No-one seems to have commened on the fact that Toulouse themsleves have a tough CC tie against St Helens this weekend. Agreed they have one more day recovery time but surely this needs to be taken into concideration.

I wonder if the ability to do the Haka means that he counts against our overseas quota.

Totally agree. Top class entertainment from both teams. Couple of lucky bounces for K.R., with kicks through, decided the game in the end but both teams put on a good disciplined display. Well worth another visit.

Can't claim the credit for this report Vic. I was at the game but had enough on keeping the scoreboard ticking over. I'm glad somebody's taken this on board though because the lads deserve a mention.

Sorry MLP I've not been given access to the new site so I don't know if the plan is to link to past games. I will continue to do the reports though and send them in. Thanks for the kind words.

Closely followed by Liam Finn looking to his left to see who was overtaking him and seeing a prop that had been on the field for 45 minutes. An excellent try all round starting on our own 10m line and moving the ball 90m to score.

Two tries and a kick from the DVD are here - The whole DVD is well worth a fiver and it helps boost the coffers. Congratulations to Steve Evans and Martin Overton. A really professional product with plenty of passion.

I don't have access to the new website yet so here goes - Featherstone Rovers 44 Halifax RLFC 4 Rovers faced this evening

Get well soon Bob. Hope they've let you take your laptop in.

Clear as mud to me Chris I'm afraid. Anyway at the moment the site is still available on http://www.featherstonerovers.com/ But I know it will go down soon and hopefully the new site will be ready.

The latest Mick Hollinworth/Jon-paul Jones poster is on the intro page to the website http://www.featherstonerovers.net/ Click on the poster for a downloadable/printable version.

Announced to Blades crowd this weekend inviting new supporters. Be interesting to see if there is any take up.

I put the fixtures up and was then instructed to remove them until they were fully confirmed. Sorry about the reserve profiles. Still waiting for the new site, promised again as recently as last Monday, and time to get down and take the photos. Thanks though for the reminder. I'll chase it up.

Stu I'm sure your mum would have been proud of your performance. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Having done the job myself, albeit at a much lower level, you'd think I'd know better, but I'm as bad as anybody for calling the referee during a game. It's amazing how much better their performance looks when the adrenaline stops and I watch the game on DVD later. Good luck to anyone who takes it on.

I know what it is like. Writing the match report for the NRC game against you lot last year, I stopped to wonder - "Is this worth it. Will anybody read it?"

Possibly another section that should be included in requirements for a franchise - "It was Wigan coach Michael Maguire's first visit to the Jungle and he seemed less than impressed with the surroundings. The Wigan team opted not to use facilities at the ground, arriving already changed and showering elsewhere afterwards." YEP 22/03/10

100% agree. The Kaye/Kain option is the best we've had for a long time.

Ha, Ha, bl@@dy Ha.

You'll certainly find loads of 'deliberate' mistakes on the DVD. Must be dangerous playing against St Helens with all those lions at Knowsley Park!!

Thanks. Give that man a cigar for finding this week's deliberate mistake. Your slipping Sidnee! I wish I could edit the DVD commentary as easily as I can a web page.
