Physichull - did you go to the Wigan game today? I'm not coming over until the new stand is finished. I'd get a better view from my own back garden than standing in the current away end :).

Some friends who did go are going mental about what they claim was a late, high shot on Blake Green by Corey Patterson. Did you see it? They are the most one-eyed set of fans you'd ever meet and I was looking to put a bit of perspective into it
 
Sadly not. A week in the Tenerife sun beckons. It is a top weekend if you can make it. I recommend Sinclairs Oyster Bar in the city centre. £2.20 a pint :)

Can't blame you for that!

I think a four game ban was fair. It was really not a nice challenge and a deserved punishment really.

Been a bit of a glum time to be a Rovers fan so far. Doubts over funding, woeful performances, lots of mistakes on the field leading to bad losing scorelines.

Today is important though, we need to beat Wakefield. I'd argue that this match will make or break our season.
 
Just got back from London. Top weekend as usual, but you really worry for the future of London. They were urine poor from 1 -13. Wigan were clinical, but we'll have a better idea of how well they are playing after the next 2 games (Leeds and Wire). Nobody will remember this game if Wigan get knocked out in week 2 of the play offs
 
It's all over Sky Sports today "Technology still gets things wrong"... umm, no... it just shows that no matter how much technology you give a human being they still make mistakes.
 
Yeah I couldn't believe they gave that. As soon as I saw the first replay I was like "nah offside by a mile" then TRY popped up.

Scandal.
 
And, that was total a forwards pass in the build up for their try on their right hand side, I forget who scored.

But it was blatant.

Feeling really cheesed off today.
 
Eden should have caught it, but thats by-the-by.

I have to admit at the time I did not notice the offside, but then again I was pumped full of alcohol and it was not my job to push the try/no try button.

Have to say it was a great showing from both the Hull KR and FC fans, lots of numbers. It was a shame to see a few fights brewing between the FC's own fans. Too much drink and sun? There was also a fair big incident and a little incident between the 5 Saints fans that attended!

I saw one (quite hilarious) incident between a Rovers fan and an FC fan. Once that last ridiculous try was scored, these FC fans not far from us turned around and started dancing so a Rovers fan threw a beer over him (immature, but hilarious nonetheless!). So he got mad and decided to retaliate by throwing beer back. He missed and soaked a Saints fan in front of him.

It was brilliant.
 
Sounds like some cracking games of RL tonight. Rovers were brilliant today beating Huddersfield. Finally some good form from Rovers after the disappointing derby defeat. To put it in perspective a bit more, we are only 2 points behind Catalan Dragons who would be largely regarded as having a much better team than HKR, we are also now two places above St Helens. Hopefully we can turn this into a rich run of former and pick up another few victories for the run in to the playoffs.

Close game between Widnes and Wigan tonight!
 
No but speaking of the down under types, rumours abound that Cory Patterson's wife is homesick and HKR have agreed to release him at the end of his contract.

Hope its not another Joel Moon "homesickness"....
 
Can't say the idea of an Exiles game does anything for me. Reading some interesting stuff about a Lions tour to Aus/Nz in 2015. I haven't been to an international since GB split up (after never miising one for years), but I fancy a 'proper' Test match
