That's what I said the first 20 mins we hardly had the ball and when we did we spilt it, slippery ball wasn't in it

What a load of tripe. Rovers were cack from start to finish and the final scoreline flattered them. IMO the conditions stopped Leeds scoring 60+. If you think that kind of performance is acceptable then you are easily satisfied. I'm not sure what you class as effort but for me rovers played with no enthusiasm, no aggression and no idea.
Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.
i am getting really sick and tired of hearing about effort.
Is that really all we aspire to? As long as we have a team of blokes that try hard we will be satisfied?
Well i for one expect a whole lot more than blind effort. And for an investment £1.6m each year on players wages alone I'm sure our board of directors do as well.
Effort is the bare minimum that should be expected form professional sportsmen along with skill, aptitude and composure, things that have been in short supply in recent weeks from Rovers.
Any decent coach will tell you that defence is about attitude. Look at Rovers line speed and defence and then tell me that you are really happy with their effort.

For once, this is me bringing something back on topic.
Pretty sure that at least a couple of these "fans" got arrested, Fred Flintstone looked as if he was about to get chucked in a police van.
If this is the case then do the laws around football violence extend to rugby league and therefore are the police duty bound to inform the club so these sub humans can be banned?
I'm going to email the club to say that these sub humans are besmirching the clun and I'm sick of having to put up with them. I suggest anyone who cares does similar.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Sadly most teams have an element of pond life attached to them, it is sad really as it is a family game, banter is one thing but some just go way too far with it, and I agree surely we should have the same rules as what is adopted in football.

I wrote this on the relevant thread on the Leeds board:
cod'ead wrote:About eight years ago I had the misfortune to attend a Pies v Hull FC game at the JJB. A group of Hull FC "supporters" had decided that this game would be an ideal prelude to a stag weekend in Blackpool, many of thos attending were also in fancy dress. They were tanked up and at one point managed to get onto the pitch and verbally abuse Hull & Wigan players.
A few of us managed to photograph these idiots and the pics were forwarded to the Hull club. The Humberside Sports Policing unit also got involved and the result was a number of "supporters" were banned from the KC. One even had his season pass taken from him while drinking in a KC bar.
Banning the culprits was one thing, enforcing it was an entirely different other. It also never prevented these idiots from travelling to away games and continuing their "fun". It is the home club's duty to police their ground and ensure the safety and comfort of all spectators and unless and until a system of sharing details of such idiot "fans" is introduced, there's little to prevent recurrances. Eight years ago we didn't have ASBOs, possibly these incidents could now be covered, preventing the subjects of an ASBO from attending RL games in the future?
It is an unfortunate fact of life that there have always been and probably always will be a small minority of idiots who struggle to behave themselves. Apart from the individuals involved, the only body that could have prevented any incidents is Leeds Rhinos RLFC. They and they alone are responsible for ensuring the safety of specxtators and players in the ground. If they allow drunks into the ground or continue to serve someone, who is already drunk, alcohol then they are at fault. Not the HKR club nor the majority of the supporters, who know how to behave themselves. I think that the few loiners who are employing a holier than thou attitude would be better served by enquiring why their own club has failed to steward the game adequately.
