forgot about harris, that might be a good call

Obviously disappointed the cup run is over, but what a set of memories it gave us! Despite the loss today, our players ran their blood to water for their teammates & club, I’m proud of em.

If we can keep that attitude & get some more bodies back, we can do some real damage at the business end if the season.

You should be concentrating on beating Salford we need a favour we're shooting for 10th spot

God I hate being nearly right every time

Bookies have the odds against you, and Radford has said we'll struggle physically on Friday, but you never know.

Those odds must be from earlier in the season. There is no way you would get 5/1 for Widnes now.

After today, I think we’ll struggle next weekend, as we have after Cup games in the past but Harris back in and Turgut who should be raring to go, think we can still do it but Lee Radford has got his work cut out. Minicello gave his all today, Manu didn’t seem to be all there. Washbrook got sinbinned against Fev for exactly the same thing so he should take a rap for that. Hope Bumpy eventually gives Radford some praise for today instead of redirecting his past failures onto Coffee Girl.

I’ve just looked on odds checker and it is quoted as current. Which is ridiculous - nobody else is shorter than 100/1 either.

Opportunity for some no-lose betting there! Although iirc correctly bookmakers can renege on a bet if odds are obviously offered in error. I wonder if Widnes and or Rovers should have those numbers reversed? But that would seem too short, tbh.

Betfred have Rovers at 6-4 and Widnes at 11/10, which seems much more sensible.

Yes we do. The theory is that when we are stretched we use a "wrap around" defence, the winger shoots out to try to rush the centre into a mistake/poor pass and the next defenders in push out to the winger. Sometimes we do it when there is no real need to, but when you are defending an overlap it really is the best way to deal with it, you have to pressure the ball carrier otherwise you will just get picked off.

Nah, they just haven't been updated. The Betfred ones will be correct. The Boylesports ones will be from a month or so into the season, if you go on their site the market probably doesn't even exist anymore.

Well said, I have been proud on many occasions of the club, today was an amazing effort from those on display in adversity. Happy indeed to applaud them off. Great effort and performance, albeit with room for improvement in certain areas

Massive effort, although feel that we let ourselves down a couple of times. Particularly Washy, who will be lucky to play next week, injuries might save him. Logan had a shocking first half, it could be argued that all 4 try's were his fault, the last two efforts were really poor. Think Scott has to be above him now.

Taylor was outstanding and really like Mouldi, think he has a great career ahead of him if he keeps his head down.

Next Friday will be tough, but hopefully a couple of fresh players and high new motivation will see us though.

Hard to pick a side without knowing who is out, but I'd bring in Lane, Westy, Litten, Harris and Scott.

I'm gutted we lost in such difficult circumstances but we only have ourselves to blame. With 13 v 13 for the whole game we win today IMO. I thought houghton going off probably cost us any real chance in the end. Such a massive player for us in attack and defence.

Pleasing that even with a makeshift team, 5 definite starters missing, 3 sin binnings, 8 minutes where we only had 11 players on the pitch and losing 3 players to injury in the game that we matched their 4 tries.

Abuse, just giving my opinion, oh wait, that's only allowed if you're one of the special protected few on here who can say what they like.
Mrs Barista's negativity is spouted virtually every single game, she doesn't get behind the team she constantly writes them off and as early as 20 minutes in for one game!

I simply point out that that is negative and troll posting just to get a rise which is exactly what the mods said earlier in the season that she does it deliberately. So I will out it for what it is, a defeatist negative troll.
You can't allow posters to write vitriolic bile when some say something they don't agree with and then say you can't say anything when the tables are turned.
I've been called all sorts on here, baited, personal attacks on my family, called a sexist pig and more and even last week threatened with assault when I come down next (Wigan home game as it happens) and mostly the mods ignore it.
You don't have a say in the matter, you're not a mod, not that they are interested in consistency just like Thaler.

How much more loudly would you have liked me to support them today, stood on the terraces and applauding every play? Should I have sat behind a keyboard instead slating genuine fans and calling our most successful coach in a generation a "steaming gap-toothed turd"? Wow. Incredible. Stick to "dolly bird" casual misogyny please.

She gets on my nerves sometimes aswell but from your post you obviously know she is only doing it to get a rise out of you, so why bother responding to it? You do receive more than your fair share of abuse, but you aren't afraid to throw the insults around yourself. Stop overreacting.

We've at least got to play 3 of those teams so you never know

You Sexist pig, you're like someone out of the 70's

And what are these personal attacks on your family? Do you mean when I said I puity your wife having to put up with you?

I, on the other hand, am a mod. If you're genuinely being abused (properly - the post you quote isn't) then report it, or PM a mod, and we will investigate.

What I'm not going to put up with (nor will the other mods or admin) is stuff like this



for you to then cry about being "abused" yourself.

You've identified that its done to get a rise, so why rise and then complain about it. Everyone knows it so there's no need to call anything out.

We said she does it deliberately as a defence mechanism, not to wind you up. You allow that to happen all by yourself.

Well how's this for consistency, I warned you last week for the personal and constant attacks on Mrs B, so you can take a 7 day break. Any more and it'll be lifetime.

That just made me spit my drink out!!

well seeing as we have just had a disciplinary on here, its a good time to point out that the weekend's disciplinary results are out and there are amazingly 2 grade E charges issued.


not for our game but the 2 leigh players sent off in their QF. there do not appear to be any issues arising out of our match

Your next pint is on me Karen..xx
