Great win today for the robins,twitchy bottom at the end though,had a couple of quid on them as well i really did fancy them to win today.saints came back from 22-6 down to level at 22-22.jake webster kicked a penalty to take it to 24-22 to rovers.they scored in the last minute but the touch judge disssallowed it,best atmosphere ever in that ground.unlucky at wakey for your lot mate.Long time no here ray hows burstwick,

Dont think it was a true reflection really,that was only the second competitive game in weeks for the storm,and six of their best players never even travelled.To be honest i dont really see the point of these games.Leeds will probablty lose three players for their next match now,which will please you james,No game for us this weekend,due to last nights game,which is no good when you are trying to get a roll on.Will be watching the bulls tonight,they should win.And i think Huddersfield will wipe the floor with hull tomorrow sorry ray,

Ron, I disagree. The salary cap is the best thing ever, it is the reason that Hull KR can beat St Helens, (sorry Dodger just using your Guys as an example) unlike in footy can you see Derby beating Man U?



Wigan and Saints used the technicality that although the penalties, ie points reduction agreed the year before had never been actually written into the rule book, so you only got the minimum of points knocked off! and you didn't just creep over it, you really took the P**s



I agree we should have relegation but maybe have another 2 teams in the super league then we dont have to have the silly position of playing some teams more than others.

Ron,

Sorry but i cant go with your comments regarding the salary cap i think it is a great idea,and i dont understand what you mean when you say that it is holding the game back.Why would you want to go to games and see 50 point margins ,because that is what would happen if the salary cap wasnt in place.



Last year your team(wigan) broke the salary cap (again) and should have been deducted the full twelve points which could have seen you relegated.What is the point of putting rules and regulations in place,if the spineless rugby league are going to change them.You were way over the cap and everyone knew the rules at the start of the season,so really there should have been no excuse.



As for relegation i totally agree with you on that one and i think it stinks if it is going to be abolished forever,and may stop me renewing my season pass at rovers next season.Last season we were in a relegation battle which went right down to the last two games of the season and created alot of excitement.Two years ago it was wakey and cas scrapping it out and that battle went right down to the last game.So to abolish it is total bollocks.



I thought last nights game was pretty poor due to the weather and condition of the pitch.That has to go down as one of the worst performances from a bradford side for a long time,and i think you could be correct in your assumption James ,that bradford may struggle.I know burgess is only a young lad,but he needs to focus more on his game and not try to smash everyone up at every attempt,he seemed to come of second best last night against fielding.But i suppose he will learn.



Wigan also seem a very ordinary and somewhat over rated side,how did they manage to get beat by the scum last week at the k.c.The refs are really starting to piss meof as well, with their regimented penalties.Every game is starting to follow a pattern were the ref will penalise one side on numerous ocassions.And then later in the game will even up the penalty count,by heavily penalising the other side.At least they are consistent.

Ray,

Got to agree with you re- leeds but hats of to cas i thought they were a breath of fresh air,and it just shows you that rugby league is such a simple game when you give the ball air and pass it around.I still think that most teams would have beaten leeds on friday though.Off to wakey soon fingers crossed for a win,

KR v Ull should be a good match.

Did you see Ganson and Klein are reffing the Bradford v leeds match at Cardiff this year, after last years cock up! unbelievable!

Jachin, I dont mind union but I prefer to watch something exciting where you can see the ball every so often and it spends more time being passed rather than collected from row m of the stand!

Ray,

Gave away too many penalties mate or should i say we were penalised to many times.We had a perfectly legitimate try dissallowed because the ref fell over and couldnt see it.Technology needed for all games not just the ones on telly.Wigan were the better team on the day though,

Paul.

James,Raybo,Ronaldo.



James,

No controversy this year mate i thought Leeds were awesome and most teams would have struggled to live with them.



Ronaldo,

Saints looked as though thet were on another planet to the pies and were outstanding.



Raybo,

Hull and rovers looked like two average super league teams with Rovers just shading it.



The event in general,

Totally disagree with the whole thing,

Paul.
