Re: Wembley bound : Mon Aug 14, 2023 12:21 pm  
Gutted the day didn't have a positive result for everyone concerned with Rovers, all the faces said it all after the game. Just pure raw disappointment.

Again, the team's effort is and was second to none, I love the way they work their socks off every week. Sadly I just don't think we played that well with ball in hand (or not). Too many times we handed the initiative back to Leigh right when I thought we was getting some dominance. Other than that our backs made some great carries and we made some great yardage downfield. I then thought we looked lost the closer we got to the line.

Golden points are the best and worst way to win/lose no doubt. We've experienced both twice now already this season. It didn't feel heart breaking as we couldn't have played that period any worse really. It had a slow inevitability about it all. Not finding touch from a penalty is right up there with all RL sins, and in GP it couldn't have been anymore important. Obviously we somehow survived to go again after Gareth O'Brien of all people missed. The resulting 7 tackle set started off really well, but again we lost all direction/momentum after crossing half way. OK Brad would've been an absolute hero had he managed to kick it from what 45 or so out, but given the previous plays, we had no momentum to set it up. That's when a older/experienced head should've/could've gone for one of our controlled corner kicks. Ifs buts and maybes

The disbelief and shame of 2015 may have been healed a little, but I'll remember this one as the one that could'a been. The game was there to win, but we just never grasped it. Congrats to Leigh, their fans/club. During my time with Rovers, they've been a constant thorn in my side. We must have played them more than any other team. Same divisions/cup draws/finals/play offs. Enjoy it, as that's what it's all about.
