Surprised how many Rovers fans don't know the rules about double movement. They seem to think they've been robbed by not getting Parcell's try awarded despite it been the most obvious promotion of the ball I've seen for a while. https://twitter.com/mikeddpm/status/167 ... jwaog&s=19 This is my favourite tweet so far. Guy is so deluded it's laughable "Apart from the breakaway try Fc didn't threaten".... what, apart from the other 2 trys we scored??

You can say the same about Taylor and Griffin Mrs B. Thought those 3 were well past it, they've all had good seasons

Remember when Keith said all Rovers halfbacks were better than Clifford, not only is he better than any of their halfbacks, he is also better than any of their fullbacks.

Imagine the abuse Hoy would have taken on social media if he misses that tackle of Swift like Walker did.

Missed the game today as I was at Headingley for the cricket.
Sounds like a bit of a scrappy game but for a derby only the result really matters.

Re: Craven Park Derby - the City is Ours : Sun Jul 09, 2023 7:12 pm  

A gutsy win which took some digging out. The game as a whole was hardly an exhibition of free-flowing rugby but we gradually ground them down as the 2nd half wore on after a very lethargic 1st half.
Heaven knows games like this aren't much good for my shredded nerve-ends! I'm getting too old to be watching this!

Nine games still remaining and most of them are certainly winnable, which would put us somewhere in the mix come late September. Question is, can we maintain a reasonably high performance standard enough to pinch a play-off spot? I'm still not wholly convinced we will, but at least we have some hope which is more than we could have said after Good Friday.

As for our nearest and dearest, they look like they are running on empty based on their last two performances. That early season spark has definitely disappeared somewhere, think it's Wembley or bust for them in 2023.

Right now, I'd rate our chances of being in the six better than theirs, which is some turnaround from when we last crossed swords with them.

Onwards and upwards hopefully, with everything crossed.

Personally I can only see Salford dropping out of the top 6. Wire are stuttering but Williams coming back will steady them. Hudds. look as though they’ve woken up at last, we play them twice, it could have a bearing. Think we’ll just miss out and Leeds will sneak in.

Well played mate.if im honest,wasnt a great game,both sides,loads of mistakes,but the best team on the day won.
.I expected clifford to be the man to stop,but I thought he had a relatively quiet game,and houghton appears to have found a new lease of life.
We were very ordinary at best,hard to say who shone for us.I dont understand why parcell didnt come on till 50 odd mins and he was probably our best player again.
