16-44 Must've slipped out of 3rd gear

Na - Just a slow corner

Whatever the score finishes Sheffield deserve a big well done. Stood up to be counted and haven't been giving the drubbing most would of anticipated

34 - 50 Well played Sheffield



Think a few Wigan players may be doing extra tackle / defence work this week

Big well done to Sheffield. Pity they had those mad 10 minutes before half time, could of pulled off a major shock

It was indeed.

a great effort

It certainly was ... 24-all second half.

What was the crowd?

2,950 (according to the BBC).

Considering Wigan sold 2,500 alone, that's got to be wayyyyyy out

... and how many supporters do you think the Eagles have?

A lot more than 450! Especially for their biggest home game in about 10 years!

Well they got nearly 3,000 last week so a darn sight more than 450!

Wigan were poor today, Yere and Barnett were getting through fairly easily for the whole match and caused us big problems down their side of the field. Sam Tomkins and Paleaasina were the only Wigan players to really stand out I felt.



Ian Smith had an absolute shocker refereeing IMO though, missed some very obvious knockons and penalties that even my friend who was only at his 2nd ever RL game noticed.

I agree with you about Ian Smith,he is by far the worst referee in the league.

This was a wakeup call for all the cocky wigan fans. Reading their board over the past few weeks it seems their fans are confident of winning both trophies on offer at a breeze. When you point to the saints game and how many chances we blew, it was down to great defence on wigans part. Now that a bunch of part timers manage to put 34 past them, its because wigan were off their game.



Leeds were immense today and showed what they are about. The wigan team is nowhere near that level of ability.

Yes they got over 2,800 but a great number of those will have made the short trip from Featherstone.



I do concede however that there should have been more than 450 Eagles supporters there today ... my comment was intended to be a little tongue-in-cheek, they are our local rivals.

Clutching at straws much? Top of the league and next round of the cup, that's all that matters.

Sheffield were superb IMO. The same team didn't turn up for us! Expect a response on friday, a big one!

Oh bugger, looks like our winning run will be just a little jog...

I winder if the crowd announced was the number of paying punters, ignoring the free season ticket holders from Wigan?

They've now corrected the attendance to 3,950. Sounds about right to me. Didn't seem that many Sheffield fans there.

Where have they corrected it?
