What an advert for our game,superb performance by the rovers and all the neutrals must have loved it,loads of exciting rugby.Mind you thursdays match warrington v hull was also a pointsfest.Sadly for our neighbours it was men versus boys,well done rovers,hulls number one team.

If we could play structured rugby we would have won by plenty.Very happy with result but we nearly threw it away again. Toronto v Leeds looks suddenly tasty. We have the base for a very good team.Good times ahead

An exciting game but not one for the purists.
I'm going to be really critical here but watching from behind the sticks was awful at times. We've somehow managed to shore up our goal line defence but now we lose the collision and wrestle most of the time allowing the opposition quick ball. Our marker defence is therefore compromised meaning that they killed us out of dummy half all afternoon.
On the plus side, Quinlan, McGuire and Atkin ripped them apart and looked constanly threatening with ball in hand. Hall once again made menlook a pillock!
The game featured one of the funniest moments i've ever witnessed on the terraces. As Vai Vai threw the world's worst dummy I shouted out that was what it was, I looked away and when he scored the older chap in front of me got so excited he spat his false teeth half way down the terrace and then spent the rest of the game complaining that he had grit in his mouth.
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.

We play attractive exciting rugby as Phil Clarke has said all year but need to get that ruthless edge.Should have won by much more and Leeds are in bother now. Wouldn't take much to turn us into a real team

Let me just say that, even as an FC fan, I really enjoyed that. Some great play from your lads and I think we'll be seeing you back at the KCom next year.

5 teams on 4 points.We sit 5th but have Salford Leeds Toronto lover pack out of the way.Toulose away will be no picnic but it's in our own hands now. Can't decide what I think MPG will be but as long as we ain't in it then who cares? Leeds v Toronto would give RFL a quandary

We’ve beaten Leeds and dropped a place but the three hardest games out of the way the next couple of games the table should start to take shape were in a strong position now

That was... i’m lost for words, all this time later. Best and worst of us in 80 minutes, but we won, and that is potentially HUGE.
Quinlan - what a game from the lad.
Three of the last 4 at home, and those 4 are the three slightly less daunting Championship teams, and a Widnes team currently in freefall. Please, please, please let us be super ruthless. Jewitt, Tompkins and Todd Carney hopefully available for the next game, so hopefully we’re in a good place for numbers for a final push.
