I agree ESO - a strong Eagles side should be able to get past Hunslet.

Friday is forecast to be wet and our record hasn't been good this season when it's rained heavily.


Eagles to win by 24 ish so perhaps 32 - 8

Crowd to be low because England are playing and it's not part of the season ticket package - around 500

MOTM if selected Jack Latus

I'm changing my prediction for MOTM

I'm going for Adrian Moorhouse

We're a football city, England playing in the Euros, we were against a team that we were always going to thrash, game not on ST, crap weather, we were lucky to get as many as we did.

We never really got out of 2nd gear tonight, did what we needed to, nice to have a big, fat zero next to Hunslet's name but to be fair they never looked like scoring. Without wishing to be too harsh they were absolutely hopeless.

Four more tries for Q, he looks to be set to break Iva Ropati's record.

The pitch looked soaking from the stand with quite a bit of surface water but lots of grass and in good condition despite how much it had rained. I think that we'd have had 3 or 4 more had the conditions been better.

Did you "win" the half time draw, nice to hear the winner coming from the tarts section of the crowd again

Agree the Q looks like he'll beat Iva Ropati's record.

Suspect the Joe Hirst's sneck is a bit battered

Someone had to deputise for HL.

At last - tickets have arrived.

No. To be fair to Hunslet, they're missing a couple of key players in Danny Ratcliffe and Danny Grimshaw and they never looked like they were going to create much.
