| To win at Widnes is a good result anyway but to win the week before the cup final and with the team you put out is fantastic.
Just hope you have a cup hangover when we play you

| Fantastic result. With half our team out as well!! That has pretty much secured our Super league status now, a win against Wakefield and Sheffield is probably going to put us in the top two.
Rest easy now, there's only a small matter of a challenge cup final to deal with now. . Let's bring it on and have a week that we all can enjoy since 1986.

| Toughest fixture of the 8s on paper and we won it while resting a handful - great result.

| Dire game, but a fabulous result under the circumstances. 2 good tries chalked off too both looked fine to me. Most importantly, no injuries, so a full squad apart from Campese to select from. Chester has some tough decisions to make in the pack & full back slots.
We have plenty to spare now going into the last 4 games. We could lose a couple and still finish top 3, but I can't see that with the 3 toughest all being at Craven Park.
May as well push on for a league & cup double now.

Should win our home games, Salford seem to be on self destruct and Wakey are nowt special. The other two games against Championship clubs should be wins. Lets hope complacency doesn't set in. I reckon if we stay injury free and don't lose heart if we lose next week, we should be safe. Be nice to win all 7 though.

| Excellent victory! That kind of game earlier in the season would have been 1 12-18pt loss but having a point to prove RE selection for next week seemed to have been sufficient motivation for the lads who played today.
The defence was excellent today in particular, Widnes are nobodies fools and had plenty of attacks at our line, especially in the second half. Great work by the rovers today

| CC needs to adopt the same plan next week. Tell the Wembley team that those who perform will be picked for the Wakefield game.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

| Very, very good professional performance in a pretty awful game today.
Widnes were terrible, we played the conditions better and managed the game much in part to Matty Marsh's excellent kicking game.
I agree that Allgood has just got himself a Wembley shirt, Ollett and Donaldson will probably miss out but both were hugely committed in defence today.
Very much enjoyed the community singing at the end, the connection between players and fans is a joy. ManTomato is having the time of his life.
No idea why we signed Jism, on current form if everyone was fit he's fifth choice in the halves.

He will be on the plane home in 5 more games though, so it really was a means to an end. Marsh was impressive though and if we'd shown a little more trust in him we could have saved the bother of flying DC over for a few games.

| Have to say hats off to your coaching team. Even with the whole Middle 8s meaning something to play for, it would have been very easy for the players to focus on Wembley. As it is you've kept grinding out the wins, which IMO is the best possible way to prepare for a cup final as well. I think the final will be a lot closer than many people think (I certainly hope Leeds players don't disrespect KR as much as some fans seem to).

Agree with all of that, thought the general feel in the stand was brilliant, real buzz and togetherness. Best league away fixture i've been to in a while and it was one I was wondering why I was bothering before hane. Most in the pubs were of the opinion that if we kept it respectable it was a good result. So a win was a massive bonus.
The proprs for the final will be a big call. Though Green and Allgood both played well as did Tilse.
Jism has a pretty good short kicking game but very little else. Marsh gives us more as he can do all that and add defence to it as well. If Albert is fit I'd be dissapointed to see Jism picked in front of infront of Marsh for the rest of this season.

| Extremely gritty performance yesterday from the boys in the pouring rain. A great team spirit and the lads really worked for each other. Our attack looked a bit disjointed at times but then again it was the first time Marsh and Chisholm had played together. Good kicking game from Marsh, Chisholm not so good apart from maybe one decent kick but it will come. I thought the forwards were immense today Algood, Boudebza, Burke and Ollett stood out for me defensively and James Green reminded me of a young Barrie McDermott with his drives today no holding back at all. And I must mention Lawler who acquitted himself brilliantly and did not look out of place whatsoever he will be a player for next year and the lad even got a debut try well played young man
