Great weekend for us. Beating Saints last night. I think that must be in our greatest SL victories. The 42-6 mauling of Hull at the KC last year just pips it for me but an incredible result. Come on Rovers.
Yes, Leeds well beaten, no matter what the scoreboard says. How often have we seen the Australians do this to British sides? 30 or 40 minutes of tough, head-to-head play, then suddenly the dam bursts and it's all over in a flash.
See Tony Smith has taken over at Warrington with James Lowes as first team coach
Not surprised James Lowes has been demoted. It's really no good sitting there in the stands looking anguished when things go wrong, as he did all game last week. You've got to at least try to project an air of calm and authority. And keep talking into the phone, even if you are just ordering an after-game pizza for the team.
Great game tonight between Saints and Leeds , no love lost between Bailey and Graham . Didnt think the shoulder hit was a bad hit , but it spiced things up . Bailey ripping Robys shirt off lol and calling to Graham which you could hear over the refs mic F... off you fat c... :eek:
I thought the hit from Bailey on Fa'Asavalu was incredible. Possibly the two biggest men in SL. Great game, the fact that both sides don't get on added spice. Was suprised that Jamie Peacock didn't lose it
Sounds like something awful may have happened in the academy game before the Wakefield/Celtic game.
A player has been airlifted away, and it's caused the first team game to be caled off at very short notice. There is no definite news as yet. I hope it's not as bad as people are fearing.

Just saw the SSN Ticker, does that mean that the Academy game was played on the same pitch before the 1st team game?
I'm afraid it does look like something very serious (hopefully not )

according to one rugby league journalist, the lad had a heart attack and was rushed to hospital, but could not be saved.
Very sad news. I think it was right to postpone the match; there are sometimes more important things than sport. I am sure the whole rugby league community echoes my sentiments when I send my condolences to Leon Walker's family.
R.I.P. Mr Walker, and my condolences go out to his family and friends, and without a shadow of a doubt it was the right thing to cancel the match. Rugby League, and sport in general comes as an afterthought in a situation like this.

Did they cost you a wager?
My heart is in my boots, they are my team
I fear Wire will get their 1st win next week as that will have took a lot out of us.
They are my team as well. I've never been so depressed following them in the 20 odd years I have done.

Rugby League always looks after its own so i am sure there will be some nice tribute.
Deepest sympathies to all family and friends
Deepest condolences to the family, friends and the club.
