Quote ="CHURCHILL"I think the majority of Rovers fans are just enjoying it for what it is, we have no expectations, and the team plays with little pressure from the fans. We are still to put in a full eighty minutes and play a team off the pitch.
Our strength is our defence this season, it's improved year on year, and our attack isn't half bad either. Are we a top four side, I think we are capable of being there come the end of the season, and perhaps the competitiveness of this years comp is perhaps helping us on our way, but on the other side of that we've had some notable scalps including Wigan and Saints away as well as Warrington at MM and Hull on their own pitch.
Thing is though, I don't want it to appear that Rovers are a shining light of Super League, we are one of a few clubs. Huddersfield, Cas, Wakefield, and Quins are all worth a mention for starting the season well and putting pressure on the usual suspects, and that alone, can only be good for the game. Add to that the ever improving Salford, and Celtic looking like they are finally finding there feet in this league, then likes or Warrington, Bradford, Wigan and Catalan must wonder what has hit them.
Back to Rovers, we've played every team now, we look in good shape, my only fear is that last season, a tough quarter final against Saints, which we almost won, knocked our season for six and it took us eight games to get back on track, so the cup tie with Wire will show how far we have come if we can cope with it afterwards, win or lose.'"
