Rovers are a very well organised and drilled team. I wouldn’t say they are formidable. They are good at taking a lead and then building pressure. It will be interesting to see what Rovers are like if a team takes a 8-10 point lead against them or if they had a series of injuries (not that I would wish that on any team). 


I do think this is a weaker SL this season, so don’t know who will put pressure on them. I expect Wigan will come good and Warrington will improve now they have Sneyd. Saints and Cats are fading and Leeds are blowing hot and cold. So Rovers in the box seat at the moment, but many teams have faded after March in previous seasons.

why wont they have a better chance are they going back to the dark days theres still room for improvement ,as there is for every team,

All things come to and end like ours "You'll never win at Wembley" and the 1985 is close to ending but like Steve says KRs best chance is this season, I honestly think it will the CC or nothing, but they've got to beat us first which won't be easy(famous last words lol), Sneyd a massive bonus for Warrington and Wigan are potentially the two teams to stop them winning the Shield or GF.

Cracking individual try from Lindop. 

This leigh v wakey game sounds like it's being played behind closed doors.  No atmosphere at all

still dont know why Warrington went for Sneyd, quite clear they are light up front, if Saints had a decent spine last week, they would have easily beaten them, they seem to be a team that relies on speed and quick ptb, control that and they struggle

So it looks like we're going to finish the round clear in 2nd place. Who'd have thought that a couple of months ago?


Wakey winning comfortably at Leigh puts our away win last week into perspective. An excellent result as it's turned out. Also shows how gash leigh were last week and not really any better tonight

VR just handed Warrington 2 points!

Maybe our result against Wakey was better than we thought?

Batchelor starts for Saints this evening, Bell is 18th man again.

The end for bell?
