..and the ref is that infamous J Cobb............... so Swinton must be in with a chance after his performance at Barrow.


ps.....some stats for you all...........
Menzie needs 1 try to make 100 in his Eagles career
[Daryl scored 114 in 312 games at a strike rate of 0.365 tries per game, Menzie is on 0.755 tries per game (in 131 games)]
"Q" needs one try for 80... his strike rate is 1.03 tries per game
Hendo's next game is his 90th for Eagles
Misi needs 4 tries for 50 and 4 more games for his 100th
Knowles next game will be his 50th.
Dom needs 1 goal for 70 and 1 point for 160 in championship games this season; 5 points for 450 in Eagles career

Menzie, Q, Mitch, Dom, Hendo have played in every Championship game this season.

Can't remember, but he gave us a penalty, so it'll be for obstruction or summat.

I think to sugest we are a poor side is unfair. What we are,as with a number of teams in the bottom half,is a side which is a million miles away from competing with the top four or five in the championship.

I simply can't to be fair, there was a couple of knock ons given against us in that first half where the ball IMO clearly went backwards saying that the ball shouldn't have gone loose anyway as said far too many dropped balls.How long were swinton players allowed to hold down tackled players i won't drivel on about it its done now

All the best Marshy

Nope, he gave us a scrum.

Still not sure how the officials gave that forward pass that cost the Eagles a try. All three were nowhere near up with play. Some very pernickity penalties that helped to make this game one of the worst I've seen in ages. Having said that, the ref and TJs didn't keep knocking on, which was the main problem.

As for Swinton, I wouldn't say they were poor as I think that's disrespectful. They are certainly struggling to be anywhere near the top 5, but they aren't the only ones.

I've not been able to get to many games this year, but I've seen one very high quality game (Halifax in the league at BL) and three or four really poor ones, where Sheffield played at about 50% of their best and still won at a canter.
