To paraphrase Matthew 6:26 (after watching KR today, I can only be thankful that God is a Leyther), my "aye" is with the (Lowton) Sparrow. Yup, when the gap got to two points, I thought "Go on Wolves, utterly deflate them now". Wasn't to be, and the tykes deservedly won. Someone has commented that KR blow hot and cold. Well The Wire have been the same all season. We got their hot version, KR got their cold. Let's hope for a chilly to frozzzzen turn up from the Humbersiders next week. Can't see an emoticon for fingers crossed ( hope not deceit).

You got the hot version! you're having a laugh mate, you played them when they were in the middle of a slump, most people on RLfans will tell you it's the worst wire have played this year against you and still won, Salford were decimated with injuries and suspensions and Wakey should have and will spank you now they have sorted their coach out, the truth is you're a championship side now and will still be at the end of the season.

And I hope you finish up with egg on your face.

I think we will win but your better than a championship side to beat one SL side is a good feat and sometimes happens (we did it) to beat 2 and run another very close is no fluke can't wait for next week

We might be a championship side next season but i know who i would rather watch. We also have not acted against the spirit of the game in signing 9 players just for the qualifiers. Yes i know no 'rules' have been broken. Enjoy your time sharing at the SL quality stadium that is Dewsbury. If you can't respect others for their achievements then you get no respect from me.

Don't agree with you, Phil Webbo. Warrington in a slump when they beat Leythe? You don't think that they blew hot and cold this season? Firstly let's look at their SL results in order:

WWLWWLLLLWLWWLWLWLLWWLW

When was the slump? Four SL losses on the bounce from March 19 to April 6 (32-24, 29-10, 30-10, 22-14). Next 80 without reply against the Wildcats. Lost the next one.

Warrington v Leigh was right at the end of June!

Do TRY to think, Baldrick. Thinking is so important. Concentrate on quality rather than quantity, Bronze Member.

Thanks for your comments regarding our win today. Rovers will travel in numbers next week looking forward to the game. We beat Wigan at your place and your form is good at home to me it could go either way.

The best thing is "most people on RLfans" know a good side when they see one, but some just can't accept the fact.

Warrington back too normal ways as been all season. HR will have too be better than that to beat us.

Next week's game promises to be a cracker, don't anyone doubt that the visitors won't be up for it, they will want all the points on offer before their Wembley trip. How we performed against Wire and vice versa is irrelevant.

Well I thought Wire were poor today but credit to HKR.

Do I think they'll beat us next Saturday ? Well no.

It has been a while but right there is the Hull KR fans we know and love



Thank God they aren't all like you.

Hull KR are a strong side as my team found out earlier in the CC. We matched them for a long period though and the score line wasn't really a reflection on how close we got to beating them. I think Leigh will go very close and might just pip them if Hull KR come into the game a little flat after investing so much for the semi final. Sometimes that 'flat' performance comes a game or two after but either way I expect it will be a cracker at LSV.

I think the start will be important for all clubs in these 8's, any club losing a few matches early on will really feel the pressure, particularly if they're a SL club.

Hull kr looked very good yesterday and I think they will have no problems staying in super league. Think we will give them a game but will come up a bit short but the rest of the games are very much winnable if we get anything from the hull game it will be a bonus.

I too thought Warrington was poor. Kr defended well. Gamelan simple for Leigh, Run at Kelly and attack their left edge. That looked vulnerable. Kay and Armstrong might have a good day!

HKR are a very good team with some very good players ,why folk think they won't be up for the 8's or will be a flat is beyond me, the 8's qualifiers are more important than Wembley to Rovers , it's their bread and butter,I think Leigh will give them a good game on Saturday ,will Leigh win?My heart says yes, but my head says no,as for getting to SL I take nowt for granted and getting there will be a very big achievement for Leigh,again I'm not confident about this , maybe I'm just a pessimist.

In the cup game our forwards were comfortably a match for theirs. The real damage was done by Campese and Kelly. Stop Kelly kicking at all costs. Mantellato got 4 tries.......mainly from accurate kicking and his height is a problem. Strangely, next time we play them its possible that only Gaskell will feature from the backs that played that day.
I'm sure Leigh will know how to stop Kelly playing.

People said we were a one man team when campese was playing then when he got injured we won 4 on the trot now they say we're a one man team because of Kelly the fact is were inconsistent but we have beaten Wigan twice wire twice St. Helens Catalans twice so we're not to bad just hope the rovers who did that turn up

Funny how no one on RL fans actually said that at the time or since. Salford were so decimated with injuries and suspensions they were in 4th place in Super League and the on form team at the time. And Wakey only managed to spank us when we handed them the ball at half way on the 3rd tackle every set, once we stopped doing that we got on top easy and no amount journey men just looking for something to do to pass the time till the end of the season will change that for them.

Truth is Leigh are a Super League team in all but name, if you actually watched some rugby you'd be able to see that clearly.

I think most rovers fans know what to expect next week and it won't be a stroll in the park

For me HKR were very good yesterday but Wire had only one player in the pack, Hilly. I thought Anthony England and Ashton Simms were not at the races.

If your happy to watch your side in the championship next year then fill yer boots squire.
Fwiw we have only signed one player the rest are replacements for those that have left, not sure if it's in the spirit of the game though turning out with seventeen players.


We won't be playing in superleague at Dewsbury but thanks for your best wishes anyway.
Not sure what your comment is about respecting other peoples achievements as there has not been a comment made on this thread by a Wakefield fan, btw just remind me what achievements you are referring to.

Funny how they all wanted to leave at the same time. Incidentally when have they all signed till....the end of 2017...2016....Or the end of the this season. My other advice is read the thread.
