Quote Cronus="Cronus"More like Fijians and Sales Sharks players. I've never seen so many Fijians in one place (having never been to Fiji!), and we had 4-5 turn out against us as well. Talk after the game was a few lads from Sale also turned out for the 1sts?? Anyway they were running them in for fun against Cadishead, who I think fielded lots of youngsters.
We were starting to dominate our 2nds game and one came over in a 1sts kit, he changed tops and came on against us. Did lots of dancing around with the ball, lots of cheap shots before he took a big tackle and went off hurt.'"
One fijian started against you lads...manua...he plays like 4th team RU, doesnt play league norm....other one seta tala is also a cobras player...he just turned up late, was never in 1sts sat...just put wrong top in changing rooms!!, ahmed (ziggy) and anton grant clearly aint fijians, i dont go looking for fijians....there is just LOADS living in rochdale.....as for the 1 (yes 1 out of contract) RU player if he turned up at your training would u send him away??? he trained, he payed his subs...he played!!!!!! Its worth mentioning that when cobras started up it was with the backing of the Rochdale Fijian association whom we have an affiliation to and also their logo on our club crest! we forever get called due to having 'Loads' of fijians yet we only norm have 1 or two playing....two black lads who norm play in 1sts are not Fijian! we played 5 fijains against you at the end of the 09-10 season, one of em beaing T!!
as for the 88-6. its was not the usual cadishead team...but we were not to know that!!!! its normally close between us....everything seemed to go our way on sat, bounce of the ball...the ref...lads playing well in front of new coach...i heard stitched up a lot on sat??? we went down to Chester week b4 and got our behinds handed to us by lads who looked like they play at a much higher level....but we didn't say anything as we were prob wrong (as in this case)...u can only play whats in front of you!
