Yes well done you scraped two wins, one when you played a side which was still figuring out its combinations at half back after all the mucking about that had happened and the second when foxy made a mistake where he would have scored 99/100.
When it really matter the superior side came out on top and by quite some margin even claiming the assist for the 4 points you managed.
We put you to the sword because our squad, our team, has more passion, pride and commitment in the jersey and it showed

You may want to go and speak the the RFL if you are so annoyed.

You do all realise that whatever you say, she'll argue the opposite.
Fall out with herself at the bottom of a Chilean coal mine that one.
I agree I let myself down in a moment of madness and uncharacteristically blew of some steam at the coffee woman. You could say I did a Radford..
Had my fill of humbugs yesterday never seen so much straw clutching since I attended the 1983 Kerplunk world championships. I had everything from overseas quota to ground improvements via an account ledger or two (not forgetting the ambulance chaser having that fat B***strd ex MP helping out, how corrupt that is).
Still I smiled through it and asked if they had anything on over the weekend...
Anyway Wheeldon, great to keep him on board, has changed my opinion over the last month or two, will go well in an improved pack.
Mrs Barista wrote:So, in summary: Rovers are bringing in more overseas players and everyone shipped out is either fed-trained or homegrown, ratcheting up your % of overseas first team to 59%. Rovers U20s finished 9th out of 12 teams, with just 5 wins from 20 games Going into your 5th season you have Kris Welham as your own academy product. Maybe you could count Watts even though he's from Batley's academy IIRC.
As said, until your actual number of first team performances from your academy is more than purely tokenist, it's all just fancy talk and promises of "jam tomorrow".
Once again Mrs B you seem to have "accidentally" missed out the FACTS that don't suit your rather slanted argument.
You "forgot" to mention the Under 18's Academy, a fair indicator of the class of young prospect being signed...i'm sure you'll agree. For the record the league table showed Rovers academy as being in the top five in the country thus meaning end of the season group play off's against Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Widnes. In the BOTTOM group play off's you'll find your own lads group. A fair indicator i assume of the calibre of future prospects we are now recruiting to our respective clubs now we have an equal playing field.

Congratulations on your two Grand Final victories over your rivals, at least it satisfied your board to give Agar another contract.

Excellent news. I'm really pleased with this. Scott has worked hard and obviously improved with a better coaching team to develop his game. I'm pleased he's been offered the chance to stay. He's earned it.

Was hoping he would stay, he might be down the pecking order next season, but at his age he has plenty of time to get up to first choice.

glad he is staying, best years ahead of him and will be a top player. Unfortunately another topic that became the MB show, why do we put up with her drivel?
