Agree completely. At the start of the match, I wanted to face Warrington, but then Wigan blew it, and had a fierce encounter when Leeds came back. They should be tired, and Deacon may be out for Friday too. Also, J Tomkins may get a ban for kicking McGuire. And they only 4 days to recover.

If we play smart, force a few GLDOs, and play with intensity for the first 10 minutes, tire Wigan out, I could see us being in the final 4...

Finally a sensible Rovers fan. Where've you been?

Good lord, i find myself agreeing with Mrs B

We'll be huge underdogs, but yes, out of the possible extremely tough scenarios this one is most probably the best.

Webster isn't currently an international and hasn't being whilst he's being at Rovers. Also how long has Webbo being out he'll be shattered after 30 mins. I'd stick with the side that beat Hull and give Webster a full pre season with him being fully fit. We'll face a very fired up Wigan side and to say they have gone mentally is horse poop. They where beaten in a very evenly match contest and will be back all guns blazing next week.

Not really. Wigan had 4 out tonight, plus Deacon injured in the game and Joel Tomkins facing a ban for kicking. So half guns blazing.

How can you say Tomkins faces a ban when he's yet to be charged with ANY offence I'll await the RFL's findings 1st.

I didn't say he'd got a ban, I said he's facing a ban. The Sky team (apart from Clarky) were saying it was inconsistent that Radford got a red card the previous week for a similar offence, so it's not unreasonable to assume that the Dream Team backrower faces a ban at this stage.

you spout utter mrs b, do you not get the concept of 'squads' its always doen to they have more players missing than you etc, load of bollox, mods can do what they like to me but i'm getting fed up of you in drivel, your seasons over off till the play offs and actually for once look on your board, do you actually ever go on there???

the sites anti swear thing is obviously kicking in before you comment

Calm down love. This is a thread about Rovers going into a play-off game against a team GML said quite accurately would blow up in the play-offs. Rovers quite possibly, depending on Watts, will have 16 of their first choice 17 available whereas Sky listed 4 players out fir Wigan before yesterday's game plus now Deacon and potentially Dream Team backrower Joel Tomkins depending on disciplinary. Chuck in the extra days turnaround that Rovers had and an easier game (doesn't get much more difficult than a one point defeat agains the champions) and Vella saying Rovers will win th Grand Final and there you have it. Was I right last week? Yes, yes I do believe I was.

Show a bit of respect to someone that clearly knows more about this sort of thing.

FFS can't you just call it a day?

Season's over, we put you to the sword on Saturday, the mind games didn't do any good, the hypnotherapy and blonde wigs you slated did, just get over it darls.

Must admit Mrs B, you're like that slutty lass with the big titties who you took home one night and humped senseless, that keeps on sending you text messages.

Get over it love. It was fun, but your season ended in spectactular style on Saturday!



The Robins have a great chance of making it into the last 4. Out of their last 6 home matches, Wigan have lost 4, and after last night must be feeling pretty low. You lot, on the other hand should be bouncing after that cracking derby performance.

A tight match, and you'll have to watch that niggly little git Tompkins, but I think you've got a great chance!

My sense of chivalry and sense of humour are at war. Can't say which'll win...

Off to Yo Sushi for my lunch, then Paris tomorrow - gone a bit demob happy. =#FF0000Not a personal blog though is it? No, sorry.

I agree with that, they know it is do or die, they will be very tough opposition, however again knock out rugby who knows for sure.

Very good and may I say far more creative than the usual bollox on here

Aww don't be too harsh on yourself Mrs B.

Talking of players out, where were the Tongan Mafia on Saturday

You do realise that they only have 2 brains between them so no way can all three be on the pitch at the same time

you are the usual bollox on here MrsB

The funiest thing is that at least one of them on hearing the new nickname they had was quoted as saying 'But im not even Tongan!'
Made me laugh that one

Not sure a 24 point winning margin counts as "blowing up" exactly.
