He was on Monday. As I predicted, Rovers got an "unexpected boost" with him being declared fit for week 2 of the play-offs. Just the standard mind games, overstate injury before appropriate medical opinion to create a good news story midweek. Hopefully the same will apply to Briscoe, he did look in some trouble unfortunately.

Just sharing what i know and what i hear on the grapevine.

many thanks, but everyone knows the grapes on your vine have been sour for 3 years now.

go to GF every year, would be a monumental achievement if rovers were to get there, but i have enjoyed this season so far and its not over yet.

well we now have a fairly difficult route to he gf

rd1 v leeds
if we lose

rd 2 against winners of wakefield v catalans

if we win rd2 then semi against leeds unless they choose somone else except for the sts(who cannot be chosen as semi apponnents)

wich could then lead to game against sts,hudds,wigan or cas depending on there set of results

We do mate, but i am just happy we are discussing this, three years in Superleague and we are in the playoffs, regardless of what happens it's a fantastic achievement.

here here!!!

Completely agree, no matter what happens from now on in we've had a great season.

Potentially a minimum 160 minutes from Old Trafford after 27 rounds of the Super League. I'm sure we;d have taken that back when Justin said he thought we could win it

I actually would prefer to that to the winners of Castleford and Wigan, is it definately correct?

Yes if we lose we play winners of 5 vs 8

Correct.

It hasn't stopped us all season, has it you ?

Anyway, all teams have injuries...its how the team reacts that proves the difference.

Wrong, if cats beat wakie then we will play winners of cas v wigan.

Leeds certainly did.

And after tonight we are no worse off despite what a few empty heads from the west of the city are alluding to

Whether the final score reflected the game is a matter of conjecture , but that is how the game ended.

Personally , I'm not despondent - we've another game to look forward to.

I'm still proud of the club and the lads, just chuffed to be the top team in the city and making the play-offs three years into SL, well done boys .

We were beaten by a much better team last night. Their forwards dominated and to be honest you could see this type of scoreline coming in the first 10 minutes. We just had to work to hard to make yards, it was always going to catch up with us towards the end. We had far to many important players missing to compete with Leeds, which was compounded (unfortunate use of words in the situation i know) by the injury to Chev, which weakened us further.

I said before the game that it would be our heaviest defeat of the season. However, I think we played OK, especially in the first half. You need your full first choice squad, to play your best, and a bit of luck to beat Leeds, especially away from home, and sadly we ticked none of those boxes last night.

I don't think the scoreline was a true reflection of the game, but congratulations to Leeds for not letting us score a point in the second half. I think mid-way through the second half when we knew the game was lost, minds may have turned to next week.

Isn't it funny how injuries have just been an unimportant distraction and source of great pleasure for all you dobbins until now



All of a sudden the mighty HKR have had to play without a mere FOUR players and it's injuries...injuries...troops coming back....decimated squad....injuries....oh and a few more injuries !!!!







WTF would your mighty squad have done without 8 or 9 players missing EVERY WEEK ????


Good look in your next game and I hope you have more luck with all your injuries and decimated squad

You see the difference is we haven't spouted about it from every rooftop in the world, We as a club just got on with it and let others discuss or problems. Thats the difference
