Nope, all our funds were put into achieving SL

Reserves and academy to begin next season assuming we don't get relegated

Wow!

10 start on coupon or 3-1 for the win.id expect Leigh to have the cup as a low priority as opposed to super league survival? Does seem a big price on first glance

How do you suggest we fund a quality first team and running an academy (which I understand next season will be £200k for the academy) - without years of SL funding. £1.8m is it, that's a hell of a gap to fill for teams in the championship

Sorry I was been sarcastic it was just your fans were saying all week how you'd struggle to raise a team and yet you name a near full strength team

I wasn't having a pop.... just shocked you have no contingency, seems bizarre to me to think you have set pool of players and that's that.

We're just getting our excuses in just in case we lose !

The contingency in our case is survival.
Personally, after years of watching champ rugby, SL is brutal in terms of intensity and we have been caught out a little - a lot of it down to bad luck, but hey ho

For me we're always going to be in the middle 8's - come the business end we will have the majority of the current squad plus additional quality available.
It's a different game than just straight promotion/relegation

Your season has been a bit reminiscent of our first season in super league, I reckon you will be alright I fancy Widnes for the mpg

Really looking forward to this game, 'role reversal' in many respects for us, where as a championship side in the CC, as in the last 3 years, we beat Wakefield & Salford, and also only lost at Warrington & Leeds by just over 10 points. You guys will bring a BIG following, and should make for a cracking atmosphere....and hopefully it's an exciting game....that WE win !

anybody out there ? Bless.....

Now then Mr Budgiezilla,a game that could go either way . probably means more to us as a team and fans than yourselves? But yes should be a good day out

Most rovers fans go on hull kr fans forum, hence the tumbleweed on this forum.

Unless your banned before you even join

Nice & Sunny in Leigh today !!

Are you me?

Interesting game this, the two clubs have more or less switched places. We always had a bit of a heated rivalry in the early to mid nineties with Leigh, with us eventually gaining the upper hand.

I'll stick with what I originally said and will settle for a close loss to give the team a reminder of just how hard the rubbish eights will be. Having said that, a win would be brilliant if only to shut my mates father in law up who after years of being a Wire fan suddenly rediscovered his love of The Leythers about nine months ago...

Whole team stood up today.forwards did better than I thought they would.More steel in the team mentally and if the soft gets,most of whom are now playing superleague elsewhere had shown half as much effort we wouldn't be in the situation we are.certainly pleasing result and looking forward to the draw for next round.still plenty to work on for Sheens but that win sends the right message out.

Excellent result. As Sheens said pre-match this doesn't mean a huge amount in terms of the 8s - but a heavy defeat would have made some a bit twitchy no doubt.

Also another step to putting some stuff behind me psychologically - last season's defeat to Oldham can be properly consigned to the 'just history' part of my brain.

I look forward to watching it. Anybody but Wigan or Hull in the next round please.

Good to get then win, no doubt a big boost on and off the field.

Doesn't mean a great deal though, bigger tests to come. We're a much bigger team than Leigh.

Bring on the 8's.

Do you mean our the players look bigger than theirs or that we are a bigger club?

I like the poetical reference in your location, by the way. The bard of Salford's finest.

Well played Hull KR....fully deserved. Not bothered about the cup, but just wanted to see us win an actual game. At least you have 'pace' in your backs, unlike us !

Well, that was fun. Not something we've able to to say often lately, and not often I've come away from a game ho recently.

I think teddypicker can only mean we're (open to debate) a bigger club as Leigh were noticeably bigger physically.

We had a game plan today and executed. There's still things to work on but we put in an eighty minute performance. Leigh look to be massively lacking confidence and belief, they're body language was awful at times.

Great to see Shaw in clear air, the lad has pace, I've no idea where he came from for his second try. Josh Johnson looks a player, made great yards and Jordan Abdul had his best game that I've seen him play in a Rovers shirt, really put in a proper half backs display of game management in that second half.

Big defensive effort from the whole team in defending five back to back sets in the second half.

More please Tim and Rovers.

Just got in, splendid afternoon over at the LSV. That was a good performance from us but I'm assuming Leigh have played much better than that as they were pretty shocking.

Still a lot to work on but as a calibration exercise, we came out of it pretty well. Great atmosphere in our end too.

very good performance full of character and passion, young guns lawler, mulhern, greenwood , special praise, along with the ever improving Heffernan,if we can repeat this in the eights a good chance of promotion
