Penny 5 played very well for Swinton.

Mr Hewer with a skin colour between David Dickenson and Jodie Marsh was his usual bad self for both sides but perhaps a better referee may have put the first half tackle on Misi.



My Eagles motm Nozzer for yet another selfless hardworking performance.

In addition the curse of Cutts Travel has been laid to rest (albeit a very minor blip) which makes me wonder whether HL is actually the true Mr Jinx.



The blip was missing the M1 exit and doing an almost complete circuit of the roundabout I say almost because we actually went back onto the M62 LOL

Yes the being offside at every tackle and the continuous forward passing was tiresome but despite that I'd say you lot just about deserved the win

We are half a season of experience away from beating the likes of yourselves and our results against all the top sides prove it. Indeed we could have won yesterday uf we hadn't given the ball away so much,but indeed thats as much as the difference was yesterday that little lack of experience.

Sheffield are a very strong team with no weaknesses from 1 to 17.

I certainly enjoyed the match.

HL travel ran a very successful trip to Carcassonne...with no flight delays either!

What makes you think Swinton were taken lightly ? It was pretty much the same team as last week. We didn't rest anybody.

I saw Swinton play Halifax the other week and narrowly (and unluckily) lose so I wasn't taking anything for granted. I think Swinton are a far better team than either York or Hunslet. It has to be said that the two interception tries we gave away, plus missing two relatively easy kicks, did make the score look closer than it should have been, but Swinton jumped on our mistakes, and credit to them. I think the point about experience is very valid. We struggled the first couple of seasons in this division. I thought all in all it was a very entertaining game, if a little nerve wracking for us.

True and not via Ilkley either





Has to be Martin then or Neil who are the Jinxes

It'll be me then. I've been on more late trains than I've had hot dinners (although technically the fact they're late is more to do with the train companies than me, so I'm not responsible for the delays!!!). I used to have a mate who kept a record of all the delayed trains he'd been on throughout a season. In 1981 the delays totalled 486 minutes. That's 8 hours and 6 minutes. Of course, several Eagles supporters experienced a similar delay in ONE TRIP returning from Carcassonne!!!

I bet the winter nights flew by in his house.

Sounds like he spent most of them in a train station!
