Quote: Super Alf Macklin "I think if they avoid key injuries, which is stating the obvious, Rovers will be better in the Middle 8's going into the game with a winning mentality, than a demoralised SL team, whose fans will be downbeat and expecting their team to perform badly. Add to that Sheens' experience and coaching ability and I see them back in SL at the first attempt. I'd say their squad is better than Widnes and possibly Huddersfield already.'"
The big hurdle to overcome is that those seven games come thick and fast. The quality of refereeing in the Championship each week varies wildly from ok to almost laughably poor, if you think SL is inconsistent...Though I guess it isn't so long ago since you were out of SL so your fans will perhaps have a better idea of what to expect.
I know my club certainly struggled to adapt, but Leigh showed last year that if you throw enough money at it you might have a chance. We had a clown in Ferres who threw money at the wrong players and that ended in disaster! Barring any meltdowns, KR should have top spot wrapped up already though and especially given your extra game at the bash is against a young Bradford side. What a joke concept that is!
