Mc Banana is clueless. Even though we are having troubles at Osdal, I would never have him back here.

Even the RFL left it as long as they could to find someone else, but, still ended up with him.

Been there, done that and got the ttshirt....twice!

Got hammered at Murrayfield then a week later at their place we got hammered again. Its a good job we have restored some pride though because Saints just cant beat us at home.

Aye, is it true that KR are deep in debt now????

Leeds money has run out also and there is going to have to be cuts at the end of the season too - Taxi for Hetherington!
 
Saw the second half of the Catalan game on a very dodgy feed today (literally a French guy with a webcam pointed at his TV). Wigan looked pretty good throughout. A really nasty ankle injury to Dudson, some pretty slick handling from the Wigan backs and a high shot by McIlorum that we'll probably hear a bit more about. Apparently there was a real coat hanger on Tomkins in the first half that I didn't see.

I went to Montpelier last season. It lashed it down pretty much all day and Wigan lost. Bloody typical.
 
Pretty evenly matched game at Twickenham today. Very strange incident at the end though. The clock stopped at 4.19 and stayed that way while play continued. Other fans have reported up to 6 to 8 minutes passing before they scored their try. The hooter apparently went (heard on the radio) after the try but we couldn't hear it from the opposite stand.

Reports from at least one player on twitter suggest no one on the side lines knew how long was left. Amateur really.

Nah. We lose money each year but the board underwrite it and cover the costs. This isn't the long term plan though, the north stand development is crucial to Rovers pretty much breaking even, better corporate facilities, office spaces and restaurants, of which, work is well under way.

On the back of that, an announcement is expected soon to confirm the plans for the south stand development. Much on similar lines, where it is a functional building space which conveniently has some seasts on the roof for the fans on matchday! Its all leading to a more sustainable business plan, or so we are told, in making us more self sustainable.

The development of the youth and academy system is really starting to reap its rewards. Altogether, there are many things in the pipeline in place to ensure long term survival and hopefully soon the directors will no longer need to underwrite the losses.

A similar sort of thing happened at Rovers v Saints earlier in the season. They have independant timekeepers keeping track of the time, so whatever goes on with the clock that is visible to fans is entirely independant of the official clock.
 
Wow, what a performance by Rovers. Smashing Huddersfield at the Galpharm is no mean feat, and we should know (I've been there about 6 times and not seen a single Rovers victory since our first year of SuperLeague).

Michael Dobson was absolutely fantastic and we did it all without Blake Green too which was pleasing. Craig Hall just seems to slot in effortlessly into the stand off role. Brilliant game and am a very pleased Robins supporter now, only 1 point off 4th place! I guess that shows how tight it is up there now (Wigan aside!).

Fantastic performance, just watching the replay now.

Hope to see Hull KR in the playoffs, loving the fact that Leeds are out of the playoff at the moment!
 
Hearing some interesting bits about the game.

It appears the Chief Exec at Huddersfield went in to the dressing room afterwards and went ballistic with the coach and players. Apparently, he felt the club was humiliated by the defeat.

The Giants period of dominance is now coming to an end.

Congrats to the Rovers, a well deserved win!

p.s Lets keep the Rhinos out of the 8 :-))

Just watching the State of Origin game. It is BRUTAL! Never seen such brutal rugby league like it, glad I'm not playing in it!

This is why Australia will crush England year after year, intensity, physicality, and above all pure skill of the Australians. This level of rugby is far ahead of superleague. We have nothing like it.

Someone at work said the England v Exiles is our version. Exiles are just Aus cast offs or has bins that cant get into the Kangaroo's team, and even they we either labor to victory or get beat.

The fact we resort to picking players such as Rangi chase instead of english lads is a joke, remember Fasavalu?


light years behind them and will be for a long long time to come.
 
Agree. Brutal game, one Queensland player went off with an enormous cut to the shin, Cronk sin binning deserved, unlucky not to get a penalty try. I don't watch the NRL much but this game is just savage. No other words for it.

I watch as much as i can get my hands on, much much better standard. Cooper Cronk deserved his 10. I thought it was a penalty try, Slater was coming in but im 100% certain that the ball would have been grounded had it not been for Cronk.

In my eyes, below International Rugby league this is the best you can watch anywhere in the world. I know im English, and will support Bradford Bulls and GB/England to my dying day, but anyone with sense knows what im talking about.
 
Good game in the end with a tense finish. New South Wales really were under a lot of pressure in that second half, conceding drop out after drop out and the pressure showed when Queensland got that try. But they just couldn't finish all their chances to win the match and NSW finished with a strong last 10 minutes to close out the game.

Glad it tied the series to 1-1 now though.

Here's to a good England vs Exiles game.....hmmmmm.....just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
 
Anyone taken advantage of the 2 x Shirts and Ticket offer for the Exiles games?

Got myself an Exiles shirt an England shirt and a ticket to the game in Huddersfield for £34!!

Check it out on the RFL ticket website, worth it even if you throw the ticket away tbh!
