There's bound to be some s in rover shirts sat in the east stand. 

With Leigh's defeat last night, next Saturday will see the current top two in SL go head to head. I reckon the last time the pair of us stepped out as 1st & 2nd was Good Friday 1984? Unless any of the old heads can recall such an occasion over the past 41 years!!? 


Good Friday 1984 at old Craven Park (Holderness road next to the bus depot!!), and the infamous Len Casey sending off after Fred Ah Khoi baited him once too often and Casey bit, but it was the aftermath of the sending off that caused all the subsequent kerfuffle!!!
Seem to recall those of us stood at the old greyhound scoreboard end going mental as the linesman fell over!!! 
We ended up running away with game, winning comfortably by the end, although it wasn't enough to stop them from taking the League title crown we had won twelve months previous.


Fairly sure that was the last time we faced off as 1&2 at the top of the league.

Not only the first challenge cup Derby since 86, but also a top of table clash.


Should be a cracker.

I'm happy that we're being wrote off. I think we have players in there that will be bouncing for that challenge.

We have Asiata, Sezer and Martin. They were the ones that ripped Wigan to pieces in the last round.


We have big Herman in top quality form. I assume we'll be bringing the quality of Hardaker back in. A challenge cup legend (particularly against Rovers) in Tom Briscoe.


We've still got some good tools to work with
