| Quote: Rotherham Fev Fan "I thought given the appalling situation the players taking the field found themselves in - they did ok!
5 first choices players out through injury/suspension, then losing Bstock to illness on the way over the hills, losing both centres immediately after kick off (yes I know Welham lasted half an hour, but in reality was playing on one leg), and Williams copping a deaf un to his leg! Given that scenario I was expecting a 50-60 point towelling. The onslaught never really happened.
We just didn't have the artillery to break out of the trenches.
Daryl's thoughts are more in line with what the physio room is looking like rather than the perception of lack of effort. He knows his players - well. They are not a team to slack off! They are a team under a great deal of unavoidable pressure at the moment - that's what he's worried about!
Like I said, not the first time I've seen Fev lose - it won't be the last! This time last year I wasn't making predictions of world domination and that we'd "smash teams to bits"!
This year, I'm not making any predictions for armageddon either!!

| Any win against a top team is a great result. Especially stopping them getting a bonus point. This was clearly a very poor, depleted Fev though and we should have had them dead and buried by half time. Instead there were long periods in the game where we seemed to lose interest and concentration and although the result never really looked in doubt, we made hard work of it. We were much better with Hill and Mills on the field, but still no invention. We still don't have a clue when we are in their 20m area. There was one point in the second half where 5 of our players were stood still under their posts passing the ball around like it was a training exercise. No one actually knew what to do with it. We have a much better squad than last season IMHO but, could do better would be my summary of last night.

Crowd was lower than I hoped but over 2000 imho'"
That's technology for you Neil. I think that the attendance is actually based on 'clicks' of the turnstile though - although could be wrong on that.

| Quote: gingdong "No fixture arranging from Rovers i dont think Bramall Lane available good friday so they re-arranged the game for cup final weekend, Rovers wernt going to say no were they. What comes round goes around i always think, enjoyed himself tonight did old Mick Nanyn waving his arms around after scoring and running 20 points in fair play to him. Lets see what hes like playing a fresh Rovers with players back after he has had a hard game 3 days before'"
Didn't mean to suggest Rovers are to blame - in the bad old days, the RFL used to ask clubs who ground-shared, when their ground was unavailable. The idea was that fixtures could be "planned" (!) accordingly, but the RFL never used to take much notice of what the clubs told them, anyway! On more than one occasion Leigh have played an Easter fixture, AFTER the football game - i.e. on the same day!
In passing, I thought all clubs, except Skolars, were banned from playing on Cup Final weekend? And finally, what's going to happen to the fixture when Fev get to Wembley?

I dont agree with it, nor do i agree with dual reg and many other issues but they make the rules we just have to follow them, i also thought no clubs could play cup final weekend and it does say on the Rovers Website that the game is providing neither team is in the previous days wembley final. But sadly the Rfl have seen to it that neither of the said 2 clubs will ever be in the final again

They (RFL) have such an enormous list of Operating Rules - I wonder if any of them are actually workable?
Leigh haven't really got any grounds to complain about playing Friday when Fev are resting) and again on Monday - last season we were in Toulouse on the Friday, and had to get back through Easter traffic, to play again on the Monday!

| Band? Does that not connotate instruments and therefore musical talent. Dancers who mime is what i'd call them.
