Write us off at your peril, your talking as if 2006 to 2009 never happened!.

we know too well it happened and fair play to you

but theres only so much progress you can make before you start going backwarsd and thats whats happening now

i,m not saying your written off but i think last season was as good a season you will have in a long time to come

You know exactly what you meant back then, Robert. You were expecting to be challenging Wigan and Warrington.

Still early days but your optimism may have taken a hit.

It is all very strange the reaction to this game from both sides of the city, Rovers fans runing down our team, maybe it was that FC played well? FC fans not happy with there performance despite winning the derby,maybe it was the robins getting in thier faces? in all probabliity it was a combination of both. Just look at who both sides have beaten this year already Leeds, Saints,Giants! (yes we have both lost to so called lower sides as well) I was aprehensive about todays game & thought we might get a pasting from FC but our pack played well OK our attack was a bit off but FC were good in defence. I dont think either side need worry there is plenty of improving in both teams yet. I just think in our expectations we tend to underestimate the stengths & overplay the weakneses of our opponants at times. I enjoyed todays game for what it was a hard fought match & tension to the end(Iwould have prefered a reversal of the scoreline)

Poor game in all honestly.

Cummings seriously needs to look at the ruck and the play the ball because there now a lottery.

A big plus for me was for the first time in ages agar got his subs right, he played them to what was happening in the game.

thought wheeldon looked good but didnt get alot of time, why?

awww my heart bleeds, revenge is so sweet

To those dullers suggesting it is only two points....the players and fans ( who actually came) suggested it was their cup final judging by the celebrations at the final hooter.

People happy at their team winning, who'da thunked it, eh?

Your cup final on Monday.

Suely you defeat at the hands of Warrington will by our cup final
That's the only thing that concerns us Rovers fans - your demise

That's the scary thing for you guys though, we were not completely at the races either and made far too many mistakes. On paper we have a talented pack, debatablely the best in the league, definitely one of the best, yet at times like at Rovers we just make amateurish panic driven mistakes and our support play can be clueless, and all of that was on show at the derby and we still won, even nilling Rovers for a good portion of the game.

Cooke would have made no difference, as your attack, at least yesterday looked completely clueless and one man in no way makes a team, in fact they were nearly as bad as ours against Salford. I lost count of the amount of penalities you had on our line, and against the likes of Leeds, Warrington, Wigan, Saints etc, you would have bet your last quid on been scored against, but our defence was swallowing up your offence with ease. Morgan has a lot of work to do, Agar has to improve our consistency.
