Yes the being offside at every tackle and the continuous forward passing was tiresome but despite that I'd say you lot just about deserved the win
We are half a season of experience away from beating the likes of yourselves and our results against all the top sides prove it. Indeed we could have won yesterday uf we hadn't given the ball away so much,but indeed thats as much as the difference was yesterday that little lack of experience.
Sheffield are a very strong team with no weaknesses from 1 to 17.
I certainly enjoyed the match.

HL travel ran a very successful trip to Carcassonne...with no flight delays either!

What makes you think Swinton were taken lightly ? It was pretty much the same team as last week. We didn't rest anybody.

I saw Swinton play Halifax the other week and narrowly (and unluckily) lose so I wasn't taking anything for granted. I think Swinton are a far better team than either York or Hunslet. It has to be said that the two interception tries we gave away, plus missing two relatively easy kicks, did make the score look closer than it should have been, but Swinton jumped on our mistakes, and credit to them. I think the point about experience is very valid. We struggled the first couple of seasons in this division. I thought all in all it was a very entertaining game, if a little nerve wracking for us.

It'll be me then. I've been on more late trains than I've had hot dinners (although technically the fact they're late is more to do with the train companies than me, so I'm not responsible for the delays!!!). I used to have a mate who kept a record of all the delayed trains he'd been on throughout a season. In 1981 the delays totalled 486 minutes. That's 8 hours and 6 minutes. Of course, several Eagles supporters experienced a similar delay in ONE TRIP returning from Carcassonne!!!

Sounds like he spent most of them in a train station!

He could be quite amusing actually. He was a French teacher ( a teacher of French, that is, not a teacher who IS French) and one of his favourite tricks was to find a young programme seller and pretend to be a non English speaking French supporter wanting a programme. After speaking fluent French at them for 4 or 5 minutes, with them getting more and more flustered, he'd then say something like "Ok, can I have a programme please?" in his BROAD LANCASTRIAN accent, shove the money into their hands and walk off. Another favourite was asking if they had any programmes left, and if they said yes, he'd say "Well you shouldn't have printed so many then". I suppose you had to be there.

I've heard that works quite well in Halifax

That's quite funny actually I am sad though.
