No problem,As you can guess i dont like your club or the way it gets run and i dont like the fact how you belittle so called smaller clubs when you should take a leaf out of their book as they are better run and dont go tits up every season with the begging bowl out like yours.Also your fans are rather arrogant and seem to enjoy taking the phiss out of the smaller clubs both on and off the field,A bit like the stupid country mile comment,Your club is a bit of a bully and a bully doesnt like to be confronted and i'll assure you tonight they will be win.lose or draw they'll be no backing down and you know youve been in a game and for the good of rugby and the integrity of the sport ,The Eagles to win.

Well, I expect we'll be playing them on a regular basis.

No chance of Superleague having them in the foreseeable future after this season.

They might have ticked the Grand Final box but the others are empty.

Exactly!

* Don't tick turnover box
* Don't tick the attendance box
* Decided not to bother signing up to the RFL academy programme (unlike Eagles and Fev)
* Too near to Bradford

At least they're not as whiney as Leigh fans though. I wish they'd give it a rest with their "the world is against us" bit.

My view, for what it's worth (and I'm trying to view it without my blue and white specs on) is that it's not about honouring a contract per se, it's more the wording of it ie - do the playoffs count as "the season"?

On our side of the fence, we're short on bodies plain and simple so we need him to play. On your side of the fence, you know we're decimated by injury and it's the perfect distraction to play head games.

Plus it's big money game for the victor and to add to that Radio Leeds was reporting this morning that the clause not to play was only verbal between Sheffield and Sam.

Would Sheffield be making such a song and dance about it if he'd signed for a team you'd be confident of beating, say, in a lower down division? I can't help thinking that it's less about morals and principle and more to with gaining an advantage because your coach isn't confident of beating us.

Thoughts?

PS - I've read a lot about him being a "liability" on here. He might have been in the Red & Gold, he certainly hasn't been in the Blue & White. I hope he does play and it adds to the spectacle. Safe journey over to all this evening icon_thumb.gif

I have to be honest, I'm really not fussed whether he plays or not! Just looking forward to a good game of rugby!

The main problem as I see it is that you are pretty blinkered by your own club, and why not I say.

Okay you dont like our club, but you assume that all fans of that club are against smaller clubs, a point of which you couldnt be so wrong. there are many fans at our club who believe that WE have been bullied for years by the bigger clubs and we need the smaller clubs around us in order to survive.

I think it is fantastic what Aston has one, although his methods are not always smiled upon by other, after being forced into the silly merger with Huddersfield (so that they could have the £1M) and long may you survive. I just wish that the public of Sheffield would get behind them and start to turn up to games, both home and away.

However on the issue of Barlow. If you check out posts there are many on our own board (me included) who say we shouldnt play him, as we cannot afford another negative publicity issue. Thats said if they do play him tonight, believe me I will be shouting him on to do his best against you, as you will probably shouting him on to fluff his lines (if you come along that is).

Fair enough,I just think it's a bad thing in anyform in life in general,If you give your word or sign somthing to say you wont do somthing,It's a pretty poor act as a human being when you go against your word,thats just my opinion,see what happens but if you do win there will always be that question mark hanging over the game,I'm sure your fans or chairman wont be worried,It's just about code of conduct but hey ho.

Agreed, I put a post on our own forum, Its not good for Halifax to do this as its just more bad publicity, also what if we want someone else from sheffield in the future, they are going to be reluctant to release.

However, I must say that in business you have to be ruthless to survive in this climate, many clubs including us are struggleing, but looking at this year it is clearly our own BOD who have caused the problems.

Early exit from Northern Rail cup becuase we did not know a draw would have put us through and rushed a Conversion against Hunslet.
Michael Ostick playing for 2 teams in Challenge cup - results in a early exit.
Stanley Gene sacking - Must honour a five month payment.
Sam Barlow - Just what we need.

It would be nice to see some Eagles fans at the Shay for a change. I see your club as doing very well out of three away fixtures that are shared gates, so why shouldn't you travel & contribute to the funds ?

Very good points,In business you do have to be ruthless but you also need to treat people with respect and if you look after somebody you expect it in return,Rob Worrincy shook on a deal with Mark then joined Fax,Barlow agrees not to play then after his release and the play-off carrott dangling he now wants to (He might not play) I suppose it's more to do with the character of the player,Surely its better for everybody if we all scratch each others back and play fair,But thats life i suppose.

You may be at Wire on Sunday, but you'll be in court on Monday. There is a serious case here.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



The only people who really know the deal with Barlow are the ones involved , but tonight it was down to one thing , that was Sheffields terrible goal line defence in the first half , any of the top eight would have punished you for it

But you have done extremely well , from An attacking point of view you have only been second in this league to Fax
