Can't really remember the last time we did that to a team at the top end of the league.
Rochdale were blown away.
Some fantastic tries.

Some of the Cougars tries were unbelievable They deserve a much bigger audience than 900 or so if anybody has any ideas how hundreds if not thousands more can be invited or encouraged to match days at Cougar Park.

The 907 attendance is actually our biggest home non play off match v Rochdale since my records began in 2009.

Last years attendance v Rochdale was 811 and that was in tier 2

We now average 858 v rochdale over the last 5 matches
Highest attendance was 982 in the tier 3 playoffs.

So 907 looks a decent crowd, can't argue with the fact they deserve more though.

I thought it was a fantastic performance - Tiger was on fire!

There seems to be a a great blend of youth and experience, and a team spirit not seen for a long time.

Agree that performances like that deserve far bigger crowds.

I sadly missed the game Sunday due to illness, but sounds like I missed a cracking performance, and I can't travel to Sundays game either, but good luck to the lads on Sunday. I may have to settle for the Halifax game Saturday if I am allowed out !

We really do need another win against NW Crusaders on Sunday.

Looks like Kevin Penny will be playing for them again as he has done so for their last two games.

'DR' must be the most contentious Rule ever to be applied.

We need to hit them hard early on to knock them off their game, and keep up that intensity for 80 minutes. That way, I'm sure we can keep Kevin Penny quiet.

Despite the scoreline, I felt like Rochdale always had the potential to come back at us had we not remained switched on throughout.

Don't think he will be playing. As he is playing in the CC today.

Even after his try yesterday afternoon, I wouldn't put anything past them! Anthony Murray's comment:

“Having Gary Middlehurst back will be a big boost for us and we’ll have to see who’s available to use on dual-registration from Warrington.”

speaks volumes and the RFL ignore, what could be deemed to be, abuses of the Rules as we all know only too well.
