Quote: Mrs Barista "We made a major final. The nearest Rovers have got to one, as said, is a 50 point ting 5 seasons ago.
We made one as a SL club and lost, Rovers made a Semi as a national league club... I'd argue those were similar achievements
Agar's rescued Yeaman's international career - he made the train-on squad but had to withdraw through injury.
Do you feel like you're going round in circles Mrs B?? I think you've put your point over and backed up impeccably as usual. With regards your points i think that, as much as we keep saying it, the injuries to the squad took their toll on Fitzy a little. Didn't Agar say early in the season that the plan was to rest him him but then injuries took over.. O'Meleys rib, and Radford's rib aswell IIRC

[iMaking[/i a final is only a relative success. Not that relative success isn't nice.

Your chum Mr Brindley's claim was that making a semi final was exactly the same achievement as making a final. On that basis, we should adopt a handicap system for the Super League competition.

As Brits, shouldn't we be saying 'reach', rather than 'make'?
Without endorsing Brindley's position, he did say 'similar', oh Queen of the subtle misrepresentation.
