Explain.....

Yes it was. The Eagles fans had been on his back throughout the game so you can hardly blame him.

Awwww bless him.

I think Sheffield fans and Mr Aston have to get their bitterness towards our two stars out of their system. It's whiny and a bit sad to be honest.

Your first paragraph. I completely agree, he is not ready to referee at this level, he completely lacks any authority and made decisions that baffled both sets of fans. He was equally as bad for both sides, so I suppose that evens it up a little.

Your second paragraph. You feel injustice, why? If your team had taken the two points and made it a draw I would have felt injustice after your first two tries contained easily seen forward passes!!. At the moment we are not even an average side, but thank you for the complement. If Halifax got the nod for superleague in July (which I dont believe we will) how would we get battered week in week out. Do you really believe that if this was to happen it would be exactly the same team that was playing the likes of Bulls, Rhinos, Warriors etc???

Your third paragraph. This happens at every ground I have ever been to, but as soon as the fans realised this was a serious injury the respect was shown by everyone. As for the mascot, just a bit of bad timing by him, and again as soon as he realised it was a bad injury he got up... No malice intended whatsoever.

I felt injustice because I thought we were the better team. I was screaming at them to kick for for goal but in all honesty we'd have probably missed, we're desperately short of a goal kicker without Browny on the pitch.

Maybe I went a bit overboard with the "you'll lose every week" comment and the injury incident, I probably should've waited until this morning to come on here to be honest, still I know what I heard and it wasn't nice, but I guess it's not to be unexpected from a minority of muppets.

I personally thought you were overall the better team, I thought your goal line defence was excellent. I always thought that you would take the game towards the end, especially with our silly short kick off inviting you to come and win.

You are probably right that you are short of a goal kicker, thankfully we have two or three recognised goal kickers, so even when we are short of the first kicker we do have options.

Shows what a difference it makes having Browny on there, we did really miss him after he went off but thankfully he is ok (concussion).

I still feel very aggrieved about the game, not so much that we didnt win, more that a great game was spoilt by the lack of control from the man in the middle. Given ive done the course and reffed games its difficult to watch without that "what would i have given there" view. The first thing we get taught is to look after the players, control them and keep a lid on tempers. This clearly didnt happen at all. I can name six or seven clear errors in the game (both sides, although we did get the worst of it).

The fight near the end was completely inevitable, given this games importance and with recent controversies between the clubs and inevitable tensions that go with that, we needed a strong ref, and we didnt get it.

This is not a personal swipe at Mr Turley at all, ive seen him at other games where he has done well and its good that young refs are making their way in the game. It was merely the wrong appointment for this game IMO.

As an aside: Im a huge fan of always taking the two when the chance is there, we didnt when we should have and fax did when they should have. They won by two.

We should've definitely kicked for goal, no doubt. Whether we would have got it or not is a different matter, but we'd have retained possession regardless (20 metre drop out).

Well, my 1st league away game, good day except for the result!

Mr Turley's performance today was a joke. Now i've refereed myself and I don't want to bad mouth him on an internet forum because i've seen him referee other games and he was good but I just don't think at his age he has the experience to control a game with men who are many years older than him. It was summed up when the fight nearer the hooter, in which Sheffield should of been penalised but he gave us the penalty!

Anyway, we missed Brown, no kicking game and needed him for the goals too. Think we need to get players in training practising goal kicks cause if we got 1 kick we would of drew!

Q is a good player but the same grubber kicks to the corner on every set was found out and we needed to get some high kicks up and vary the play.

Henderson was our stand out player and his quick plays from dummy half really help us in attack. Thought Rowe was excellent again in defence and overall our defence was good, just our attack was extremely flat.

Was a strange feeling for me out-singing a home side and I thought there was more than a "taxi full" of Eagles fans there which, after hearing about our shocking away support, was nice to see!

Let's move on and put in a good performance against Hunslet and get some confidence & attacking flair back!

Numbers weren't bad yesterday but there weren't as many as there were at Dewsbury and Batley which was disappointment, still a decent atmosphere though, our away support has definitely improved on last season, just gutted I can't make Toulouse, will be the first away game I've not seen for a couple of seasons.

Comon though ESO,youve missed loads of home games

I'll bite, I've missed two in that time.

You've missed 1 & half this season,Where was the other half last season?
I think a welcome additon to the animations would be a smiley with a fishing rod.
