No disrespect Christopher, but you would be happy at a funeral, and feel entertained.

And you’d Find something to moan about if you won the lottery

I would if it wasn’t enough. I set the level high

Even if it was the right amount the numbers would have been the wrong numbers, or the person doing the draw not good enough, or somethingicon_smile.gif

On the game, il be very happy if we keep it to within 18-20 points...Really looking forward to Broadbent and Tindall getting a game and Levi Edwards is something special in his age group, very very young but would love to see him get a few minutes.

Im also looking forward to Harrison getting a go, good player with plenty of room to grow

Who cares if Gotcha comments on negatives. He speaks more sense on here than anyone.

Also, I think we're making a mistake prioritising the cup. It would be worthwhile if we'd drawn Salford, but we're giving away 2pts to our biggest rivals in attempting to get to a Grand Final eliminator.

I can't believe Maloney didn't cop a ban.

Aye up Gotcha is back. Nice holiday fella???? Let me guess it was too hot, the food was foreign, couldnt get an English newspaper, the beach was too far away, hotel manager needed sacking.

Couple of convincing wins while you have been away lad.

Oh come on don’t be like that, he did post, to have a go at the ref

Well to be fair the ref had a major infuence in the close and tight 41-16 victory. Lol. Such a shame results count for nothing when we win.

Results count for nothing win or lose. I suggest you actually look back at my posts, as you are failing to be funny here Marty. I only ever comment on performance.

I find it hard to comment since lockdown, as the game is a shambles currently. That is the game as a whole, not restricted to one club. The new rules, the guessing if a game is going ahead, the inconsistent fairness of game planning, or ability to select players. Like I said, anyone winning anything would have no more credit than a kids egg and spoon race.

You and your buddy can bull it up all you like, but it’s a poor imitation, and a slight on you that you try to make out delight in such a kick in the teeth for the game.

I will comment when and when I please though, not for the benefit of others. I am sorry my comments mean so much to you, and you miss them so much, buts that the way it is this season. It’s just a pointless year, just like your post above.

Moan moan moan moan moan.

Stop watching the sport. Simples. Why the hell would anyone watch something they clearly dont enjoy?

You can fluff around good convincing wins by saying results dont matter because it doesnt meet your agenda of criticising the club. Not once have you praised, for example, Mikolaj or Myler who are playimg well currently no matter what you say.

Soon as we lose a game you will be back complaining.

Results matter its a results business. Silly talk to say otherwise particularly when you post after every defeat but never post after wins. You say you only comment on performance and thats true, providing the performance is poor.

When did you last post anything positive about the club?

You know the sport very well Gotcha you clearly understand it better than most in fairness but to vanish after two 40 point wins speaks volumes and actually makes me think you thought the team played some nice stuff.

You looking forward to the semi? Would love to hear your thoughts on the big game. Surely players like Bevan French and Hastings get you excited?

Mate I agree that this season is a farce.

However the real point is, what else would you have done? Cancel the whole season - well that would be breaking contractual commitments to the broadcaster, who is THE main source of funding especially now the crowds are gone. How would you pay the players? This parlous financial position is not the fault of the game, it's a global pandemic which has given a kicking to many sports/entertainment businesses, retail etc. Nobody could have foreseen it, and all that can be done is the best in the circumstances.

RL had/has no choice but to continue, limping along as best it can. We can't distribute fixtures well and fairly for external reasons: so it's the best we can do. Complaining about it is pointless.

We may still lose a couple of SL clubs before this is over, despite the attempt to carry the season forward. Even much-maligned Toronto - they would still be a club fulfilling fixtures etc. if it weren't for the outbreak.

I just cannot see the point in grinding an axe in the current situation. Yes, the game was vulnerable to this to begin with, but we are by no means the only sport suffering right now. Unless you have suggestions to change to culture of the whole country so a) we're not so obsessed with soccer and b) we don't have as much middle class nepotism supporting RU in particular, then it will remain a battle for the next however many years, at is has been for as long as I can remember,

Really all that's left is to roll up sleeves and show some grit during a tough time, as a community who values RL and what it stands for. The game will always survive as long as it has a strong and loyal support base.

Personally I think calling the game a farce over Covid and how it is trying to carry on really harsh especially on the players who are doing their best in difficult circumstances, look at our opponents tomorrow they have gone above and beyond to keep going.

Just enjoy it for what it is, something to take the mind of the that’s going on around us. And we are actually going ok as a team which lets face it not many predicted after the rubbish served up on the opening game against Hull (quite a few predicting a bittom end of the league finish for us!)

Detailed and valid points, but from a devils advocate point of view, winning a Superleague title after a 15 game regular season, when teams may not have even played each other once is hollow and devalues those that have won it before.

Toronto's results shouldn't even have been expunged. They happened.

Trying to carry on isn't helping to quell Covid. People need to stop being selfish and follow the rules ASAP. Then we can have a fair and complete 2021 season.

How are the teams not following the rules, they are subject to more protocols than most people who are working, are you saying people shouldn't be working?

If they didn't complete this season you might not have a 2021 season to complete either.

At what point do we accept that this virus is going to kill people, just like flu does, and get on with life?

The damage being done by stopping everything is going to take longer to recover from than the virus itself.

I think you are getting yourself mixed up here mate. I didn't dissapear, and I did comment, I just don't take anything serious in it though, as the game is a farce currently. Playing Hull KR to be fair is like playing a league one side currently. Look at my comments after beating Salford, look at my comments after beating Huddersfield, they do not stack up to the picture you are trying to paint right now.

As for Oledski, come on mate, you know very well I have singled him out in three matches of late as our number one player, as you have commented in response to me.

As for Myler, you want my comments, here they are. I think he looks great linking into the line, and attacking in the oppossition 20, I would even say as an edge over Walker. I even think he might be slightly faster than Walker. But I don't think for one minute he should have the shirt over Walker, as I think your fullback needs to be more safe at the back also, and he is awful with the kicks, and out of position for defence, where I think Walker is far better. So yes, against a team like Hull KR Myler would be a great pick, but for a semi when the game done properly, no way should he be there.

I'm saying Joe Bloggs people, and they shouldn't be working. We need a total lockdown for a month. Critically vulnerable teachers shouldn't be working with kids whose parents are still taking them around to their friends and cousins houses.

It is killing people, and we need to stop it not ignore it.

Are you going to pay my businesses bills and staffs wages?

You realise this thing isn't going away any time soon, we can't hide behind the sofa forever.

Hull KR a league one side? doesn't say much for Wigan and Saints then does it



Or are they only a league one side when we beat them, convincingly, 3 times in a row?

I was asked for my comments, I gave them, and I went to the point of saying why. I don't find it surprising that this is all you picked out of it, and was only looking for something to agree with you on. I don't mate, hence why I made the comments, which I stick by, Hull KR are not the yardstick to measure performance, however as I said, that is different with Salford and Huddersfield.

To add to my earlier post also, far from worried about this weeks game, I am more excited about it, regardless of result, as at least we see something interesting.

Actually what Toosmooth has said in that Toronto's results shouldn't even have been expunged. They happened.
Is true now that we are basing league positions on percentages as opposed to points.

Who from tomorrow do you think will back up on Saturday? Hurrell and Dwyer and then possibly Smith and Cuthbertson.

Out of those I can see Dwyer, Hurrell and Smith backing up but that depends on how Dwyer goes after his Covid recovery.
