Was at the game, so you do miss much of what you see on sky (if that makes any sence !!).

Thought Warrington out played us in many parts of the game, Thankfully Galea was a key player for us, well deserved MOM I thought.

As too the Fans, (you Wires) thought you out sang us (even over the noise of the Banker with the drum !!), and it appeared to be a lot more of you there than we brought up (thats looking from our section, your opinion ?).

After the game enjoyed a few sherberts or seven with your Fans down Princess street, although it took a few whiskeys to warm up after that cold stadium.

My thoughts are;

We had a good start. In the first 20 mins we looked like running out comfortable winners. However, the cracks appeared in the second 20 mins of the first half. A try just before half time would have put an ounce of doubt in the KR mindset.

Dobson kicked us to death. Every time they got within our 20m zone they looked like scoring. As a result, field possession was vital, and penalty after penalty got them in our half immediately. We had more than enough chances to take the game ourselves, but almost everything we did was either stopped by the KR defence or we threw the chance away.

However, to play like we did and still keep it close until the final play of the game proves either one of two things. Either KR had an off day, or we played very well considering we were missing three key players. Two of which are on very good form of late.

Looking ahead, Featherstone shouldn't be a problem. But then the next two games could make or break our league season. 2/2 wins against Hull FC and Wigan before the CCQF will not only be difficult, but both games are winable on our present form.

vinnie had a great game along with monas and young cooper from the bench i thiught higham lacked a bit today

higtham lacked because smith played him all wrong this week .he brings him on 30 mins with the 2 light weights cooper and blythe the object of havein mick on the bench is to get good play balls off big men so he can run and with 15 mins to go hkr were gone down the middle but clarke stoped at 9 with raj and carvell makin dints in them but higham never came back on ,dont like to say this mr smith your 1st bad coaching mistake in my opinion

[quote="Big Spender"]As a Rovers fan i can say it was not our best performance of the season and in the first half we were poor. Can't comment on Wire but you have obviously improved tenfold since early season.
Both sides had players unavailable but in Fozzard, Gene, Walker, Lovegrove and Cockayne ......all these would have have made the starting seventeen IMO so our list probably covers yours in this respect.

Had some good banter with a few Wire fans after the match and actually met the w@nkaer with the drum

[b]Your support was first class and probably equal in numbers to ourselves as the most support in Edinburgh.....on sunday, anyway.[/b][/quote]

Don't flatter yourselves, I was in the north end when you were playing, and you barely filled 2 sections of the stand. It was good support don't get me wrong, but without sounding bias, we (FC) took a lot more. Make of that what you like, but it true. P.S - Thought Wire's support was very good yesterday (and rovers). In terms of the game, thought first half Wire looked in complete control and were tearing Rovers apart down the left hand side. Second half, Rovers came to life and looked like scoring everytime they were near Wire's line. Saying that, Wire had their fair share of try scoring opportunites and were more than capable of winning.

He spends more time on our forum than he does his own - never known you compliment us before ao why start now? You cant jump ship just because your team is losing

Thought we looked pretty poor in 1st half and should have been dead and buried at half time. When we were still in it at the break I thought we'd nick it. Fair play to wire thought you played pretty well and look a much improved outfit. Think you'll get better too and are nailled on for play offs and then it's anyones.
great support from your lot too good bunch of lads I talked to before and after credit to the club.
