Dewsbury Rams v Sheffield Eagles Championship preview: Rams look to transfer impressive away form to FLAIR Stadium
Dewsbury Rams will be looking to transfer their impressive Championship away form to the FLAIR Stadium when they entertain Sheffield Eagles on Sunday, March 29 (kick off 3pm).
The Rams have been in irresistible form on their travels so far in the league, winning all three of their away games at Hunslet, Newcastle Thunder and, more recently, Workington Town last Sunday.
And while they haven’t been terrible on home soil in 2026, they haven’t won at FLAIR Stadium since a 22-20 victory over Keighley Cougars on February 1.
Two home fixtures have followed since then where they were narrowly defeated by Goole Vikings, 16-14, and then 20-8 by Barrow Raiders - a tight affair which was 8-8 going into the final 20 minutes.
Sunday’s visitors have made a strong start to the campaign winning four of their opening five league games, and are level on points with Dewsbury.
That sole defeat for Craig Lingard’s men arrived last Saturday when they were beaten 36-30 at home to Oldham in a high-scoring thriller, despite leading 20-10 at half-time, ending their unbeaten start in the Championship.
Away from home they have already recorded victories at Whitehaven, Hunslet and Rochdale Hornets.
In their ranks they have former Batley Bulldogs star Josh Hodson. The centre left Mount Pleasant to join Super League outfit Castleford Tigers in 2024, to join Lingard who had moved to the Jungle, but has now rejoined the former Bulldogs head coach at Sheffield.
