Mmm maybe fella, we've had this conversation before, I think the second half will be our undoing again, I predict the Shed will be like a ghost town with 15 minutes to go. However [iif[/i we do manage to pull off a shock don't turn around and say you Weren't warned!

Scoreline SCR 19 – HKR 32

I should have known better than to get drawn into this but hey-ho

Whilst this may all be about Mason they are missing a few players too and if we limit the mistakes and missed tackles we could sneak a win and move closer to the 'promised' 8th spot.
We shouldn't go into a home game thinking we'll just give it up
Think positive. Get a win tonight and the season will be just like starting over again and we can forget about the previous heavy losses.

Looking forward to tonight's game, we all (team + supporters) need a Positive mental attitude, let's get behind the team and have a good crack. The result doesn't matter to me it's the work rate and effort put in for 80 mins.

Come on the REDS

You are Mystic Geno and I claim my five pounds.

Maybe its the sunshine outside but i'm feeling a little bit more confident now. If Holdsworth/Ratchford/Patten all combine as we know they can and looking at how they can ship points and we can get on a roll then nothings going to stop us. Now, if its the other way round and they start well it could very easily happen to us!
I wouldnt bet any money on us winning though as I've put almost everything I own on Pandorama to win the Gold Cup this arvo!!

Motivation has obviously been a problem so far this year, both for players and fans. As far at the players are concerned Simmsy need to be telling them to have a good look at themselves and ask themseleves, hand on your heart, have you given it your all?

The problems with the fans seem to largely stem from the weight of expectation and all the pre-season happy talk. At the Leeds game, in the stand by me there was someone having a right go at all the players while they were warming up becasue of the defeat to Wigan, even though it wasn't that bad. As KOTS said, the Shed could end up very quiet and sp by late on tonight if we don't perform - it's gonna take a real upturn of the form book to swing the mood, especially with all our injuries. At the start of the season we might have identified this game as the type of home game you want to win well, especially without the player that really makes Rovers tick, like at Wakey where you could relax towards the end - but now it look like we'll be pulling out all the stops just to keep up with the coupon.

It's a Super League rule that the away club keeps 10% when selling tickets - it's actually Salford who have 'upped' the price as they send £20 tickets to the away club rather than the pre-purchase price.

If that's the case I can't say I approve with the ethics of it, but I supose at the end of the day it's more brass in pocket for Salford.

well done sherlock, my tickets for Wakefield had printed on them 20 quid, but we paid 10 quid because we pre-purchased them, a club doesn't print a lot of different priced tickets, they have the 20 quid price on, it is just that if bought early you save 10% or should i say 2 quid for those who have problems working it out. Therefore HKR had to decide do they want to keep 1.80 or 2.00 from each ticket sale this looks like they chose the bigger slice, it is not rocket science.

T1ts!!
I am almost, quite literally, crying right now.



As for the game, we need to stand and deliver for once and get our season back to life before its all over. Having said that from where we are the only way is up isnt it?

Now now OQR - remember every loser wins.

My old nana used to say "never waste your money on girls or gee-gees"...looks like she was right on at least one of those. There's no-one quite like grandma is there for great/useless advice?!

Trust me (and I know there are other people on here who can back up that I'm a pretty reliable source on this kind of thing), Salford dictate the prices on it (technically it was £20 for Wakefield as the difference was being footed by their woner).

Should've gone to Specsavers

the 2 quid is not footed by anyone it is a pre-purchase discount which is there al season, therefore Salford dictate the pre-purchase price, I don't know how thick you are, it is not a one off but a season long thing, wigan and Saints fans managed to get it. It must be really hard when you get 100,000 every match and nobody thought of buying early to save money, now disappear back to the lower divisions, because frankly a super league comversation has p155 all to do with you.

the press will be saying Willie who? but i did notice that he wore David Beckhams Real Madrid number of 23 strange thing is he played like him.

Dount there will be many players who haven't had more than a couple of games for 6 months would come and do an 80 minute stint. Ok he didn't set the world alight but he was good enough and showed the good character to applaud the banter when he was leaving the pitch.

I really REALLY hate to gloat (no really) but if anyone cares enough to search for the Willie Mason thread of 2010, they'll see my thoughts on that useless lummox. He played in the wooden spoon club of 2009 and 2010 in the NRL and was poor in both teams.
So, so glad we didn't sign him.

most people would have been tired flying between Tonga, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Fiji, and just about half the world sorting out a dodgy passport, saw Dobson at the game, does that mean they were over quota with too many Aussies in the ground at the same time.

He works in a Super L clubs ticket office i do believe.

Jesus! You need to take more water with it mate.
The lad is a Leigh fan who watches us when he has chance and is always reasonable and complimentary about us.
That reply was totally uncalled for and you should apologise asap.
Glad you don't teach my kids.....

Ok know the contract will be different but I'd rather have signed him that Bailey. Think Mason will more than pay for himself in the publicity alone, for me the mind boggles at a Mason, Wagga, Cashmere front row.

You are spot on mate, Matt just loves his rugby and isn't biased in any way against any team, and he does know what he is on about as far as tickets are concerned.

I work in a college teaching maths and guess what I know what I am doing, he appears to not have a clue, I know people who work in Tescos but when I ask them about the staff pension scheme they don't know how it works or how to make a forecast on their benefits at retirement.
I know a bus driver but he couldn't tell me how the Diesel engine works in his bus
see what i am getting at he may work in a SL shop but he/she might be the cleaner, who overheard someones auntie on the phone to the cousin of someone who knows the sister of a cousin who works as a steward at another sports arena.

You are wrong mate he does work at a top SL ticket office.
