Was really something special obviously. It has got rovers into their super league stride as stated by james wailes in the HDM tonight. Oh no sorry...it was rovers third game and that was the difference between the two sides, and it was dobbo and welhams first game. Or was it because of the number of new faces in the dullers team against our established side...dont forget they are work in progress. Or is it because we really are a better team with a better coach...time will tell.

He quoted Heremia in fairness to James Smailles

Actually having read the middle pages he does rather bang on about it.

that's good in my book, let them clutch at straws for a terrible showing, they are only fooling themselves and while they do that they are not addressing the problems of their team

What problems are these then? Should we write the season off now because we lost a trial game?

The turnstile defence is a start.

Gentle out, I'd say.

Your defence wasn't any better, our main 2 problems were giving away too many penalties and ball retention which is to be expected. Any team will concede putting themselves under the constant pressure we did.

Why ask if you already had, in your opinion, the right answer?
