Good performance, played some really good rugby, in fact over played at times.

Too many good performances to mention, but I thought Houghton and Carlos were outstanding.

Food for thought on Jack Logan after the last few games.

Is that a record derby win?

Looking forward to the Rovers fans who come on here after we get beat opinion on the game.

no complaints from me pal a good contest up to halftime then our 6 or 7 championship quality players came out to play garbutt, hall, linnet the only ones that can hold their heads up ,second half was men against boys stuff a few crap calls never had much imput on the final score i thought the leigh game was a good gauge to were we are , fc played well 2nd period ,you smelt the coffee and delivered well done

Linnet is a quality player , thought it when you signed him. Think griffin would of had a hat trick against most centres in sl today

Very pleasing win. Who cares that Rovers were awful? You can only play what's in front of you and we punished them.

Excellent all round. Mini's best performance for a while, a great confidence booster for Logan and Carlos was outstanding again. I'd venture to suggest he's one of the club's finest ever overseas signings.

Re: The Easter Derby : Fri Apr 19, 2019 2:38 pm  

Great win but I was getting nervous near the end. I thought I'd forgotten to record it.

Phew fortunately I had.

That's not going to get deleted in a hurry.

Underrated is Carlos (even though is still highly regarded). Doesnt always do the flashy things but like today he just carted the ball up time after time after time and always makes solid metres with each carry. Also got a good offload to his game. One of my favourite players since hes been over here.
Also just something about the guy in general that just seems really likeable, and I'm saying that without ever even speaking him! Just comes across as a really quiet humble person who gets on with his job and doesnt get into any bother off the field.

hes a match for any centre and probably the only thing sheens got right today , he did sign him as a second row forward ,to many duck eggs in our team , you got the roll on second half and exposed some players for what they are warrington beware
