| Think a lot of Saints fans have been so up themselves while filled with there own self importance it's unreal. Granted they are the current Champions and well done to them but they won after a complete head fart by flower then got themselves smashed and embarrassed by Souths.
Little more grace goes along way.

It has reached that stage.
Modesty is not a bad look and it's maybe born, in this case, of knowing that it was a game against pretty modest opposition.
The Boot will inevitably be on the other foot one day - is it better to enjoy and splurge or be a little reserved against that day? If you kick the dog, then when it recovers sufficiently to bite you, you deserve it. I've run too far with this.
My optimism is becoming a bit less cautious.

They loved it a few years ago when we all thought we were going into administration,ive never seen so many happy black and whites and black and white shirts.
Strange if you stick at it,things may change your way and at the moment its a classic case of what goes around comes around,so just enjoy and watch them squirm for a change.
Happy easter all.

| I can see Hull just turning a very depleted Saints over. I unfortunately can see us getting turned over by a big giants team that know how to play good rugby which let's be honest, our last two opponents haven't.

| Hull have got championship written all over them, and no club deserves it more.
If the boot was on the other foot they'd be all over it , drilling it into us , sending us directions to Batley .
Like they always said , super league only needs one hull club.

| I'd be hugely surprised if any SL team went down, as good as Leigh look.
We're the last promoted team.
In 2006 we had the measure of everyone in the Championship. We lost against Leigh in the NRC whilst heavy favourites and then dropped some games once top spot was secure by playing kids.
That year we produced an amazing one off against Wire in the cup and then got royally bummed by Saints.
They were one off games. We were the only team to be full time all year.
Any Championship side is going to have to produce that sort of form week in week out, just can't see it.

Cas were promoted the year after us, I was at the 2007 Grand Final at Headingley when they beat Widnes.
Rovers, Leigh & Widnes were all full time in 2006. The latter 2 stayed full time following their relegation the previous year.

Exactly right - there should be No magnanimous acts by any true Rovers fans who have had to listen to the tripe coming from they're mouths, particularly when they were wetting themselves at the possible administration!
Championship football will end that club, they wont be able to afford the ground rent on the remaining fickle fans once they've all walked away - Bet Mickey Pea wishes he'd stayed!

A big Giants team who, not only played tonight but, were beaten at home by Salford. We are more than capable of creating a bit of history and winning both Easter SL games for the first time. COYR.

| I just love people who define who a true Rovers fan is, which basically comes down to "anyone who thinks what I think".
They tend to be the type who like to use the suffix "....FACT" in place of "....ONLY MY OPINION".

I thought the definition of a True Rovers fan was someone born within ears shot of the bells of St Columba's church on the corner of Laburnum Ave.

You want to try living where I live (close to Haydock park), its full of plastic scousers and saints fans, who are errr plastic scousers, all full of themselves and always there to offer a condescending opinion of your team(s). And then theres the Warrington fans....

I used to drive down Laburnum Avenue to matches though. I suppose I will have to live with being just a Rovers' fan and look on with envy at the "True Rovers' Fans".

Is it someone who actually argues that the Hull KR dance team is the best of its kind on the Planet?
Is it someone who actually pays to eat one of those awful pies or pasties and drink crap Carling lager on matchdays?
Is it someone who never asks why they don't serve onions with the bloody hot dogs?
I am guilty on points 2 and 3 above and with a little more Carling lager, I might be persuaded on point 1.
For the record I was born on Westcott Street, was baptised at St Columbas and went to school in Mersey St. I sold match programmes as a teenager for 3 years outside the old Craven Park in all weathers. Not once did I ask for a pay rise. Despite this my daughter is an avid Rhinos fan. Kids eh?
How authentic do I rate on the Bobbin Along meter?

It was the onion thing that cost you the True Roevers Fan status.

That's tough, but in mitigation, age has dimmed the senses and I accept that standards have to be maintained. No more Mr Nice Guy, onion wars from now on.
