Leigh Sports Village this coming sunday, NRC action.

I think we'll lose unfortunately, Leigh 36-16 Eagles.

I'll go with a defeat too, still be happy if we improve drastically on last week though. They seemed to let a few easy ones in last week so..

Leigh 48 Sheffield 22.

Im going for a draw again.

Easy win.

Leigh 28-Seagulls 14 no wagging fingers from Bergin this game, .

Did he wag his finger? The camera was too busy looking at a Leigh player on the floor than who actually won the game.

im on the same boat especting a lose but the boost of alex szotak could be a match turner. if he plays. d mc may not be a half but he has two sisters on his cv.lol

Good Doctor , he deffo wagged his finger ,and what is all that waving of his fingers about after scoring Sheffs first try? Still i think it will be a close game ,but a Leigh win is a cert.

Don't know about it being a cert Ian, think like you say it will be a close game.

If there is no Wood and Brown and keeping much of last weeks team I fear 50 points against us with us being luck to get a couple of interceptions!

Duo doubtful for Eagles


HALF-BACKS Kyle Wood and Simon Brown look set to miss Sheffield Eagles trip to Leigh Centurions at the weekend.


It is a major selection headache for coach Mark Aston with a place in the knockout stages of the Northern Rail Cup just about guaranteed for the winner of Sunday’s game.

“We will go with what we have available on the day.” said Aston. “We’ll have to look and see who’s fit – I’m not sure Simon will be fit. Kyle has a dead leg and we’ve got to check on him.

“The team won’t be too much different from last weekend because we haven’t got many options.”

Wood, on loan from Huddersfield Giants, was injured in the draw with Whitehaven and Brown is struggling to recover from a groin strain.

Hallam student and English Universities international Pat Smith is likely to get the call-up at scrum-half with loose-forward Dane McDonald continuing his stand-in role at stand-off.

Facing them at Leigh on Sunday (kick-off 3pm) could be the experienced pairing of former Kiwi star Robbie Hunter-Paul and Mick Govin.

It is a crucial game for both teams with, at the half-way point in the group stage, Leigh unbeaten and Eagles having recorded a win and a draw from their opening matches.

I suppose we're due that combination, we've not had the same half-back pairing yet all season
