Ive been away for a few days with the wife and kids. As i was driving back the result came through and i was astounded - unfortunately i pick & choose my games now and ive never taken my kids to a derby yet. Ive watched the highlights and we looked good good but KR also look proper turd (which of course they always where) - im very happy with the result and big raps to Radders and the players. With players coming back we actually seem to be developing some momentum - not long ago we where going downhill fast so credit where credits due.

Sorry I've been a very busy boy after the game but glad you missed me.
Don't know what your obsession is with us but certainly glad I've made an impression on you enough to think of me after a great win.
You could instead of trying to score cheap points and impress your Internet friends just enjoy the result and comment on the game.
A well deserved win, every player did their part, great tactical awareness from Lee and by far Houghton's best game for a while.

Never in doubt was it, despite 7 missing and an 18 year old at full back?

It was late for me but what a joy

Can’t put enough points on those filth

Seeing Kelly run amok was a sight and a half

Rovers were poop - real poop

The last try of Logan’s and the Wynne try are the most perfect 3 mins of RL v the muppets from Crap Park
That helps erase some memories from a long time ago
What beautiful tries in a loud cauldron and sunny day

There’s a clown on the Rovers forum saying Logan isn’t a winger and it’s criminal he was allowed to score tries

Hope you had a good break.

Theres those who want to be jumping on and off at every station.
Then theres those who are a bit harder to bend.
Fantastic day.
Poorly head.

I think I will wait for the next one before I jump back on. As I said after the Warrington game, if he stays we will have good days and we will have bad days, but ultimately I don't think he can take us to a grand final. I really hope he proves me wrong, but at great as yesterday was, he has more to do yet to get me to change my mind.

That's your prerogative.
I just find it easier to get behind somebody who has given us more success than we've had in many moons.
Radford might not get there but I think he's probably got as good a chance as any other.

Glad you're still alive.



58.missed tackles for the Robins yesterday. Oh dear.

Just wanna watched the game again not sky. The devastation Kelly causes coming off the bench I see incredible.

Enterd first pub at 10.03am Friday morning.
Left my local at 00.47 this morning.
A comparatively minor session by my high standards.
Only about fifteen hours on it.


Was gonna say we had a bit of a break for the rugby but we slotted half a dozen down at the KC.

Half a game:
126 metres
10 carries
9 tackle busts
2 clean breaks
1 try
1 try assist

Tbf he won’t get an easier half to play in and showcase his skills

191 metres for Bureta off 13 carries. Awesome stuff!
We had 6 players make over 100 metres,and Carlos just short with 97.
In comparison the only player for Rovers to get over 100 was Garbutt who made 102. A couple came close though.

You sound surprised even when we win the missed tackles is still high

Second half master class

At half time our crowd on the concourse basically agreed that ... although it was a close game , if we started to complete our sets we would win the game.
However, not one of us said “if you bring on Albert Kelly the game will turn on its head, he will inject himself into the game like a force of nature and be a catalyst for a transformation of the whole teams performance and we will blow them away with a record score with 40 minutes of glittering Rugby.”

I have to say, We are so lucky to have him. I feel priveliged he plays for my team. What a player.

Murder in the midday sun.

:

Having watched it back I can confirm; Rovers absolutely shat themselves when Kelly came on.


Hilarious how they were falling over each other to tackle him, leaving huge gaps, and still not managing to tackle him

Every game Kelly plays is a bonus for me. He doesn't always hit the mark but in terms of instinct and skill he's the best 6 we've had in my time suppoorting the club. I expect him to leave at the end of the year but my goodness he's provided some incredible moments.

Why is Sheens moaning about been down to 12 men? Does he not realise we were also down to 12 men for the exact same time period.

"with a scoreline like that you can’t talk about a ball that went dead and you should have got a 20-metre restart instead of a scrum near the corner."..... but he still is.

What else can he say after that second half? Facing the truth of that 2nd 40 is unpalatable so layer on some hard luck fan appeasement fairytales and see how it goes.
