Big win needed to get some confidence and to obviously progress to the next round.

Eagles 56-10 Leeds Met.

Im going for a crushing 24-10 victory

18-16 Eagles, Dane McDonald hat-trick

Eagles 46 - 4 Leeds Met

I don't was to disrespect Leeds Met but I do think it's time for the Eagles players to step up and show what they can really do it's time to entertain the supporters and express themselves.

And I do wish that this was at Bramall Lane.

Will Leeds Met be bringing "workshy students"? If so I hope we can get similar support from Sheffield-Hallam (Liam and ESO are not classed as workshy )

I hope i'm right and I don't disrespect Leeds Met but hoping for a big performance because otherwise our game against widnes will be an embrassment and we need a good performance if all those new fans we hope to entice with the opens days in town and the LGBT community with the shirt we are wearing come and watch...

Think we will run away with it 1st half and they wil get a few easy tries when we slack off near the end. - I did say we'd win haven and hunslet though...

Glad I got a mention airborne as non-workshy as i'm on my placement year, 9-5, Monday-Friday, can't wait to be a student again come september, I miss daytime TV! (not to say I don't have a cheeky look on here when my boss isn't around )

Having stopped being a student and having entered the world of work, I really do miss Homes under the Hammer and Neighbours! Asked a mate who does sports science at Leeds Met if they are bringing many over, he hadnt heard a thing about it!

I think the open days in town are to try and attract the general public along but I agree, the work the club does with Hallam already, especially in terms of training facilities and players already I don't see why they shouldn't entice students.

The amount of students that live in halls around the Bramall Lane areas (must be around 4000, with the forge housing nearly 700 i think right next door to Bramall lane) and then add the huge number of students living in houses around the london road, shoreham street and ecclesall road & norfolk park area. I don't see why Eagles shouldn't peppper them with flyers for say £10 for 2 or 3 games then offer them a season ticket for say £40 for the rest of the games.

Hopefully the varsity match will be a curtain raiser to a game this year again too.

Apart from I missed watching saints and love RL the reason I started watching the eagles is that it was something to do on a sunday afternoon!

I'm assuming that the Eagles have to pay the visitors' expenses?
So lets make the students feel at home by having the after match food as cold baked beans, could even do it straight from the tin making the experience must more sustainable.

Actually that is probably better than the cr*p that DVS will serve them up.

Let's be honest, I was a total mismatch but well done to the boys on a professional performance and well done to Leeds Met who despite their obvious shortcomings never gave up and showed great maturity, I wish them well.

Honourable mentions to Danny Mills, who had a great game and showed us that maybe the Danny of old is still there, Jack who had a great go forward game and Jamie Cottle who showed great awareness and handling.

I'm still not sold on McDonald at half back. He wasn't great in the first half, second half better but still looked lost at times. Who picked MOM? And which game were they at?

Lastly, what a pitiful attendance. Shameful.

Looked awful but Didn't catch the attendance what was it?

Well done Leeds Met fullback John Paxton? I thought he was their MOTM

Well admitted.

According to Sporting life it was 350 - lowest of the day and sorry to say I was one of the non atttenders - but I'll be there for widnes even if Yere isn't ?
