Thank baby Jesus and The Orphans for that.



Didn't enjoy the game or the day at all but thank heavens for no MPG.



It felt a bit anti climatic in the end.



I thought it was a professional performance, not a great one, we did what we needed to do. The difference this week was that the senior players in McGuire, Scruton and Blair really stood up. I really like Atkin, I think he's improving all the time, he's not afraid to get involved and he continues to become more consistent. Lee had a really good game, defended superbly at times and Mulhern continues to be a machine.



Further recruitment in either a full back or a half back, a centre and we still need that big nasty prop is required. I wonder if the signings of Lannon and Hauraki signal Bobby Blair's retirement? I hope not.

The best thing that happened today was carney going off and Blair coming on shows how much we’ve missed him the last couple of weeks he has to get another contract

Lannon is a good signing imo.Very similar to Clark but we never gave him a real chance. The job is done despite Minns drug ban, Heffs retirement Shaw lawler Quinlan and Carney season enders.Lunts gash! Lunts meningitis,Mcguires clot,wierd suspensions,refs costing us 6 points,general injury madness.Sheens has done well for all the setbacks and starting behind the other 11 teams in regard of the new season.Well done Hudge and Rob.. I effing love The Rovers and very happy tonight

Forgot Addy

I don't usually bite but I feel I need to comment on that. Our recent signings arent meant to be stars, they are clearly to pad out the squad with the reserves starting again next year and a number of our youngsters being deemed surplus to requirements. N'Zoungou could have a decent future, but I don't expect the other 3 to ever play a SL game unless we have another mad injury crisis.



Anyway. Congrats on today. Yes I was rooting for Widnes, but as I said earlier in the thread it would have been an injustice for you to go down after what has been really not a bad season. See you all next year.

Well he's no Danny Houghton but I wouldnt go that far.





Incidentally it sounds like he is doing well. Hope to see him back on the field asap.

I think I spent so much of the week preparing for the worst, then feeling even worse when O’Brien kicked that drop goal for TWP, that I didn’t really know how to feel at the end. The radio coverage was pretty matter of fact too, and it was just all a bit understated.



There wasn’t the buzz of Shaw’s long range try last year, for example. But really, this is enormous. It feels like we’ve shaken off a burden. Today something could have gone wrong... and it didn’t.



What a good job Tim Sheens has done of picking us, dusting us down and getting us back to where we are now. Into a massive headwind of misfortune this year too.

Relief is certainly the feeling.



It's been a tough season and the qualifiers are unbelievably tense, they really take their toll on the players of all clubs involved. Now we have negotiated them the club can build with a little more confidence.



Here's to 2019.

So how exactly did you expect RH to celebrate your 32nd consecutive year of utter mediocrity?

I suggesr you change your signature spegs my friend. ROVERS STAYING UP

Well that was a weird season and I'm just glad it's over and we can hopefully move on now. On current form, lets hope we get to play our illustreous west of the city rivals three times next year!

Agree 100%,players like blair are invaluable,always give 100%,play wherever required by the club,a glowing example to the younger players.My clubman of the year.
