Whilst I agree Lee soaks up the pressure early on, he is average at best in attack. He has a slow play of the ball. Why? Well he always points where the ball is going to go, waits for a second so the opposition also knows where it's going and then eventually plays the ball exactly as he indicated. Therefore he's slow and actual helps the opposition slightly.

Apart from that he's pretty average, but yes, it does mean Lunt looks even more awesome when he (or anyone who can play at dummy half) replaces him.

If Lawler was fit, Lee wouldn't even make the 19.

The biggest thing about this game is that the backroom staff need to have thoroughly researched and solved the problem of the travel.
If we've done that properly and decide to stick to the game plan, we'll win.

He never seems to run out of acting half aswell just passes straight from the floor instead of jumping out like all good hookers do ... Lunt looks very far from his best though not sure if he’s 100 percent fit I like lawler at 9 then Lunt of the bench that worked well the sooner he’s back the better

We just need to smash the moose fookers.

Agreed but Lawler isn’t fit unfortunately

Unless you have a major problem due to the travel I can't see toronto getting near to beating you. rowley's teams are always p1$$ and wind who only get by bullying the opposition and they don't have the pack to do that against rovers.

Look at their squad, it's full of failed SL and average championship players with the odd half decent aussie thrown in. I wouldn't be surprised if they go up through the MPG due to widnes being utter shat but doubt they'll get near to beating you, salford or leeds

Jerry Sadowitz wants his gags back from Montreux.

Busted.

I remember seeing him in a tent at Glastonbury in 1989 and thinking he was quite funny.

I soon realised it was the scrumpy.

Will the Rovers fans sing
“ what’s it like to see a crowd ? “
And then realise ........

And then realise what ?

The suspense is killing me

How many Rovers fan are making the trip over?

Its a bit of a stretch. It's holiday season where people are already away and it's short notice for an expensive trip. We might find no Rovers fans in attendance for the first time ever. Hopefully at least a few but very vocal fellow east standers will have managed it.

I'm quite calm about the game after the Todd Carney news. That'll change tomorrow of course.

COYR!!!!!!

I have relatives who are going so we definitely won't be entirely without support. I'm going to Toulouse and I know there'll be plenty of us there. I'll be going to Toronto next year if we're both in Superleague.

I'm thinking about 50 hopefully they can make some noise and show them cringey plastic s some atmosphere

Just told my wife Rovers are playing Toronto. She expressed surprise, as she hadn’t heard they have a team - she knew there is a French team in SL. So I said, ‘Yeah, Catalans. In a few weeks we’ll be playing Toulouse, as well.’ She asked why - then I realised how Toulouse sounds with my accent. Anyway, it reminded me of this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbados_4–2_Grenada_(1994_Caribbean_Cup_qualification) And we think the 8s system is daft!

Very nervous about this game as it draws nearer.We should be beating this mob but by rights we should have beaten Salford but put in a feeble effort. Enjoyed the Aus games so far and the Salford and Catalans games coming up should be decent.Just got 18 cans of Magners for a tenner at Morrisons so set for the day. Fingers crossed

Salford are a much better side than toronto with 2 quality half backs and a decent pack. You'll beat toronto comfortably

18 cans I guess we can expect some ranting or celebrating tonight then Craig on here late on

If we’d had beaten everyone you’ve predicted us to beat we’d have won the CC cup and Grand final for the last couple of years

ha,you've got me there. Hopefully it will be celebrating but if not then yeah it will be doom and gloom. Still cant see any merit in a Canadian side but like Carter said last night if they go up via the 8s then you can't knock it.

Lets have it Rovers, beat this team of rejects and chancers and we'll be right, win or lose on the booze

Come on Rovers....wipe that 'smirk' of arrogant Rowley's face !

Rowley is a Turd of a man. Just hope we can sort them out?
