Brigg Rover

Congratulations to Sir Billy Boston, well deserved and not before time!

Thanks guys very helpful. What sort of prices were flights and accommodation guys? And where did you stay?

Would be interested to hear about people's experiences, what things cost and how they booked? Was it official tours or did you do it yourself?

I was extremely confident going into the CC game as Hull had not really been in a game of the intensity that we could bring. Now they have, and after that they have gone on and played well against Warrington. Whilst we have lost to Wigan. This game will be a lot closer I think and it would not surprise me if Hull manage to pull off a win. If this game was played 5 times think we win 3 and Hull win 2. Hopefully this will be one of the 3!

We played a friendly against Bradford a few years back and Leon Pryce's brother played 7 that day. Karl i think his name was, we all said he has to be the biggest guy we have ever seen put a 7 jumper on!

Outside of North America please name me a sport where teams are making a profit and growing? The last interview I saw from one of the Football financial experts was that every single team in the Premier League is losing money! What is your solution to the so called problems we have? If everything is going wrong and the sport is dying and will be dead in 20 years, what is your solution? I am sure everyone here would love to know what we should be doing to save ourselves.

Salford are as a team are the perfect example of a team greater than the sum of its parts. Well coached with a good number 7. That said we are at home, playing full of confidence with a pretty much fully fit squad. The most pleasing thing for me has been our defense. 1 try a game conceded in each of the last 4 games. I think Salford will need to score 3 or 4 trys at least to beat us, and at the moment if we turn up totally on it I don't think they can.

As a Rovers fan I am happy with the signing. The behind the scenes benefits in training with standards setting for the young players he will be invaluable. If you listen to Roosters players he is the club leader in training, that is what we are buying. If you think his coach doesn't know exactly what he is going to get from JWH and is still happy to put him out there, you are mistaken. His coach wants him to play exactly the way he does. Sometimes it goes wrong but the good far outweighs that.

And despite this terrible record the Roosters have kept selecting him every week he is available. Guess you guys know far more than Trent Robinson.

To be fair it would be difficult not to be alright at the moment with us top of the league and your lot bottom! Apart from the weekend though were the game was totally spoilt to the point were we were walking out of Elland Road as the hooter went. Pretty much missed the last 15 mins of the game in fact the only thing I saw of the Evalds try was him putting the ball down, didn't even know we were back in their half! The daft part of it all was when we went to Cas a few weeks ago there was no trouble at all! Guess because it was a Thursday night they muppets hadn't been on the ale all day.

Yes their fans did cause trouble at the 91-92 Challenge Cup semi at Headingley against Hull FC.

No it wasn't Football fans it was Cas fans. A group of about 50 to 75 turned up with about 20 minutes of the Rovers game left. Clearly been on the ale, which is no problem. Signing and chanting, again no problem, but then it the problems started when some of them started standing on seats and banging the roof and the back of the stand. The stewards all cleared off, very helpful! They then started goading the Rovers fans and trying to start trouble. Within 10 minutes of them arriving it all kicked off. There were a number of kids in the area where the Cas fans had gone, these were the kids who had been on the pitch at the start of the game holding the big Rovers flag they have on display. We then had parents trying to get to their kids to get them out of the way and it all just went completely peared shaped. After another 5 minutes the police and stewards finally turned back up to deal with it. Complete shambles totally ruined the day for a great many people.

Must admit was a bit gutted when I saw he was out. He is a bit of a turnstyle in defense.

It is often very difficult for the lower sides to back up after a big effort like Cas did last week against Wigan. If Rovers come out hard and keep the intensity up for the first 25 mins and don't give away penalties or drop ball then they should have the firepower to come through this by 20 points.

No idea. 100% he would have been off in the NRL. As soon as someone starts staggering they are off.
