I am not a whining, balding Antipodean.

Wizeb it was tongue in cheek about the nrl

I don't rate this current Saints line up yet. They have it all to prove. St Helens have only seen off some average teams.

However, I do rate this KR side when it gets it's act together, we are just underperforming right now. I expect a close game next Friday.

And, unlike certain other fans, I WILL NOT be spinning anykind of defeat as somekind of moral victory.

Shape up.
You've forgotten to mention Wembley, you numpty.

what is old brucey smoking!!??

probably believes the moon is made of cheese too!

How can anybody rate Rovers but nor Saints' team? That's the most ridiculous and deluded thing I've heard so far this season.

Bruce stop embarrassing yourself with stupid statements saints have beaten Warrington and big spending Salford easily and Hull we have scored 16 points at home in 2 games and I don't envisage a close game next Friday

Brilliant. Post of the year so far.

Thing with Rovers is, a close game (possibly even a Rovers win) wouldn't be too surprising next week. You're a bit like us were you will flop against poorer teams but one off wins against the big teams tend to happen. Inconsistency at it's finest.

Almost as good as the post by the Wakefield fan on VT that Peter Gentle will be the first coach to get the sack this session!

I saw that liked the way he dragged it back though

This is a ridiculous post. Look closer at last week. It was particularly close so hull fans took heart. Nobody took it as a moral victory. Same as rovers it's gonna be 5/6/7 games in before we start hitting our best.
How i see your boys,
Weyman doesn't play many games-ever not had top form for a few years
Poore isn't all that, some days good others not, and always a liability (i was a Wakefield pass holder last year due to some family connections) so I've seen more than most
Costigan is the biggest money stealer I've ever seen. He's nothing more than good defender these days. Added to that he's a fat mess.world cup i was dumb founded that rovers had signed him, fat slow and well out of shape. Has 20 min of good defensive work in him at best-overseas place??
Langley good in his day, but so underwhelming these days considering his size!
Jonathan walker-made of biscuit!

How you can rate rovers and not saints is laughable.
That said I'm not getting carried away with saints. Early days and Walsh and Roby need to stay fit! But certainly looking front runners
Guess your statement will be well tested next week

Thats a beauty!

Are you named after Rovers fan Mr Mariano? Appropriate after last night.

Just a point on Rovers conditioning in the context of the sports science genius of Sandercock, warm weather training 5 week head start and the massive investments off pitch we've heard about. Is your conditioning team basically the old FC guard of Mallo and Hatton? Your team looked knackered.

Maybe, but this snippet from my all time favourite Rovers fan, Sandra the Terrorist, is excellent:
"Unlike others, I'm going to cut Keating some early game slack, but Burns? Strutting about like you're Cock O' The North, whining like a massive fanny and constant niggling will get you nowhere at this level apart from make you look, as he currently does, like a huge festering bag of putrid pus ready to explode off the backside of the world's sweatiest, most diseased Bangkok hooker."

We have a winner!

I detect a weekly Daily Mail column looming!

Sandra is brilliant. Doesn't walk around starry-eyed regarding Rovers. Tells it like it is and is Caro's number 1 fan.

Rovers should be sacking their conditioning team. Is it still Mallinson? What is he, 60?

Didn't they take on a sports science person from NRL in the close season? Burns, Weyman, Costigan and Keating are overweight and it's showed.

Yes, Les Patterson.

Always thought Sandy had a touch of the Dame Edna's about him.

Biggest comedian was Eden. Some of the things he did had me in stitches.

I would have given 2 of my teeth and 4 of my fingers to have the camera pan to Sandy every time Greg "Slater" Eden made a gaffe. Huddersfield can, apparently, take Eden back anytime they want, paying money to Rovers as part of the deal.

That phone ain't gonna ring.

Come on everybody lets not get excited about HKR .
We haven't played this week yet . Lets concentrate on us and what will be a very hard game at Wire.
Our defence needs sorting big time against a Club still smarting over the CC Semi final defeat.
Could be a long hard afternoon for our Lads.

Tough game for us. I think wire will have too much with carvell missing
