It's half term and he's bored?

Old, alone, retired and bored?

Or just plain bored?

Because it's like finding a 50 quid note and using it for bog-roll.

So, you're saying that as it was a "end of season throwabout game" you shouldn't have tried to win for the fans who travelled? It also might have helped the figures a bit in the old "W" column of the SL table, not to mention the frankly poor 1 win from 10 run.

To extend your charming analogy, at least you have a clean bum. Losing by 40 or 50 is like being without the £50 [iand[/i having no access to other means of anal hygiene. So worse.
To lose narrowly is often heart breaking, but at least you've had some excitement. To lose heavily is always soul destroying. You've never heard anybody say 'Well, at least it wasn't even close', have you?

So you've not really answered my question.

what about the fans that went to catalans last season to see us get beat 56-6 who do you think watched the better game it could have been worse we could have gone to widnes and got hammered couldnt we =#FF0000edit - MR

Doesn't seem quite so bad when, in the next game, you inflict Bradford's biggest ever home defeat on them at a time when they have their tails up.

Nor should you feel bad getting beat by Catalans. They were one of the better sides last year.
London were cack by comparison, you made them seem much better.

Widnes notwithstanding, we reached the playoffs despite 2 awful performances against Widnes and Salford. You were nowhere near.

And did so well in them

We earned a fair penny, yes. We were never going to get to the final, anyone would tell you that, but it's a huge improvement over 2011. Besides, I know what its like for my team to be in a SL Grand Final and I want that again.

Lets hope that when Rovers have been in S.L for 15 years they have more to show for it than a C.Cup win and beaten finalists in the Grand Final

:
and i know what its like to win win at wembley so everybodys happy

Ah!! memories eh Frankie. You hang on to that and you'll be able to tell your great grandkids about Rovers last famous win.

That's right Frankie, skip the back to back titles that followed and ignore all the other silverware from the same decade.

i know stan but they got to a grand final (and got hammered)how can me mentioning all our silverware compete with that

So do I take this to mean that JM isn't going to return to SL then?

Yeah, I want a Silk Cut Losers Plate too. "We got knocked out in the first round and won a nice platter for our buffet table".

Funny how a 5 point win at a demolished ground means so much to you still. I don't recall much crowing about the Floodlit Trophy from FC fans. In fact, you lost the grip on the CC in '81 while we won it in '82. When did you last get to a CC final?

I really dont see the obsession with past glories - especially from people who weren't born when you were a decent team.

Anyway, Morgan. How did his first season in SL stack up against Sandercocks?

Sandercock's debut season was better than Morgan's, but that's hardly the full picture. How was Gentle's 1st season compared to Peter Sharp's (for example)?

It is our one and only challenge cup win you moron. Of course it still means something
