It goes to show that the top 5 hopefuls didn't give a sh*t about it, wh an extra (no importance) game could be the difference between 2/3/4 place for us and them.

no not leigh bad enough aston at wembley without having beumont there as well

Thought it was a cracking game and best game of the weekend .

Glad Leigh lost as now they can focus on the league.

And knock Toronto off their perch.

It's building up to be a great finish to the season.

Likewise mate

You come in numbers,enjoy our hospitality,and bring some noise

Despite the banter there always great games whether is a drop goal from Kevin curruthers or a penalty goal from Stuart Dickins to pinch the points

No doubt another page of history will be written regarding our clashes.

Enjoy....but not too much ??

I remember that Stuart Dickens game. I'd packed Rugby in on the last day of 95 before Super League started, Oldham April 95 was it for me. 

11 years later I was a loose end one Sunday and Featherstone had dropped to what was Division 3. They had a pre season friendly v Wakefield. I'd just joined this forum and was getting a little bit sentimental with regards to Rovers. 

I went to the friendly and Rovers did okay. I was shocked at how the game had changed, but I found that I'd rekindled a little interest. Anyway I digress, the Dewsbury game was the first away game I'd gone to since that fateful Halifax game in 95.

If I remember correctly it was April 2006 Rovers against the odds took a substantial lead around the half time interval. It was something like 4 tries to 1. Josh Weedon, just back from injury was having a blinder. After half time Dewsbury staged a remarkable comeback and Francis Maloney scored a drop goal that looked to have won Dewsbury the game. Rovers kicked to Dewsbury who were in possesion with 30 seconds to go. I then saw something that I'd never seen before or since in 45 years of being interested in RL. Dewsbury were about 40 metres from their own line with 1 tackle left. Referee Colin Morris in his final game (as far as I can remember) penalised Dewsbury for supposedly delaying the play the ball.

Stuart kicked the goal and Rovers, who'd had a torrid start to the season came away with a hugely improbable and ultimately bizarre victory. 

Dewsbury subsequently comfortably won automatic promotion that season but not before Rovers put them to the sword in the corresponding fixture at POR that August.

Yes it was Colin Morris last ever game

And never recovered from the mistake he made that day, good ref throughout his career but that took off a little of the tarnish.

 

 

And he's still not welcome back at the Rams

 

Not that we hold a grudge lol

Best game of the weekend Coolie was Dewsbury winning at Rochdale on the rainy side (!!!) of the hill. Now above Batley for once. 

Legs, Dews, Legs.
