Not since about 1994. Roger Mellie was a particular favourite of mine.

Didn't his brother play for St Helens a couple of years ago?

good game today 2 well matched sides our pack just shaded it best of luck for the rest of the season

I was always a fan of "The Pathetic Sharks".



Thanks, I thought we had the better players, but you were by far the better ten. Bette seems to be doing a really good job for you. And thank you to the man that recommended a pint of Merrman, very nice, sorted my beak right out.

Tough game today and it could have gone either way in the end but i always felt we were just that bit better, we have a load of players out injured at the moment so I'm just glad we picked up the 2 points. I was impressed with Sio from you guys and Albert Kelly always looks dangerous, Great brain on Campese but he looks like he has the legs of a 40 year old.

Indeed it was tough Vikingman. It's hard to judge any half back when their pack is getting mullered as ours was today. Both Kelly & Campese have had better days. You may have had a few key ingredients (most notably Kev Brown) missing, but our problem was simple, only 2 props in the 17, as we have 1 suspended, 1 retired and 1 AWOL. Still, a good day out, the sun shone and I was impressed with the Rovers numbers today, I would estimate 800+ easily.

Great support from your fans today from all but one idiot. After Flynn scored went 90 yards direct from the scrum in the second half, the widnes team where returning back towards your fans end one of your fans was making racist monkey gestures towards Phil Joseph. This was reported promptly to the stewards but as usual no action was taken. There is no room in society let alone our wonderful game for racists and idiots and cowards as I very much doubt he would repeat this action face to face with Phil.
I am no way tarring your fans with the same brush as your support today was excellent, good luck for the rest of the season.

Totally agree all idiots like him want baning for good we over the years have had some very good black players some who I have in the past had a drink with and if i saw them today would have a drink with them again

I was surprised Kelly didn't take the line on more, he passed about 5/6 metres from the line the majority of time making him much easier to read. A player with him pace should be playing closer to the line.

Tough game and one both sides desperately wanted to win, Widnes were never behind so would have been cruel to lose it in the last 10 seconds. The fact that you guys only had 2 props may have prompted Denis to play with 4 forwards on the bench (we usually play with 3), seemed to work.

How's the 1970's?

It may pay you to read bambams post and cravenparks post,otherwise give the samaritans a ring before they ring you.

Without wanting to be preaching and I mean this is in the friendliest way possible, the word you used is no longer an acceptable one.

If you weren't prior to this point, you are an absolute shoe in for Moderator now Goose.

Let's move on, eh?

Before we do let us pray. You see I don't mind preaching if the need arises.

If there are 3 key things that have stifled our good nation since the 1970's, it's political correctness, civil liberties and health and safety in whatever order you like.

Not happy that political correctness has infiltrated this generally constructive thread here. In defence of DesLawson he made his post for the right moral reason, albeit using a bad choice of word. We've all got that TShirt. I would prefer it if those Rovers fans that were at the game and maybe witnessed this moron fan of ours making this gesture towards Phil Joseph could name and shame him or confront him if they see him at the next away game.

Sermon over.
