They have 10 pros. Thats a deep roster.

and the only game they 'havent shown up' was Sheffield (at the end of back to back to back). (they were tied with Leicester with 3mins to go)

amazing how facts get mangled on this site.

Agree with that, they've 'showed up' in all games (bar Sheffield) but some details have been lacking. Lack of scouting report/not sticking to scouting report, especially on perimeter defence has been apparent in most games, coupled with what appears to be an iso heavy offensive system with little ball movement. Not sure if that's the plan on offense or if players are deviating, it's not going to work with a heavier (than most) schedule though.

It's not surprising they brought their A game to London (bright lights and all) but I'll be interested to see if it carries through to the weekend. Would hope they can at least grab a game this weekend.

It was a really exciting, close game but it left me with schizoid feelings. Disappointed Eagles didn't beat Lions but also rather worried about them playing as well against us this week!

Finally watched the game and everyone was right. Huge improvement from the Eagles in a good game for us. I was disappointed with offensive production from the bench and some decision making down the stretch but overall much better.
