Big congratulations. Looking forward to seeing you down at Belle Vue and a trip to Craven Park already

We will see if the rumours of an Aussie half and Forward are true? Had it in good authority mid season they were coming as long as SL .Proper stars not kids like Pants Down Pearson signs on the cheap

Well done. It would have been very unfair that having finished 10th in the regular rounds you ended up in he MPG again. Glad you stayed up!

Heard the same mate. We need more than this though. We lose Quinlan, Minns, Heffernan and J Carney. For me Hauraki at 34, Keinhorst, Hall, Crooks all from qualifiers clubs. Need some X factor in the backs division.

Thank baby Jesus and The Orphans for that.

Didn't enjoy the game or the day at all but thank heavens for no MPG.

It felt a bit anti climatic in the end.

I thought it was a professional performance, not a great one, we did what we needed to do. The difference this week was that the senior players in McGuire, Scruton and Blair really stood up. I really like Atkin, I think he's improving all the time, he's not afraid to get involved and he continues to become more consistent. Lee had a really good game, defended superbly at times and Mulhern continues to be a machine.

Further recruitment in either a full back or a half back, a centre and we still need that big nasty prop is required. I wonder if the signings of Lannon and Hauraki signal Bobby Blair's retirement? I hope not.

The best thing that happened today was carney going off and Blair coming on shows how much we’ve missed him the last couple of weeks he has to get another contract

Re: Widnes game.Safety/MPG/Relegation? : Sun Sep 30, 2018 6:59 pm  

Lannon is a good signing imo.Very similar to Clark but we never gave him a real chance. The job is done despite Minns drug ban, Heffs retirement Shaw lawler Quinlan and Carney season enders.Lunts gash! Lunts meningitis,Mcguires clot,wierd suspensions,refs costing us 6 points,general injury madness.Sheens has done well for all the setbacks and starting behind the other 11 teams in regard of the new season.Well done Hudge and Rob.. I effing love The Rovers and very happy tonight

I don't usually bite but I feel I need to comment on that. Our recent signings arent meant to be stars, they are clearly to pad out the squad with the reserves starting again next year and a number of our youngsters being deemed surplus to requirements. N'Zoungou could have a decent future, but I don't expect the other 3 to ever play a SL game unless we have another mad injury crisis.

Anyway. Congrats on today. Yes I was rooting for Widnes, but as I said earlier in the thread it would have been an injustice for you to go down after what has been really not a bad season. See you all next year.

Well he's no Danny Houghton but I wouldnt go that far.

Incidentally it sounds like he is doing well. Hope to see him back on the field asap.
