Quote: ryano "Well said Sir. I used to go with a mate who follows Batley and saw them a few times at CP and from where you are now to those days is an immense improvement.
10 years ago we were losing a CC Final to Hull FC but the other week beat them with half a team without getting out of 2nd gear so I don't know what they're beating their chests about. You are right to feel proud as you earned the right to be there despite some jokers claiming you beat no one. Wigan,Wire and Catalans? I can understand the rivalry but when it makes people spout crap like that it's laughable. Great supporters as well!'"
It's just win-win all round, then. Leeds fans getting grumpy because we're giving KR a bit of stick over the result is the icing on the cake for me!
There's a big difference between the clubs. Yes; it's great for the fans that KR have improved. But despite getting a record drubbing, they're still upbeat. Still had a good day out. Still having a reception at the City Hall to mark the occasion. We, on the other hand, were grumpy, angry and generally peeved after the 2013 game to the point that it cost the coach his job. Rovers went for a good day out. We went to win, and when we lost it wasn't good enough.
Leeds have been a class above every other team this year. No-one would have beaten them. Other teams, however, would have given them a better game.
