Official West Hartlepool RFC

Wait until Robbo reads this in the Sheffield paper ...


“These were two wins that we really needed two weeks ago,” Byron told the Telegraph.

“We have still got a lot to do, but the pressure is off because we are the underdogs.

“We are in an uphill battle and no-one expects us to get out of this, but things are starting to work and we are playing with freedom.”

Sheffield will now go in search of their first away win of the season when they travel to the North East to take on third place West Hartlepool at Brinkburn.

Byron insists his team have nothing to lose when they take on this weekend’s opponents, and has highlighted the second 40 minutes as ‘crucial’ to their chances of returning to South Yorkshire with their third straight victory.

“We need to keep the game in our hands and the first target is to get four points,” Byron added.

“They’re very strong up front and we know we are going to absorb a lot of pressure in the first half.

“We are a fitter pack than what they are, though, and we will be looking to expose that in the second 40 minutes.

“The gloves off now and we need to go there and score as many tries as possible.”

Very good weather forecast and a an excellent surface so I suspect we will find out who has the fittest pack.
Good to see so many young forwards doing so well. How come Sam Miller hasn't played for the County Under 20s in the other games?

He must have made his comments before he found out Pinhead wasn't playing >>>>

The first team have always had a game on the weekend of previous games, but we don't next week so he has been asked to go on the bench for the Under 20s.

SCH you should come training one night and see how you fare up with some of the un-fit lads in our pack! Good to see that the rovers attitude hasn't changed much.

Pinhead

looks like West missed Pinhead 1 more than we missed Pinhead 2 >>>>what kind of rugby score is 6-3>>>made my weekend mind getting beat by the bottom club>>>
