Game 19 - Workington Home : Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:39 pm  

Back at Castle Park for a massive match at this stage of the season. Absolutely vital we get back on the horse this weekend but it isn't going to be easy with Jarrod Sammut making his debut for our Cumbrian counterparts and former Eagles second-rower Alex Szostak adding to their already very strong back-row. For us, keeping 13 on the field will be a good start!

All previews, predictions, articles leading up to the game and any other shenanigans will be posted on this thread.

Prediction - Sheffield Eagles 28-16 Workington Town

I thought it was easy to take positives from our defeat at Leigh. We tried to make a game of it despite the loss of a half back and although the first half interceptions were more passes straight to them than any hard work or 'reading' by them at least the second half saw a reduction in that aspect and the commitment and spirit was there for all to see for the full 80.I thank the players for there efforts in a difficult environment. I hope confidence and concentration is high for this one. Sammut seems to enjoy debuts - Super League Championship add in an ex-Eagle and some Wigan dual reg and we will need the supporters onside from the off. This is the start of the build up to put right what went wrong last time at Leigh.Let's get back to Leigh - or get them to South Yorkshire. #Jointhejourney

I get the feeling this is going to be a hugely difficult game and one where continual encouragement from the crowd is vital.

Strange kick off time - long trip for the Workington players which allows for a strong bond to grow - new blood in the team - debuts - and with Wigan out of the cup and no fixtures until next week,a possible opportunity for a household name or two to be in the dual reg. contingent.

A chance for our players to start a winning run before we meet those sides near to us in league position and enjoying a good run of form.

I hope Cory is given the opportunity to play 80 minutes.

A bigger incentive than finishing in the top 4 and the opportunity to play Leigh again;this time 13v13,will hopefully be the driving force required.

#Jointhejourney 5.15pm ko. Be there!
