oh i know that! i was replying to numpty's post

very true since rovers have come into super league they has been far too much emphasis on the derby and worrying about there league position instead of looking at it just like another game and targeting the top teams and that for me is stopping us from going up a level and challenging like we was before they came up!!

Maybe explains why they get more supporters at the KC than at Caravan Park!.
Annual big day out & all that.

Every year in the pub before the game I ask them how they got here ,was it on coach or train

The KC derby is their WCC , GF and Challenge Cup rolled into one.
Every dog has it`s day and Rover had his in Friday.

Regarding pearson, i think he had everyright to do what he did. He's got ambitions just like all of us. And as he saw many FC fans walking out with 15 minutes to go in the biggest game of the season (derby that is) it must of been an eyeopener


how did he see that when he left with mcrea with 20 minutes still to go?

The poor deluded fools stating you should be mixing it with the big boys do realise you currently have to get past us "smallfry" to get to them don't you?

Fair play to Pearson, cant blame him if true. The team needed to be told a few home truths, though I would i would have thought a huge amount of blame must be direced towards McRae and Gentle. Its their squad, its their tactics, its their coaching. Pearson is not a rugby league man and needed guiding by these two and looking on the evidence of players brought in and results, they are both failing miserably to help Pearson out.

Oh and Gentle in!!!

Not strictly true. We get to play the 'big boys' at least twice a season regardless of how we do against the 'small fry'.

First off, the tactics and coaching aren't anything to do with McRae.

Secondly, it isn't Gentle's tactics. That's a large part of the problem.

Thirdly, it all worked well enough last season with the same coach.

I thought McRae has an insight and influence of all thats going on at the club, a bit like Waites at Catalan. It wouldnt surpise me if he has a say.

It may have gone well last season, but this seasons signings have been poor, it wasnt just the supporters that believed all the hype, it was the whole rugby league community.
