What a weekend : Sun Aug 30, 2015 8:50 pm  

Yeah the result wasn't great but I'm a rugby league fan and these things happen. This weekend I have taken two football friends on an experience they will never forget. They both couldn't believe so many fans from different clubs can drink be merry and have banter without any trouble. They never believed that people could feel so emotional about an individual and their family when they never met them (Lizzie and the bains). They said the respect fans had for each other was great to see. They couldn't believe that someone would fly half way across the world to watch a rugby match (was nice meeting you bob bob bobbing along in the green man). Yeah the result hurts but due to this weekend these two friends have said they want to come to more rovers matches and have said they are going back to wembley. So as soon as we can we will be booking for next year. I'm a HKR fan for life but most of all I'm a rugby league fan. I'm already looking forward to the rest of the qualifiers and the grand final. Rugby league the greatest game in the world.

Great weekend in London and at Wembley despite the result No need to pass comment on the game the scoreboard never lies I'm afraid.

Great post. You summed it up perfectly.
I with 5 family members flew from down under to watch the game, still getting over the jet lag, but it was worth it.
If that was over here, with the amount of alcohol consumed, there would be fights and all sorts!
Great display of friendly comrade Rhinos and Rovers.
And Hull KR folk - you are awesome! Next time we will be staying for longer!
