I think they even believed Morgan when he told them they could win it.

You have taken steps forward. We've probably plateud to be fair rather than gone backwards which isnt good enough. I hate to talk about them but injuries to key players for the last 2 years and an inadequate coach have done us no favours at all. We've had no scrum half for 2 years which has been our main problem imo.
I do think certain Rovers fans need to calm down a little but though and stop over hyping what youve achieved. (even though it has been a success) Theres such a long way to go before you can compete imo for regular top honours. Youre on the right path but with gates averaging approx 8000 and with Hudgell still having his own agendas etc i'm not sure the existing set up is whats needed to make those further steps.
Guess in general there seems to be a level of arrogance coming from certain Rovers channels both fans and club that the full RL world could do without.

IMO you have gone back though mate - last year you made a Wembley final!
Personally I've got complete confidence in the current set-up and their ability to keep progressing. The crowds are stable at the moment but hopefully will grow with time e.g. as the club improve the facilities.
Re arrogance, you're not referring to the King of Kings avatar are you?

Where have we said otherwise? This thread is about Rovers fans saying that reaching a major final isn't anything to celebrate. Ergo finishing 6th and not even reaching a semi final in either comp can't be either.
No need for name-calling pet. Might get you a ban. I'll let you off as you sound a bit grouchy.

We did make a wembley final but didnt play very good rugby. Thats the wonder of the cup. Wire won it this season as a further example.
Nah, not referring to your avatar. Was meaning more the general conversations and the general mindset of some Rovers fans. I struggle to even have a conversation around rugby with some now which ive never struggled with before purely due to the over cockyness of a few.

Yeah I'm sure you wouldn't want to add me to your list would you?
If we finished 6th then the regular season SL table must now be completely meaningless now then, other then determining who makes the 8.

What I really don't get with Agar is - this thing about 'not his team' this year. He was in charge last season so surely 2009 was his team, i.e. it's not like he started mid-way through this year, if you get me.
I know I'm probably biased, but I would put it down to (in most cases) a feeling of 'we've finally got the upper hand' in the city, rather then cockiness. Most people know it won't last, but personally it's a case of just enjoying it whilst it does.

Agar has never said "It's not my team". Others have - but not Agar. He has made many mistakes during games with interchanges and sometimes selection. He will have better players at his disposal next year and around 10 games at a guess to prove whether or not he is a SL coach.

I know I'm going O/T, but wouldn't that be a bad move for stability sacking him 10 games in, surely now or end of 2010 would make more sense.

The board has decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. There is an argument that changing your coach too often is counter productive and maybe they've gone with that. ATEOTD unless you rate Noble there aint that many 'top' coaches about that are available right now anyway. Wigan are looking at appointing an Aussie assistant coach for example.

I dont get that with Agar too.
My issue with it not being his team and the injuries is that no matter what side we've put out this season it should always have been competetive but theyve always looked un-motivated and dis-organised. Tactically he has shown himself to be a bafoon and i do fear next season with him still in charge.

Wasn't that the same year we won the challenge cup, something Rovers last did in errr 1980. No wonder they harp on about that year so much.
