Don't be so hard on yourself, mate.

Anyway, we'll stick to the Lane Train rather than the slow train, thanks.

Awful week all round for them after last week's puffery.
John "best Rovers signing of my lifetime" Bastian scurries to the exit
Banning for flare-throwing
Beer/bourbon throwing at FC players from the North stand, sounds like it will be under investigation
Beaten again by a team they've scorned as one dimensional thought the guile of Connor, footwork of Tuimavave and string-pulling of Sneyd - what's that, 2 years since they beat us?

Crikey

Good to be back☺

What a pity Satae wasn't playing. He'd have made Sims hobble from the pitch a lot earlier than he did. After giving it the big talk he went out there and made a whopping 9 tackles. Quite comfortably the worst signing of the season.

What a game - and the ref did all he could to keep Rovers in the game. There were so many bad calls from him.
We had so many players coming back and to hold on was a beautiful thing. As I predicted at the start of the thread- Rovers bubble popped.
Boy, there were some ugly Rovers fans on the TV. I just love seeing Carlos and Josh winding them up at the try LOL

My 2c worth:

1.Swift was a try - the ball came immediately backwards off his hand
2. Carlos - THAT WAS A TRY - absolute robbery
3. Burrito should have been allowed play on to score as well - again a dumb decision

That's 3 tries in the first half

4. The lift tackle on Lane was not given - UNREAL it wasn't given and led to more pressure.
5. Hall knocks on on his own 5 picking up the ball - that would change the game and it was a knock on
6. THIS IS IT - Rovers DG attempt in 1st half. Mental weakness all over it. Showed FC that rovers were scared. WHO takes a DG after 3-4 sets on the opponent's line???
7. Adam's reaction to our 3rd try on half time - amazing
8. Out goal line D was terrific and holding up over the line so many times and the DG block on the hooter!
9. Good to see us move the ball wide in 2nd half instead of down the middle early in tackle count
10. I taught Jamie that tackle at Skirlaugh and that changes the game again
11. Carlos again robbed at the paly the ball - ref plays on and rightly so - WHO tells the ref to stop as that was bollox decision
12. Where was Cam Scott inn the game? needs to offer much more
13. Ma'u was devastatingly brilliant - best game in FC shirt and what an engine

JAKE CONNOR - I need say no more

Loved beating the World Champions today!

Some great performances on show from us. Nice to see Jamie back. Loved the way he went to Hooker straight away. Better passing from PTB and looking to back the runners up down the middle.

His tackle on the pudding Maher was absolutely beautiful.

You’ve changed your tune…predictably and as always. What happened to the
Inevitable defeat?

Yawn…

Well all the Sky pundits went for Rovers pre game. A win against the odds, how marvellous. Your only.comment on yesterday's game. Bravo.

Morning mate, what are your thoughts on the game?

Thought Tony Smith was very good in defeat yesterday, in fact I've read a few good things from Rovers fans on Twittet, I wonder if it was the same on the secret forum, unfortunately not. Some classics

JB down under claimingg Lane was a meter offside, I've watched it a few times and he was at square marker and was square, ive got a photo on when Vete played the ball and he was square.

We were full strength, I'd say we had two really key players out in Satae and Griffin, they had two key players out in Abdul and Quinlan. We also had players coming back from injury and covid. 3 injuries during the game which adlfdected our bench usage

Worst Rovers have played this season also, what even worst than the defeat at Wakey and lucky win at Leigh.

It's great how bitter they are on their forum, where they cant be challenged.

Great advert for the game,terrific atmosphere,and the best team on the day won and hull won their cup final.Well played.

We do tend to win cup finals nowadays.

Good job it wasn't their Cup Final

At least they got a glorious homecoming parade out of it.

What a fantastic game of RL that was, best derby for years, credit to Rovers for making it such a good game. Thought Sneyd, Connor, Reynolds combined brilliantly, such a shame Josh got an injury because we are going to need him.
MOM for me was Manu by a mile, he was devastating all game.
Wonderful to see the ground packed and the atmosphere rocking, really missed that.
Anyone catch the crowd figure, im guessing around 18,000?
Roll on Thursday hopefully a lot will return to cheer us on against a rejuvenated Tigers team, need to win that and then rest up for Salford BHM always a good away trip.

Can someone please dig that famous photo out

Not only was he onside, there were two rovers players stood offside by the side of Vete when he played the ball, and Lane still managed to get past them as well.

Bubbles, 3 umbrellas and a German Shepherd.


Mau was immense yesterday.
Never doubted him.
When he first arrived at training and senior pro's at the club were saying he was different gravy, well, I tend to roll with that.

I have the photo - kept it as a keepsake - HOW do I post it? I'll do it now!

This one?

Oh yeah - that's the one. A real beauty of comedy gold

Compared to this one. What's that saying about the sun shining on the righteous?

Do you also have a picture of Jamie at 9 on your mantlepiece?

where the heck is rubyred and kieththered today???????
