Do agree.

Sneyd is visibly fitter though, so you wonder what standards we have. Salford also play him alongside the very mobile Croft which means Sneyds lack of movement isnt as much of an issue.

And Abdull and Litten and Hadley.

Injuries are his biggest issue, had tol many, but we knew this would be a risk, probably a big earner too, should easily be in our 17 as it stands though, even if he doesn't stay.

Hadley

Playing the best rugby of his career. Played very well on year loan at Wakey but reverted to average when back with you. I was not impressed when we signed him but played well under Smith and moved up a gear this season under Peters. You may scoff but he is playing better than anyone in you pack at the moment. It must be very hard to raise a smile at the moment and your only pleasure is to get a dig at someone else.

Keith you have jusy decribed yourself.

That is exactley what you do, every day on here.

Without a doubt for me hes our best option at second row currentley. However we are talking small margins on him being better then Lane and Griffin on present form.

Not much between Griffin and Savelio for sure, at least they put a shift in and run hard.

Lane has been awful for a few years and lives off the odd run or try. 4 hits up Friday, can't be defended. He should be no where near the side, would rather play any of the reserve or academy bavkrowers in front of him.

No, I’m very happy. Following a club making progress. Enjoying all our matches even when we lose as I know we have competed. The wins are much better of course. The annihilations as on Friday are extra special. Do not confuse my jibes as sour grapes, those tend to come from the supporters of losing clubs. You should be appreciating that at the moment. This is the third season you have been the second club in the City. We finished lower than we should have done last year due the unfortunate actions of our then coach. We were in a playoff spot before the wheels fell off. Due to the great team spirit amongst the players and the coaching of Mags and Co we were able to recover somewhat and still give you a thrashing on your patch and finish above you. Our team spirit, enthusiasm and skill amongst the players, the up-to date coaching methods employed by Willie Peters are things FC supporters can only dream about. That is the difference between our two clubs. Never in decades of supporting Rovers, even in bankruptcy have any of our teams not shown team spirit and pride. I generally feel sorry for the supporters of teams at or near the foot of the table as we all know how upsetting and difficult that is. In FC’s case however that feeling changes to delight after having to endure the jibes from a “big” club. Long may your misery continue.

You could have just wrote, all I'm bothered about is finishing above Hull, would have saved alot of time Keith.

Enjoy it Keith because history tells me your period of "dominace" never ever lasts long. I mean we keep hearing that your club is on the up and we are light years behind you on and off the pitch. Yet our academy taught yours a lesson this weekend, youve made one final appearance this last decade and your meassure of success is buolt on a club that sits 11th and not first.

Make no bones about it Rovers are a good team but you are not making progress, Hull are just getting worse.

So bitter



You know Hull will always be the bigger club and it kills you. Enjoy your current run of "success" and try imagining how good it feels to celebrate your club winning a trophy or two rather than being temporarily less than the local rivals.
