and seeing that Toulouse was the strongest fittest team we have played this season. Also we had them penned in there own half for most of the game. If you want to be cynical of the performance , you could say we need to shore up our discipline in defence, as we gave them all there points through needless penalties.

I disagree.
Toulouse played well today and we dominated most parts of the game.

I'm not sure how we are 'usually' poor against Sheffield when I don't think we've played them this century

Aston was there today but not sure what he can really learn. TO blitzed us on the wide areas today with a rush up defense which caused us to push some passes but we worked it out.
Powell says we'll be working on tactics to stop this anyway.

“Beware the problems are brewing” just jog on will you.

We have played at Sheffield Eagles 12 times in the past, winning 6 and losing 6.
Our last visit was in the Middle 8's in 2015 where we lost 24-10

No doubt Sheffield are a good side but they where run closer by both donny and toulouse than we where and no disrespect to the other teams Sheffield have played are certainly not the best.i personally dont think we are as good as some make out but we do have to remember teams are putting that extra bit of effort in when playing us and we are winning. and i feel we are more intrested in building for next year and hopefully been back in sl and we are seeing where we need to strengthen.miidles are good (early prediction rodwell in 2025 dream team)with tj arriival starting wingers great too,for me centre,back row and most deffo half backs need looking at but we are linked with players

You’ve been celebrating cas’s 2nd win of the season against SL worst ever team a bit too much Stuart, calm down and get ya bum on one of those lovely new shiny seats in the princess street stand

I don't think he'll have learned anything he didn't already know, regardless they will be well prepped and carrying the "angry man" joker card...

I just believe ultimately it's ourselves who will decide the outcomes of our games and if we are beaten it will be because we've played dumb Rugby League rather than anything our opponent's have thrown at us for a full 80 minutes .

We have the best squad of players in the league and led by the very best HC in my opinion .

Inside our head is the potential flaw .

Was it that far back. I still remember that day at Bramall lane, we were absolute garbage.
What happens on Friday is down to us and we should have more than enough to beat them

Sheffield Eagles beat us at Oakwell in 1990 i seem to remember .

However we wish to think it remains we usually play poor against Sheffield @ Sheffield !
But if we play to our potential we can & should win !

But surely the 'usually we play poor against Sheffield' when no one at the club can probably even remember when we last played them. None of the players or the coaching staff carry any baggage or memories of that time, so surely it's irrelevant.

It will come down to us having a good game plan and executing it to the best of our ability. Cutting out as many errors and penalties as we can and generally letting our middles lay a platform for Gale, Lino and Jowitt to create tries for the backs.

Bramall lane...?
I remember the Don Valley and the Elland Rd yorks cup final when I think of Sheffield...lol

How do we usually play poor against Sheffield Eagles away? Played them away 12 times and won 6 times.
A 50% win rate away from home is pretty good.
