Sheffield more than played their part in a cracking game. No stick from me about your support, the taunts should be aimed at those who didn't turn up (including a few of our own), you can't do much more than just turn up yourselves!

Matt, Jack Dearden said it was the finest advert for Champ RL he has ever seen and would grace a SL cup game. It sounded fantastic listening to it ont radio over here. I'm just glad it was us that won as at one point I think it could have gone away from us. Hope you don't have too big of a hangover tomorrow. Or today in England.

Well i'm sorry to say but I think that second half was one of the worst i've ever seen us play. We had absolutely no game plan once we went down to 12 and we had no leadership at all. It was every man for himself and it showed when the Leigh player had a entire half of the pitch to himself.

Congratulations to Leigh and their fans were a credit to the club.

I have to agree with all of this, we looked dead on our feet and out of ideas heads simply dropped after the sendings off Take nothing away from leigh a fully deserved victory congratulations

Its going to be a big test for us with 3 games in just over a week a big performance friday needed

What a great game it could have gone either way at more than one point, also well done to the Sheffield fans that travelled enjoyed speaking to a few of you, good luck for the rest of the season.

The turning point for me was the sendings off. Leigh seemed to take it in their stride, Eagles panicked. Shoulders dropped when Leigh scored from the field goal and it was virtually game over. Again as in the Broncos match Eagles lost control of the ball far too often. Need to get back on track against Keighley on Friday.

Think you're being a tad harsh on yourselves there as you did at least score a try out wide on your left, taking advantage of the space vacated by Maden. A couple of Fax fans stood near us mentioned that they'd never seen Sheffield's heads go down so much in recent years, although I'd say that was as much to do with the mistakes on your own line where we were getting repeat sets than as much the drop goal.

Agree with all that, Matt, but the turning point was definitely the elbow.

Two turning points for me. The sendings off the first and the second was at 8 points up in the second half, Q elected to go himself instead of passing to the two unmarked players on his right and at 14 points in the lead things would have been different. Q redeemed himself passing to the right where he was penalised by a man in a blue top who then changed his mind and allowed us to play on despite momentum being lost, resulting in an interception.
Too many mistakes in key areas.
Well done to the Lathers who adapted better in the last quarter.

You must mean the blatant one by henderson I think on Mcnally which the ref missed. I think the one you are talking about is probably the one that didn't actually make contact but you did kick the resultant penalty which was awarded for it. Oh and as for the attendance by sheffield fans which people are being polite about, well it was embarrassing. So tell me how exactly do you pay and house the south sea islanders and aussies.

For me, both teams played their part in an exciting final. And to Eagles fans - two successive defeats may be hard to swallow, but neither of them affected your league position - at the top!

I agree with most of that having just watched the game again. But we are Leythers not Lathers.

I must say however you have a good pack and an even better backline at 16 24 I was thinking the worst but some bad errors in the last 20 mins gave us the game.

PS Who do you think us Leythers will play in the Grand Final ?
